[ WP ] You work the night shift at a convenience store . One night , one of your regulars comes in with an interesting proposition ...

True story worth telling here: 
 
 I was working at a 24/7 coffee shop, on the 11pm to 7am shift, like I did five times a week. 
 We saw a ton of strange characters during the run of the nights we worked. 
 
 We even had this homeless guy who thought he was a pilot, had a uniform from salvation army and everything. Used to ride his peddle bike over to the shop at like 4am. He would buy a small coffee and regal me with stories of when he was off to `` take a flight to Paris'' that morning. He did n't know I also worked in the back at the soup kitchen on weekends. 
 
 But the crazy proposition was from this regular looking guy who worked at a call centre next to the coffee shop. He walks in like he did every other night i worked, orders his coffee and announced as I was stirring the sugars into the cup that he.. and I quote 
 
 ***'' quit his job to farm mushrooms in the woods! Prolly money in it? If I wanted in now, I only had to pitch in like $ 50 for gas and beer. `` *** 
 
 I mean.. maybe he made his millions in the dank ass mushroom business? But I turned him down, did give him his coffee on me that night. Figure anybody willing to quit work to farm mushrooms, is having a bad enough day they need a free coffee.
