Dreaming in Digital

I dreamt I returned to working for Sobeys, but at a larger store. I made a friend who looked like Red Prince, but younger, and we worked in the same department that wasn't the front end.

It was the Christmas season, and as the day was ending, I couldn't find him.

I met a girl who was tall and strawberry blond. I tried to use a time clock machine with voice commands, to clock out, but it just kept reciting my work history. When it finally stopped, I gave up as the girl told me it was time to go.

 I followed her through the employee hall as everyone went home for the day. I watched a big, blond bully push another employee around, and when I went to try and stop him, the girl tried to stop me. She was shoved aside when the bully pushed the employee again. So I left them alone.

I followed the girl down, then upstairs and through a few winding hallways to a little banquet room. She led me to our table, and I stopped and noticed who was seated at our table: she, the friend that looked like Red Prince, Red Prince himself, Grannysmith and two others I didn't recognize. As I approached my seat by Grannysmith, the girl asked if I wanted some of her shrimp meal. I looked at my meal, which had the same food plated, so I shook my head.

When I sat down, Red Prince asked me for the resume I was holding, so I gave it wordlessly. He had another paper in his handwriting - a letter about how he wasn't paid properly for some extra work we both did. He crossed out and added my name and info on several lines. I saw his resume and asked if he's done any other work since, but he didn't respond. I don't know if he ignored me or couldn't hear me.
