Talked to David today. Someone wanted to know if David had any vegetables in hanging baskets.( Especially tomatoes and cucumbers) so I called him. He sold out of hanging "little leaf" cucumber baskets but should have more in about 3 weeks. The cucumbers taste really good and if you can't wait, just go by tomorrow and get a 4 pack for $3 and make you own hanging basket. As for tomatoes, he has got red topsy tomatoes in hanging baskets. They are cherry tomatoes. They have limited numbers of golden pear cherry tomatoes 4 pack which you can put in hanging baskets too. A 4 pack is always $3 and $20 for a hanging basket ( same as last year). Ms. Bakan will be at the nursery tomorrow.

BREAKING: A North Carolina warehouse says one of its most reliable “employees” is a black cat who clocks in like he’s been on payroll since Cook Out trays were $5.99.

Workers say he shows up right on time, walks in like he owns the building and the parking lot, and taps the time clock with his paw before starting another long shift of absolutely no measurable work. Management confirms he immediately heads to his favorite spot, finds the warmest corner in the warehouse, and locks into an eight-hour nap like it’s part of company policy.

HR tried to process his paperwork, but things got complicated when nobody could confirm his legal name, tax forms, or whether he technically lives there now. Still, after realizing his attendance is better than half the staff and his attitude is better than all of them, they gave him an employee number anyway.

One supervisor questioned his productivity once and quickly got humbled: this cat has never called out, never complained about the humidity, and somehow walks around like upper management without doing a single task.

Coworkers say he follows a strict North Carolina routine: clock in → nap like it’s a full-time job → wander the floor like he’s checking on things → stare at people until snacks appear → leave exactly at quittin’ time like a man with boundaries.

Officials are calling him a true North Carolina professional — laid back, consistent, and fully committed to doing the bare minimum with maximum confidence.

Honestly? That’s not a cat.
That’s the most dependable employee in the entire state.
