Home Depot and Cosa Nostra

When I was in Home Depot, a guy came in to shop and suddenly, all the employees started alerting each other and congregating around him to boo and mock him. After the commotion had died down a bit, a woman came in and the same thing happened. Curious, I asked what was going on. I was told, "Both traitors. The first was laid off and then transferred to another store; and the second accepted a higher-paying job at a rival store. We are family – Cosa Nostra. Once you’re in, you don't leave the family – just like the Utah Jazz."

Crazy.
