sleeping with the enemy

I work for what may be labeled as a high-end, high-quality gourmet foods specialist...in other words, a market for the rich and stupid. It's main competitor in town is the mega-organisation called Whole Foods, which trumpets its organic foods selection like manna...this naturally draws away the filthy rich from Morton's, and so we have a corporate "Conflict Of Interest" policy, that makes it taboo for employees of Morton's to have anything to do with Whole Foods...I had been stealthily going to Whole foods very often, just because it's close to the bus station for a while now; and expecting to be written up any day for this gross corporate blunder....until i met one of my managers shopping around in WF today, and said, "Busted!"

after exchanging pleasantries, we agreed on a "I-wont-tell-if-you-wont-tell" sort of program, and we went our separate ways, leaving me with the wherewithal to come into WF any bloody time i wanted to, and breach our policy with absolute impunity...
