The gum thief

Coupland, Douglas. (Author).

Summary: Meet Roger, a divorced, middle-aged "aisles associate" at a Staples outlet, condemned to restocking reams of 20-lb. bond paper for the rest of his life, and his co-worker Bethany, who's at the end of her Goth phase and realizing she's facing fifty more years of shelving Post-it notes and replenishing the Crayola boutique in Aisle 6. One day, Bethany comes across Roger's notebook in the staff room. These two retail workers strike up an unlikely yet touching secret correspondence.
