Fear of Love
Finding love is a cathartic release from the drudgery of everyday life. However, if you are in management, love can be risky. Love with a coworker or subordinate, should it bloom into a flowering relationship shrub, will likely mean that you get relocated to another store. This is a valid fear, poised to unleash an onslaught of inconvenience and internal debate. Your best bet is to keep your relationship secret from HR, but even more importantly, make sure that the object of your affection is completely unaware of your love. If you need to have sex, fine, but do it with the lights out and don’t sleep over. Avoid being trapped in The Box with each other.

Fear of Cheese
As with all fears possibly involving fungus, this is indisputably semi-rational. This fear can be paralyzing, so you should practice being near cheese to build up a semi-tolerance to the semi-danger that it presents. Wedges are so acutely angular that they could hardly roll toward you even if they tried, and sliced cheese is for all effects and purposes completely inert. A lot of the round cheeses are pretty soft, and even if you get hit in the head with a Babybel you probably won’t need any medical attention beyond what is available in the first aid kit. Customers will overwhelm you by asking for varieties you’ve never even heard of. They’ve been to Madagascar and eaten peppered lemur cheese: both the kind made from the milk of the Peppered Lemur, and also the kind of cheese made from regular lemur milk that has pepper added to it. So while cheese is mostly harmless, it is also semi-terrifying. Avoid that part of the store.

Fear of Polenta
75% of the time, your fear of polenta is 99.9% valid. At best it is benign. At worst, it can tear families apart and ignite civil war. That never actually happens, but theoretically it’s possible if the store was in a really bad neighborhood or something. Make sure customers know what they’re getting into.

Fear of Gladiolus
Originally created over a thousand years ago by grafting a palm tree to an iris, these were intended to be used as melee weapons. So sturdy that they cannot wilt or break, and yet still technically maintaining the distinction of being flowers, the gladiolus is neither as strong as a palm frond, nor as pretty as an iris. You really have no reason to fear it. You should fear the people buying it though. If you’re bored, ask them about their relationships with their grandparents. Hoo boy, you’re in for a ride!

Fear of Stacking
Cracker boxes. Stacked up. Two layers? THREE layers? You’re starting to sweat. And what if it’s Joe Joe’s cookies, in the boxes specially designed to defy physics and lean the wrong way no matter which end they’re on or which way they’re facing? Sheer terror. Stack as little as possible. Touch as little as possible. GO BACKS! SEND THEM BACK! They don’t all need to go up! Turn! Run away! To minimize the risk of nightmares tonight, have a cup of Well Rested Herbal Tea when it’s over.
