The "Fossil Family" at the Greenwood Park Mall is one of the subcultures I belong to. To stay in the subculture and avoid being fired one must show up to work on time and have a monthly IPC average above the store average. One must always come to work dressed nicely and appropriately. It's also important to know the store lingo. Every style of shirt, pants, and dress has a different name. The bags and the watches also have different names depending on their style. This subculture rarely completely comes together unless there's a store meeting or some sort of outing like a movie night or a party.
