Ron stops short as soon as he sees Andy. Good, he thinks. Someone he knows. Not necessarily a helpful someone- Andy can be more enthusiastic than practical, but Andy is a workplace associate. A not-awful workplace associate.
It also means April is likely nearby, and April, too, is a workplace associate.

"An-" He doesn't even get Andy's name out before a bucket is shoved into his hand, and he looks down into a bucket of chili as Andy talks. There's the enthusiasm.
But then what Andy is saying sinks in.
Fill Eagleton's pool with chili.
It might be hard to see under his mustache, but he's starting to smile. They can always go home later.
"Where's the pool, son?"
Andy always had been a more-than-adequate workplace associate.
