Bud Brown

Bud Brown is introduced in chapter 2 as a store manager which David has distaste towards. It is apparent pretty early on wherein Bud is rude to both the workers and some of the shoppers. After the mist occurs, Bud is brought into the loading dock to check out the tentacles which dragged Norm out and confirms to the rest of the store that the situation is somewhat out of hand. He is never really mentioned again, though he tries to keep the store in check as a way of keeping sane, except even though he doesn't join Mrs. Carmody's congregation he refuses to leave as he has to take care of his store.
