So I knew yesterday May 8th was going to be a tough day with all 120 pallets coming in as fast they can bring them in. I don't mind that at all, because I like the challenge of trying to get them all up in a short five hours and fifteen minutes. At the end of the night there where only twenty pallets left, not to bad considering that we have to help customers while we throw the freight up.
For the past week I have been covering a department I really don't know much about. Except light bulbs and ceiling fans. Well anyways this family meanders their way into the isle to look at light bulbs and has a heated discussion about which ones they want. Eventually they went with the florescent spirals to save some extra money for ho-ho's or something.
I digress, I was stocking the light bulbs when out of the corner of my eye I catch one of them flinging something the size of a baby around in the air. I look up to see what it was and I was glad to see it was a doll used for parenting class, you know the kind that reacts to what you do or don't do to it. As I started to return my attention to the task at hand I notice that they got real quite as if they left the isle.
I turned to retrieve another box of lights and I noticed the daughter, who was no light weight sitting on my boxed of florescent tubes which I needed to put up. Obviously all the printed signs saying fragile were not clearly visible for her to see through her thick soda bottle type glasses she was wearing. I walked up to her and asked her politely not to sit on the light bulbs because they may break.
I guess my asking her not to sit on the light bulbs was a mistake, her ignorant father told her that she could sit anywhere she wished despite what I said. I gave her a stern look as if to say not to sit on the boxes again, what else could I do to stop her. I eventually called the assistant manager who came over and told them if she broke them they would have to pay for them.
What possesses people to do these idiotic things? Why can't they just do what they are told? Why does it have to be taken as some kind of slur if your fat, or skinny or anything?
