So, in our deli today, we had a closer call out sick and I was asked to stay later and divide up the work with my other coworkers. As such, I was constantly in a hurry due to the increased workload and when it came time to take out the garbage on one of our six wheelers, I rushed from the department past and barely made it past the entrance when I noticed something was wrong. SHOOT-BANG!!
Now again you have to understand that 1) I was in a hurry 2) was tired 3) piled the six wheeler so that I had to look out from the side to see ahead and 4) there usually was no displays in the path I took. So what ensued was I was walking straight and didn't entirely pay attention for one second and the six wheeler came into contact with something solid. It ended up being a 3 foot tall 3 tier 2 foot round display full of 64 ounce glass bottles of Italian soda and punch. SHEET!!!
The tower toppled over with broken glass and an expanding pool of liquid quickly covering the area the size of a small living room. I called for an immediate wet clean up and it took a courtesy clerk, my SM, and myself 20 minutes to clean it all up. I sheepishly didn't own up to it to my SM who kept going on and on about the "customer" who did it (who was shopping Ray Charles?) but I was too embarrassed and just kept nodding my head at my own foolishness. CREPE!!
