    Bent Staple Fail Blog (image heavy)

    Here's some pictures of various dumb shit I've seen at my store over the last several weeks.

    Product Fail



    I showed this to a friend of mine who thought this product was "very f-ed up." We joked that they should've been called "Kiddie Shrooms."




    Tell me that this M&M doesn't look stoned (it's a "candy fan").......




    So after you've made your fortune selling kiddie shrooms and selling weed to anthropomorphic M&Ms, what better to splurge your ill-gotten gains on than some fake diamond encrusted pens, staplers, and calculators? Much to my surprise, these stupid things are actually selling.




    Take a look at the shape of this box, then look where the "This end up" arrow is pointing.......


    Co-Worker/Management Fail



    I don't think this pile of cardboard is big enough; it hasn't reached the top of the baler yet......thanks, by the way. I always need more work.....




    This is Focker after unsuccessfully attempting to slide a dump bin across the aisle. I guess he forgot that this building is kind of old so the floors aren't even anymore. Yes, it's blurry....which is the only reason I posted it; I wouldn't post a clear picture of a colleague without permission.

    Warehouse Fail



    Way to follow directions there......



    This is what happens when you stack the top of a pallet unevenly and then shrinkwrap it way too tight.....




    Nice....I open this box (which was supposed to be several packages of storage boxes) and find a whole bunch of random stuff crammed into it. Those are protective desk pads that are supposed to be shipped flat. They bent them to fit into this box. Idiots......



    Oh yeah, those desk pads are going to sell REAL well with that huge crease down the middle......

        We sell those at the swamp.

        Oh sorry, did I say sell them? I meant "have them on display for sale but nobody ever buys them." The Wonka candies are way overpriced for what they are.

        If anybody did that at the swamp, I'd be finding out who and kicking their ass.

                  *cough*

                  ...

                  i've bought them.
                  and yes, i thought they looked like penis tips, too. but i'm totally addicted to gummy candies, so i just had to try them.
                  honest opinion? not that great. they're too soft, not sour enough, and generally funky. i'm gonna stick with sour patch kids.

                        I don't know if they still make them, but there used to be a candy called "Jolly Jellies." Not quite "gummies" but similar and they were awesome. My uncle was so addicted to them that he had granulated sugar all over his car, so much that his then-girlfriend thought he was a closet smoker and it was really cigarette ash.

                          Allow me to explain what this is. The why? Who the hell knows?

                          This is a pallet that came in this morning. The bottom half is bottled water. On top of that is a large white board. And on top of that is a jumbled disorganized mess consisting of various packages of toilet paper and paper towels......and random pieces of foam.

                          Yes, the warehouse apparently felt it necessary to forgo stacking the TP and paper towels neatly together - which would have been very quick and very easy - and instead pile them altogether into a random heap with hunks of foam thrown in for good measure, then shrinkwrap it. How they managed to do this without the whole mess collapsing is utterly beyond me, as it what purpose the foam serves since these are hardly fragile items.

                          And to think that when the warehouse screws up and includes items on the invoice that they didn't actually ship....WE take the shrink hit. They just plus the stuff back up and carry on.

                            I don't think I even need to comment on this one.....


                            Oh, and I had a woman in today who was looking for one of those fake diamond-encrusted calculators from the first post in this thread. They are long gone.

                            SC: But....I want a shiny calculator!!!

                            I dont' really have the words for THAT, either.....

                              You know...I hate to admit this, but I kind of want one of those sparkly calculators. I'm doing a convention appearance in a few weeks and I'm assembling costumes with a sort of glam-rock-slash-eighties-metal theme. So I've been plumbing Halloween shops for sort-of camp merchandise.

                              Buying a calculator like that for SERIOUS purposes? Well, since I'm not going to be in the road show version of "Legally Blonde," I don't see why I would...
