  • This is why they pay me the big bucks

    Got called today to handle a situation in the mens restroom.

    The issue? The discarded paper towels in the garbage can were sticking up over the top. I had to go in and push them down into the can because some old fart complained.

    You, sir, are the real hero. You risk life and limb for the old fart to push the trash down. He's lucky you were there to save his life. It was an emergency according to him, wasn't it?

      Funny how that goes. Someone flips out over the horrible filthy state of the restroom, it usually means a miniscule mess easily corrected, like a slightly full trash can or a few drops of soap spilled on the counter. If someone casually mentions the restroom could use a tidying, you'll need a power sprayer, a barrel of industrial strength sanitizer and a Hazmat suit.
      I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

            When I was working at Sam's Club as a maintenance person, I got called to the rest rooms cause somebody was bitching that the ladies room was a mess. So what did I find when I walked in there? One little piece of a paper towel on the floor! The rest of the bathroom was clean cause I had just cleaned the damn thing!!

              I'm pretty sure "big bucks" are mostly found in the forests of North America and Europe, generally foraging, fighting with other "big bucks" or trying not to get shot.

                Maybe the complaint was from before you'd cleaned it, and it took a while to get to you?

                  Ugh, the ones that complain about the "mess" usually mean there's a piece of paper towel on the floor. It's the silent ones that just slink away that you have to watch out for! That means POOP EVERYWHERE!!!!11!

                        Did you use the old guy's head to shove the towels down with?
