Was cleaning up a mess a customer made when they smashed a few glass jars and bottles in the glassware section. I go to grab unbroken items to take them to get wasted when I noticed a yellow tinge in the bottom of a bottle on the shelf.
Someone had relieved themselves in not just 1 but 2 clear water bottles.

How did they manage that without other customers seeing?

During one of my night shifts I had a mentally deficient lady stare at me while she ate a box of smarties. There was no hiding she just kept staring and eating and when she finished she just left

THIS IS MY STOOOOOORE!

No way that is a real product.

I've seen a bottle of Oragina, but not one like this.
No way that is a real product.
Pretty sure that it's real though.
Also people are less blind on wednesday then on monday.

Just last Saturday, working an overnight at a Kum and Go gas station, this latino guy walks in, and asks me how much Corona we had in stock. I show him to the beer, he picks up 2 and brings them to the checkstand, then goes back and picks up two more. He stops at the checkstand and pulls his wallet out after I ask him for his id, he starts to look around suspiciously, and I start to back away to the exit of the checkstand to confront him.
Here's where the other guy comes in. He had left his pickup running, and Mr. Beer Run saw the opportunity and took it, bolting out the door and tossing the beer into the back of the truck, got in and sped off. I chatted with the guy who had his car stolen, surprisingly he kept his calm talking to me, but I could tell he was motherfucking PISSED. I let him use my phone to find a ride since the store phone didn't work, but he couldn't find anyone who wanted to get off their ass and help a friend. He then went to the store across the street to call a taxi. Cops weren't called because the guy was a bit drunk and didn't want to talk to them right then.

Confirming that it is in fact, real.

They are pretty common here in Vancouver, I'll try and pick one up tomorrow.

Do you receive a beast as a whole thing? Or in vac-packed pre-cut chunks? Because if it's the latter i'm pretty sure you can be called a slicer and not a butcher. Well, that's how it is in Australia.

so I work at this indie pc/support store and i'm working front desk and stuff and this guy walks in with a g15 box and says "I'd like to return this"
he had the receipt for it and stuff so I run though the basic "need to check keyboard against warranty" and then he gets all shift eyes but doesn't object
pull the keyboard out of the box, and I am absolutely astounded at this guy's naivety: 5 keys are missing (P R G H and X), the windows key on/off switch doesn't work, the LCD screen has cracked on the inside and bled out and the back of the keyboard has a fault which looks like he tried to bend it around the back of his knee. "can i get a return?"
"no"
he showed up 2 days later trying to convince someone else that he could get a return, and my boss was all like "no, you can't do that, warranty is not a get out of jail free card"
i think he mentioned something about a dish-washer, i dunno i was busy focusing on the malformed keyboard

That's why I never leave my car running if I'm not around it.
That really sucks though.

So this older guy always comes up to my register at work. He usually pays in ones, and calls them his stripper bills. I used to think it was really funny, until I found out he really owns a strip club in Tampa.

Just got a call from one of our suppliers asking to confirm our fax number, I confirm it and fifteen minutes later the fax machine spits out five pages of blank paper.
They put their invoice they were faxing us in backwards. And they are unlisted on call display so I can't tell them they are faxing blanks.

I feel bad for people who work in fast food. I personally worked at Wendy's when I was still in high school, and let me tell you guys a story.
I always would run a register. During downtime you'd clean off the tables / restock the salad dressing packets. One day I was cleaning the counter top, and this young kid comes up to me,
"Someone shit in the sink man."
I laughed and ignored it, thinking he was probably kidding.
5 minutes went by, and an old black man with a cane comes up to me. He slams the cane on the counter, and says,
"Someone crapped in your sink."
"What?"
"Follow me."
Sure enough, I go into the bathroom, and sitting in the sink is a fresh pile of shit. It wasn't just a few pieces here and there, it was FILLED. This had been planned out and executed with perfection, because there was no shit on the sinks edge, no shit anywhere else.
Now here's the part that baffles me. The bathroom had 2 stalls and one urinal. There was no lock on the bathroom door, so anyone can walk in at any time. The sink was raised higher than a toilet, and would require jumping to get up here. Who is really capable of jumping up there, laying one out, and getting out before customers walked in? It was nearly all the time that people would be in there.
So I go up to my manager, Ed, and tell him "Ed, someone shit in the sink. What should we do?" He looks at me, and says, "Double glove up, take a chili cup, a bag, and clean it up."
It didn't smell, until the first scoop. It took about an hour, but damn it, I got it sparkling clean, at the cost of losing my appetite for 5 hours.
Turns out it was the one employees ex-boyfriend. Asshole.

They're definitely real, I vividly remember chugging on a glass orangina bottle like that while on a FUCKING HOT road trip in france back in 1998
No way that is a real product.

SPEAKING OF ORANGINA
But honest question here: does it actually work as aftershave/deodorant?

But why is a cougar(?) shaving in the first place?

I used to work at Tesco during all the IRA Scares every Friday the same person called the store and said their was a bomb in the store and each time we had to evacuate everyone and call the Police this went on for a fucking year until we found out it was one of the cashiers

Today at work it was "Target's Biggest Day Off"
So basically as I mentioned before my job is to use my jack to pick up pallets, bring them to the floor, put the boxes in the aisle where they'll be put on the shelf later and once the truck is empty we open the boxes and stock the shelves.
So I go to work and the truck is half empty so I didn't think it would be so bad.
Than it turns out there were only two of us to bowl it out compared to like four or five that's needed to do it on a reasonable day.
It wasn't so bad until near the end we hit the market motherload. We are remodeling and our market section finished recently so we got hit hard. Fucking hard. For an hour all I did was pull market pallets out and bring them to market. I had to put them all along the end caps, along side of the new freezer aisle and than we ran out of room so we put some down an aisle and the rest in the plastics department and we had over thirty by the end. When we bowled it out the boxes were so thick in the aisles you couldn't even climb over them.
And than we'd empty pallets and we brought out the stuff from aisle 32 that no one else except us knew were there and we brought like five before they asked where we were getting them and one of the guys said he got them from "The Hyperbolic Time Chamber" which kind of sets in stone the notion he comes to work stoned out of his mind.
It was intense.
Edited:
We broke a bunch of jars and shit too. Vinager, Salsa, Soy Sauce, Olives and something else I think was oil or something.
It smelled like hot shit back there. We usually have one spot on the line for market pallets but there was so much we had to convert all nine spots to market pallets to keep the line from overflowing.

But you still got to roll the nickles though, right?
-
I get paid regardless what I do. So yes.

Sounds like you definitely work hard to roll your nickels.

So lets make my day worse, I walked in and went to the back. One of our girl deli people was telling my cashiers that I'm no longer going to be the assistant manager or cashier manager or front end manager and the new manager is taking my place.
I found out by my cashiers telling me cause they think it's fucked up if i loose my position cause they all really like how i do and how i am.
Before you go "Oh shes just starting shit" She gets told stuff she shouldn't by our store manager. Like she was mentioned how we are getting a new manager and i didn't know till i confronted the owner of the store that day. So now im scared to even ask whats up with my job. I need this job badly too :(
-
I don't know how you guys put up with all that bullshit. I try to be as nice as possible when dealing with retail workers, knowing that way too many people treat them like shit. Good job guys. Seriously.

I work in the meat department at a grocery chain. First off I have to explain the sinks we have. We have three sinks all side by side, one for soapy water, one to rinse, and the last to sanitize. They take like five minutes to fill up so you go and do other shit while they fill. One of my co-workers forgets on a regular basis that she left water running. :P
Onto the story.
Every day I work our new freezer load that comes in, after I'm done I end up with about 70% empty boxes and the rest half empty which then get put in repack for me to work at a later date. So I was taking a cart full of boxes over the u-boat that we put the empty ones on to be taken to the compactor, which happens to be right next to the sink. I see that the water is about to overflow, so I turn it off, and then transfer the water supply to the main sink used for rinsing. Now, when filling them up, you normally have the taps on full hot, no cold at all, since you don't get to it right away. If you get to the dishes before it cools down you either have to add some cold to the mix, or wear water proof gloves so your hands don't get all burny. So I turn it on full blast, MAXIMUM HEAT, and then turn around to finish the boxes. That's when I hear: CRACK, CLANK, PSSSSSSSH. I turn around AND THE FUCKING FAUCET HAS BROKEN OFF. The burning hot water is now BLASTING straight up, HITTING THE CEILING, and then splashing down on everything. I run to the window separating the backroom from the counter area and bang on the window at my co-worker. She looks up with a glare assuming that I'm just giving her shit about forgetting the water. Then she sees it, and her face goes from anger, to shock, to panic in one second flat. I turn around, grab the biggest box I can see, put it over my head, and go in for the tap. So I go dashing in over slippery floor, with hot water LITERALLY raining down on me and my cardboard box umbrella. I manage to get to the tap and turn it off.
I looked around and the water had trashed all my cardboard :( which I then had to stock from for the rest of the week. Turns out the tap had just come loose and fallen off, it hadn't snapped so I just screwed it back on.
SERIOUSLY, the most epic moment of working at king soopers.

Want my private selection of meat ;)

No thanks, I already have the "Best beef in town."

I work at a skate shop. When It's dead I practice my kickflips and listen to gangster rap over the store's speakers. Also, I have seniority and I've been there less than a year. It's really not all that bad.

Looks familiar, "The Fresh Market" comes to mind.Heres where i work, I love the atmosphere the employees and the customers.
Now, a story. So, I used to work at an Amazon.com distribution center from autumn 2010 to spring 2011. Well during holiday season 2010 the Temp agency would hire fresh employees which would come in to start their assignment every friday. Which, for the most part, was fun, meeting new people and training them how to pick and use a barcode scanner. Around three quarters of the way through the day, the fire alarm would go off and we all evacuated and waited outside for a few hours. After the fire response came, and security swept the building for any fire, it turns out someone stole quite a bit of merch. So, another week passes, they caught the theif, and comes a new friday. The same thing happens, this time even more merch was stolen and we waited out even longer in the freezing cold with no suspect caught. So this continues to happen until holiday season was over, with several people having to go to hospital for hypothermia and more than twenty thousand dollars of merchandise stolen. Let's just say we were overjoyed when the rest of thieves were caught and got several months and quite a large fine. I heard some tried to do this again holiday of 2011, they didn't get far.
Edited:
Never the less, I might be returning, they've been offering me a safety admin position and I'm thinking of taking them up on their offer.
