I was closing up in the deli one night, and about 15 minutes before I was to leave I took the slicer down to clean and some woman came up and asked me if we were going to be putting out any more fried chicken.
This was about 9:45 at night, and normally the last time fried chicken gets put out at our store is between 4:30 and 5 p.m.
i saw an old man crap his draws and leave a turd right in the middle of the floor in front of the seafood counter. this is not a joke post, i am 100% serious
Back in 1999 I worked @ a store where in a span of 7 days. The store manager who was w/ the company many year quit. A few days later, co manager #1 was fired for hitting an employee after being called a racial slur. Then co-manager #2 a few days after that was fired for theft
Christmas eve 2011 a young girl come up to me about 6:15 pm and ask if we had prepaired meals for Christmas. I told her it was too late to put in an order because we close at 7pm. She just looked at me so serious and said
"Oh what do I do? My turkey if frozen I need a meal tonight" I started to tell her to just throw the turkey in the fryer frozen. LOL
A few months an old man came in our store he had SH** himself. He left a tail all the way to the mens restroom. This was a Wednesday right before the staff meeting. I barged in the meeting I told the manager some man just SH** all over the store. This is gross I know but you asked for crazy things. I had to help with cleaning this up and let me tell you. It was not fun. But I did get a shineing star. If I would have gotten the $500.00 out of it I guess I could say it was worth it. But I told the people in the meeting I was sorry the way I acounced it I was just upset and they understood.
Last Saturday night, there was a drunk couple having a fistfight out in the parking lot. A sober man who was with them came in for a 24 pack of beer. He said that he was with them, and that he had hoped he could get them home before they started to fight and act as marriage counselor.
He hurried out the door and drove out of the parking lot right as the police showed up.
Another time I had some extreme couponers. They did a really ****ty job and none of their coupons worked. The guy behind them in line got so pissed off he started shouting at them and damn near started a fight.
I work the 3rd shoft on the weekends, so I see some pretty awe inspiring or facepalm worthy things.
Like, it was my first or second weekend working it. A drunk couple comes in, I think nothing of it, it happens frequently. They come up to me and ask if we have any handcuffs, by this point I have noticed the woman is handcuffed together. I point them to the correct aisle. They return to the uscan and start to buy the handcuffs, bickering here and there. They pay, open the package, and pull out the keys. The drunk guy starts to try unlocking the handcuffs. Through all of this, I manage to keep a straight face, not a single facial twitch to show how badly I wanted to laugh, until... they come up to me and ask *me* to unlock the handcuffs. I couldn't help it I was practically in tears laughing so hard. Cheap toy handcuffs are made to be easy to get off, plus they're easy to break. They must have been pretty far gone to not even think to use the little lever release on the cuffs. This was like "Welcome to 3rd shift... enjoy."
Another one I have. A "customer" (I use the term loosely) came in late one night and walked around for a while. At night, the lanes are blocked off so people have to walk by uscan. He stopped by the register where all are cigerettes are at, I can see him through the glass, and he hops over the belt and behind the register. I see him do this. As he's grabbing cartons of Newports I call "So and so the the front for immediate assitance." We didn't have security at the time. The guy stands up from his "sneaky" crouch walks out from behind the register, turns and looks at me and says "Man, don't do that." And darts out the door. The head of the night crew, the person I called for *immediate* assistance, showed up ten mintures later. By this point I've written down time, date, description of the guy, what happened, and what he took. He tells me not to worry about and goes back to stocking. I made copies of the paper, left one for loss provention and one for the store manager. They haven't done any thing. I still see this guy in the store.
Yea, those are only the two that come to mind now. I've worked 3rd shoft on and off for like 2 years... so yea I get weird things frequently.
I just thought of another one, and I may have posted this once before, but its still funny. I have worked the 1230-9/130-10 shift a majority of the time Ihave been w/ the company. One summer evening I was working in produce, and a man came up to me and asked if I had any bad or moldy strawberries. Not sure where this was going, I said something like I've put out all the berries and disposed of the bad ones. He said "darn my wife needs them, she's got poison ivy real bad and the doctor told us to smear berries all over her body." I wasnt sure how to respond to this, and said ok.
ok i work nights and one night as i was closing the store the office girl comes up to me and said there's a couple in the parking lot having sex the car was out a little ways but under the light i look and yep the girls on top stark naked i walk to the care pound on the window and say get out now she jumps off the guy he rolls down the window and says here my condom i said keep it i'm sure you'll use it again now get out
Got another one. I was working the nutrition section of produce on afternoon. At the time it was near the rest rooms near the front of the store. I saw an old lady with **** stains running down her leg down to her foot. She left a trail from the ladies room door to the front door of the store.
I went to tell the office about the mess and they got some 15 year old girl who had been there just a couple of weeks to clean it up. They tried to get some 16-17 year old boy to do it and he nearly puked when he saw it and he refused.
I couldn't clean it. I had to get the nutrition section ready for inventory that night. LOL!
I work 3rd shift and there is a guy who comes in about twice a week. He walks the store for about 15 minutes yelling "JOHN, WHERE ARE YOU?" No one that works there is named john, he does that for like 15 minutes and leaves. He has never bought a single item.
I had one couple come in late one night. He wasn't wearing a shirt They came to the checkout and all the while I was ringing up their order, which included condoms, she kept hanging on to him and running her fingers seductively through his chest hair. It made me wonder if they even got out of the parking lot before doing the deed.
In the 70s, we caught this guy taking a can of Reddi-Whip off the shelf, one by one, and holding the spray just right where he could get high of off the gas propellant in the can. On the night crew, whores would come in an buy up all the douche. Sororities would come in and have their pledges do jumping jacks in the aisles. (gotta date with one of them.)
OH!! Best night EVER...one of the guys in the stock crew brought his motorcycle in and road it up and down the meat dept aisle. We had to clean up all the marks he made from doing wheelies. Good times!
Once a guy came into our liquor store, couldn't pay or something, and ragequit all over the place, knocking over tons and tons of bottles, destroying over 3000 in product...
We also have panhandlers inside the store sometimes, as well as the tweakers talking about nonsencial ****.
One of our acsc's found a guy in the bathroom creeping on his stall and jerking off. SO scary.
We had some foreign guy come in and hide upstairs in the women's restroom. He said he was hiding from his boyfriend who he claimed was going to kill him. Whether his boyfriend really was going to kill him I don't know. I don't remember what happened. That was 20 years ago.
oh yeah the night stocker guys are the best. i used to catch them smoking weed all the time, in the bathroom, in the cooler, one time right in the middle of the store on aisle 12!!!
we had a man wearing overalls dribble his mess down his leg and all the way through the store. poor manager and others were following him with a box of paper towels down each and every aisle! honest.
Somehow a guy got caught jerking off in our restroom.
We also lost a manager since she was sneaking off with a construction worker on the clock. There's a lot of gossip. Officially, she was missing from the store while on the clock. Unofficially, there's stories about getting caught in action in a car around back.
Had an enormously fat woman driving a brand new Cadilac try to sell me a link card; she claimed it was loaded up for $200., wanted $20. in cash for it.
had a guy in the store a few years ago where he was 1/2 hanging out the 40 foot part of the ceiling. swat came in and removed him. homeless guy was crawling through a tile in the back restroom and was living in the roof for 3 months. he'd come out and night and get whatever he wanted the crawl back up
There's so many I don't even know where to begin. Most recent crazy thing was an employee walked in on two other employees having sex on the floor in the break room. They weren't fired, so that's a nice thing for the rest of us to know if we ever get the urge
When I was a utility clerk someone wrote F*CK YOU on the walls in the women's restroom. It happened right before I got off. As I was just getting ready to clock out they asked me to "get that." Now, being as at that time I had no training on how to clean it, I let it sit after telling one of the guys who asked me to get it that I dont have training. Come the next day right after clocking in, I had to watch a video on how to properly clean and dispose of messes like that, and "jokingly" warned to not do that again. The mess was still waiting for me after the video. They just locked the bathroom stall and wrote out of order and blocked off the stall door in the bathroom. Yes, it sat and waited for me ALL NIGHT to come in the next day to clean it.
Pretty ****ty (pun intended) and lazy of them to do.
