.............um....bad person.
The other day I was working on the dock with two other guys. I was prepping the dock and since I haven't been on truck crew for a while I asked what order they wanted the side pallets.
I'll back up a little...
On truck, we lay out a bunch of pallets in a specific order that everyone grew to use. Girls, boys, wheels, preschool, sports, "imaginarium", juvenile. There are 4 side stacks, R-zone, registers,consumables and seasonal.
Recently they changed truck crew hours from 4am on to 6am on... so we have 2 hours less time to do things. Because of this, the main set of pallets are now "U-Boats" because pallets aren't allowed on the floor when the store opens. Since we don't have many U-boats, we use pallets for those side stacks.
Now the the background is finished...
I haven't worked truck crew for a while so I was unfamiliar with the order of the side stacks... since they are regulars on truck days I asked them what order they wanted them to be (so I knew where to put stuff off of the rollers). They said it doesn't matter. I said "ooook, fine... "whateva...DO WHAT I WANT" (southpark).
After I left the dock to go run a U-boat out the manager threw a fit and started saying "I'm the wrong person to say that around! He has a lot to lose! blah blah blah." My buddies told him I was just kidding and it wasn't a big deal... and he said it was. They told me about it a little later so I went to clear things up with the manager and he just sarcastically smiled and ignored me.
Ever since then he ignores me on radio... if I have a question he just keeps walking, etc...
I was called in yesterday because an employee had court. I usually don't work the floor and WOW was it insane on a weekend sale day. I was counting down the seconds until I could clock out so needless to say, I forgot to pick up my check and pick up my hours. The store phone doesn't ring until the store opens and since I don't know the office number I couldn't get ahold of anyone. I figured there was a small chance I may work today because that's my luck so I went in at 5:50 and sat in the parking lot until 6:15. No1 showed up so I left and came back at 7:45. Turns out I in fact did work at 8am. This is the second Sunday ever since November. Because I never work Sundays (and never work the floor) I didn't come in uniform. The prick manager sent me home when the store opened even though I would have been on the dock or up stairs.
I got 2 hours this week because of it. :banana:
All because I "did what I wanted" as in... what order the pallets were gunna be in.
