Co-Workers: A Case Study

edited November 2007 in Social Entropy++
okay so like most of us have jobs
which means we have co-workers

so this here is a thread for swapin' stories and gigglin' bout those people you work with.
I'll kick this bitch off


So today, just 46 minutes ago, I was standing by the punch-in/out machine thing, waiting to clock out.
This bagger that was doing her job (poorly, i might add) and is making small talk with the customer.
Here is an exact transcript of that conversation:

Bagbitch: "Are you having a boy or girl?"
Lady: "uh...I'm not pregnant."
Checker: "What is wrong with you, that lady ain't pregnant."
Bagwhore: "Oh...so when are you due?"
Lady: (with an icy tone) "I am not pregnant."
Bagidiot: "Omigod, I am SO sorry!"
Me: <chuckling>
Stupid retard: <Kusu> you'd better not be laughing at me!
Me: <uproarious laughter, pointing at her>
Her: I CAN'T DO THIS

so what about you, SE++?
Regale me with your tales.

    I once accidentally picked up a baby with an industrial vacuum

    this is less a coworker story than a work story but it was because the coworkers were pumping the ghostbusters song because I had the vacuum and I turned around to give them a dirty look because we still had customers but woops got a baby

    We had a little plastic footstool out this summer, I think it went with a chair that we were selling.
    So the store is closed, and we're getting ready to leave, and as I turn to head to the back room, I see this footstool.
    The part of me that gets me hurt a lot went "Run down the aisle, step onto the stool, and jump over that chair! It'll look really cool!"
    And it did. Right up until the part where my foot hit the stool, I went to jump, and the stool shattered beneath me. Not broke: Shattered.
    I banked my head off a shelf on the way down.

    nah he just had a few moments crying in the air before I got him off

    by, in my panic, planting my foot on his ass and shoving/kicking him out off the suction hose

    woooops

    Did anyone fuck the baby?

    I like to look at baby pictures of women I've slept with and say to the woman "look at that babe. She's so hot. I fucked her."

    Boy I sure do have a lot of women who don't talk to me anymore.

    being a bagboy is so great
    i get to do nothing because my store schedules it so there's about 8 of us at once and there are only 6 checkstands.
    not to mention usually only 3 of those are running at any given time

    i just hang out, say i'm doing carts

    here's another quote from the same girl:
    <she is standing around the express line, which doesn't have baggers, ever>
    Checker: "Why don't you go bag?"
    Her: "But I've been doing that all day!"

    the worst part is we can't fire her

    I don't have good coworker stories.
    Stupid customer stories, though? I have a metric fuckton.

    No we don't have anymore Sunday papers, it's 5:30 at night, we open at 9 AM, and everybody comes in and gets the paper and milk when the church across the street lets out at noon. If we have two left at 1 PM (local papers, not NYC papers), it's a lot. No, I can't go see if we have more in the back.

    it's a union issue
    she was at another location of our chain and got fired
    but they fucked it up somehow and now through some retarded loop hole we can't fire her

    who cares if people are lazy

    it's a supermarket

    I care.

    Because I don't have all fuckin' day and I don't want to pay higher prices so some lazy shitforbrains can sit there and do nothing.

    Oh man I saw the hottest goddamn girl last week working the register at this market near work. Holy fuck. Not even a redhead, still super-hot. Probably in high school, but she was really tall. Like, taller than I am, so probably six feet.

    I've noticed that as soon as I see an attractive woman, I look at her left hand now. This is a sign that I'm fucking old.

    No, I can't go unlock the pharmacy for you, and grab your prescription.
    For one thing, it's closed because our pharmacist couldn't stop puking. For another, it's illegal for us to give you prescription meds without a pharmacist on duty.
    And for a last thing, do I look like I'd be someone who has the keys? I'm a damn register biscuit, the store manager doesn't even have them.

    Fun Fact: The pharmacy portion of Rite Aid is actually run separately from the rest of the store: The pharmacist is the manager of the pharmacy, the store manager runs everything else.
