Stupid things i've done at Tesco eh?
- Unloading milk from the back of the truck. I didn't check the tail lift was totally down to the ground. Pulled the milk off, it tipped over, onto me. Hurt like hell - milk is pretty heavy.
- Messing with the forcourt tannoy. "HAI I'M BARRY SCOTT". Did it once while the area manager was out there, pretty lucky he found it hilarious.
- Trying to get in the spirits cupboard behind the till, i've got no patience when things like that won't open, and guess what - the door was stuck. Swore at it a couple of times, in front of a queue of customers, then gave it an almightly kick. Door fell off, four £15 bottles of Smirnoff fell out, smashed all over the floor. Oooooooops.
My party piece however.
Picture it. Friday morning. Been at work since 6am. Tired, cranky, needing food. But there's nobody to cover the tills, so my attempts to get a break fall on deaf ears. I'm working away but slowly getting more and more irate.
Anyhow, my nose starts to bleed. Now, in a supermarket this is a pretty big deal. But not to my manager. I told him I need to go sort it, but he does nothing. I tell him again, and again, but nobody comes to relieve me.
Anyhow, final straw - some old bag tells me I should go get it sorted out because "she doesn't want my diseases on her food". Her tone stunk too.
So I told her to take herself out in the carpark and "play hide and go **** herself". Cue silence. "I want to speak to the manager". I get hauled in the office. Before my manager can say anything, I explode at him, tell him if he pulls anything like that again i'll sue his ass from here to kingdom come.
Then I walk out and take the rest of the day off.
Told you, no patience.
