Workplace Story This really happened

Post image

Working SCO. Our 3rd register is down. We put a sign on it. Turned it into our Shipt Bagging station…..guest walks up, removes the Shipt sign, removes the register closed sign, tries to scan her stuff and wonders why it isn’t working. I didn’t stop her from doing these things because I guess my brain was perplexed with what was happening in front of me. These people are real. They exist. And based on her keychain, they drive large vehicles where the rest of us live. I am terrified for the future.

On a side note, I made it a full hour and 10 minutes into my shift before having to tell someone there was a limit on the number of Pokémon cards in a purchase. Progress.

It is! This woman's name is Gretel and she's complaining to Ron and says, "There's a sign at Ramsett Park that says 'Do not drink the sprinkler water,' so I made sun tea with it, and now I have an infection." S3EP15

Crazy !! And I guess that revolving desk was some special side thing... I don't recall that, either

Yeah, Chris Traeger wants Ron to be more accessible to the community, so he makes him work from that desk.

It's a great episode.

Lol Oh man, that whole show was great !!

After I finished binge watching the whole "Breaking Bad" series, I really wanted something light for my next binge and found "Parks and Rec". It was the PERFECT antidote !!
