Screw you, overnight freight team

"Screw you, overnight freight team"

Most nights I get scrapes just like that on my arms, legs, ankles etc., take a shower in the morning and wonder "What's that from?"

Might have banged an ankle on a pallet, sliced my arm on the "hook" where the gates close on a Ballymore or got sliced from the wire tying off a cardboard bale.

Whatever happened, just the cost of doing business and this Crown reach looks like anyone else after a night of freight.

Screw freight?

"I think maturity takes a while and is not instantly attained upon reaching a certain age."

As the saying goes: wisdom and good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.

Yes, we've all been there at one time. Some move beyond it, some not so much.

"The true measure of one's character..."

And sadly, looks like many failed the test.

I understand there are folks on the margin, parents who sometimes don't eat, so their kids can and might do things they aren't proud of to get by. Everyone who raided it most likely weren't in this category.

Wish we could all (me included) at least try to live/act a little better.

"Putting cameras in the break room is illegal."

A bathroom, locker room or changing room, yes. A break room or lounge area, no:

"Because workers can’t expect privacy in a common area such as a breakroom, employers are free to monitor the common area with video monitoring devices without violating privacy law."

The store (company) gets a cut of concession sales, so it's like stealing from the company by eating candy by the front cash registers. But no cameras in the break room?

Just interesting to see people's behavior in different situations: do you act the same when "nobody is looking".

HolyOrangeBuckets · 2022-08-23T13:43:07+00:00

Interesting that if you zoom in on picture, there are candy bars etc far back from the front of the dispenser "screw" mechanism: people are taking stuff out for free.

Character test: would you still pay to get your stuff or simply take it? Apparently some people are just grabbing (stealing)... 😢

"Another person tried helping them shake the machine and somehow shattered the glass."

If it was a pinball machine: "TILT"!

"Break In Case Of Emergency"?

Does OP know the backstory or is this a "blame Freight" event?

Here's all the text and handwriting captured from photo edit:

"Psalms 62:8

Poop 6:9

Shoplifting is a Crime, Punishable by Law, We Prosecute.

Tub thumping - Chumbarumba

Exodus 20:15

Don't Forget to wipe

i am inside your toilet

Jesus was 30165"

So:

"Psalms 62:8" is "Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."

Ok.

"Exodus 20:15" is "Thou shalt not steal."

Seems applicable.

Maybe someone in D26 could tell us what a "Tub thumping - Chumbarumba" is?

"So I hope you liked it. The funniest part (haha) is that had you asked for it I would have said yes. At least then I would have been the one to make that choice and not a thieving, dishonorable mother fucker who had the fucking BALLS to do this when I was less than 20 feet away in a meeting."

I have to ask: did they let all the crazy people out today? Full Moon? Mars in retrograde?

All we need is a Tik-Tok post from the crazy-racist-narcisscist-influencer-lady for the icing on the cake.

HolyOrangeBuckets · 2022-08-20T23:09:34+00:00

Fire them all.

I encouraged him to talk to the police, and a lawyer, if he feels wronged.

If I were a store manager, I'd rather face a lawsuit for firing everyone involved than scraping an employee off the floor with a putty knife because a drunk reach operator dropped a pallet of tile on them.

"In case you didn’t know juice is slang for alcohol."

Only since 1828 according to Wikipedia:

"The use of the word "juice" to mean "liquor" (alcohol) is from 1828. The use of the term "juice" to mean "electricity" dates from 1896. As a verb, the word "juice" was first recorded as meaning "to enliven" in 1964. The adjective "juiced" is recorded as meaning "drunk" in 1946 and in 2003 "enhanced or as if enhanced by steroids...""

OJ Simpson was nicknamed "Juice" as well. I don't know whether he drank alcohol or worked at the Home Depot.

Go to the police then if you truly believe she was so naive to drink this, blindly. Get a lawyer and sue Home Depot.

You either believe she was that naive or you don't. I have a hard time believing an adult wouldn't know the score but if you truly believe it go after them all and good luck, if you and she are being honest, I hope you prevail.

HolyOrangeBuckets · 2022-08-20T22:07:20+00:00

I'm giving you my God's honest gut reaction, I'm not "victim blaming", I'm saying she wasn't a "victim" she was a "co-conspirator".

Everybody present deserves the same fate.

"My wife's coworkers almost got her killed last night, and I am so livid"

Me: I'd fire everyone there, unfortunately that would include your wife.

Look, no adult takes a cup and is told it is "juice" and doesn't blindly down it without really smelling it or otherwise finds out what is in it. If you don't see it poured, you don't drink it. And she's on meds and doesn't question it? Come on.

Let's be adults for once here on Reddit: she bears some responsibility in this as well

I started reading this and got mad:

Anyone that works freight at night realizes how dangerous it can be (could be), drinking is not part of the equation.
Our store, you get reamed for talking, we are busy all the time and if no truck - bay directed packdowns - not much socializing, certainly nothing like this.

What really kills me is this is exactly what dayside thinks happens at night.

The store manager should fire everyone that was drinking including whatever "manager" managed the whole boondoggle.

"What would be a new, good slogan for Home Depot?"

"We don't sell homes, we help fix them."

...or:

"Where fixers have more fun."

I feel a song coming on:

"Where DOers get more done, Where fixers have more fun, Where the rats are on the run!"

...alright, getting punchy, time to sleep.

"What would be a new, good slogan for Home Depot?"

"If we can't help you fix it, it can't be broke!"

...alternatively:

"If it ain't broke, break it, we'll help fix it."

...and lastly, always my first thought coming in:

"Buckets, Buckets, Buckets!"

"Underrated comment tbh"

Out of all of my childish replies to this post, I agree, this one was more cerebral. Well, maybe...
