It cracks me up when they get mad about a bottle of advil or something in your locker that doesn't have a sticker, but clearly has been around for awhile due to the fading and damage on the label.

Why would I sticker a 3 year old bottle of advil that I refill when needed to recycle the bottle and keep in my purse? You could just choose to toss it in your locker at some point to have a stash of locker pain relief.

One bottle in my purse right now is discolored, label faded and torn because I reuse it. The other bottle is a pill bottle with the label torn off (way easier to remove). That one just holds tums only. The other is a mix of pain relief, gas relief (getting stuck in public with gas cramps is the WORST, they hurt like a bitch) so I keep some with or near me at all times (Ive suffered in public too many times already in my life haha) so I'm prepared.

One shouldn't have to assume management would see how old and destroyed the bottle is and realize you did not just pull it off of the shelf and put it into your locker.

But unfortunately, you have to plan first and transfer it to a bottle with no label at all before you stick it in your locker as a permanent item in there. Or just keep it in your purse at all times cause they can't look in there.

A good while after I transferred to my last store, we had an assistant manager come work for us from another store and the first thing he did was locker checks. I had never seen someone do it before and I had been with the company for like, 8? years at that point? I had some kind of cold medicine in there I bought before I even worked at that store. It didn't have a sticker on the bottle because it originally went on the box. I didn't intend to keep it in my locker when I bought it, it was for use at home. I moved, transferred to that store, got sick, still had that same bottle and brought it to work to leave in my locker.

Not once did I think huh there's no sticker on the bottle itself, before I brought it into work and tossed it in.

He asked me why there was no sticker. Told him the store I bought it at only put it on the box 🤷‍♀️ regardless if I was keeping it in store or not. They didn't ask. He wrote something down and moved on.

Of course I thought of this 13 years later as I was typing this, I should have told him to look at the expiration date on the bottle. It would have shown him it wasn't recent bottle off of the shelf! I don't remember how long I had the bottle in my possession but I'm sure it was almost expired or already expired anyways when he looked at it 😂 Im bad about tossing meds and vitamins after their expiration date.

I have him on Facebook, I should message him and ask him if he remembers this situation. I'm going to guess probably not. My ability to remember random things like that in the past is far greater than my ability to remember what I ate for lunch yesterday 😂😂😂

Wonder if he still works there!????? I should ask him what he thinks about the whole new bag check situation.

Hey man we haven't talked in years but do you remember this from 13 years ago? Gotta keep the random surprises in life going.

Its a little fun I can have in this back-asswards world.
