My night at work

Tonight I worked at Fareway. So I had to work from 5 pm to 10:50 (we were supposed to get out at 10), and this was a night that was strangely fun for the most part. It all started out with the surprise that I was going to be working in the Produce Section. This meant that I didn't have to carry out carts for the most part which can be nice.

So, there I was about two hours into my shift when the night manager comes back.
He had just broken a jar of peanuts all over the place. He explained that he was cleaning up the peanuts all over the floor an old man came and stood behind him. Not only did this old man stand behind him, but he stood very close. Then the manager turned around and noticed that there was someone in his vicinity. "Those appear to be peanuts" the old man asked. My manager responded politely then came back to the Produce Section. He told me and we enjoyed a hearty chuckle.

My favorite part of the night, however, was when a man came and asked me for help. He wanted to know if we had sushi. Then he described the kind of sushi he wanted, and he made it come across as if he wanted to know if we had a sushi bar. Few grocery stores in Iowa have a sushi bar. I am just saying. I still went and asked the manager even though I was 100% sure we didn't have a sushi bar in the store. At least the last time I asked.

  1. This peanut fiasco would have been a handy distraction if your store had an infestation of elephants!
