The Lighter Side of Retail

When food we’re selling goes out of date, we demic it and usually eat it ourselves. We only sell chocolate and sweets like Haribo so it’s not going to do us any harm, but recently the warehouse staff have been hoarding all the demic chocolate for themselves. A few weeks ago about 5 bags of those little Smartie boxes were written off and the warehouse managed to work their way through 3 bags before we got to them.
But instead of just eating them, we took the opportunity to mess with the warehouse staff for being so greedy. A colleague and I emptied all the Smarties into a lunchbox, folded all the boxes back up again and put them back like nothing had happened. Then I went and hid the Smarties somewhere so we could eat them at our leisure. The warehouse staff didn’t say anything about it to us but they eventually tracked down the lunchbox and scoffed the lot!
Not funny.
So, today we found two carrier bags of Mint Aero Bubbles and chocolate bars hidden in their desk. We (the same colleague and I) ate a packet of Bubbles, taped it to a piece of paper and wrote “Thanks! They were delicious. Bye losers!” and pinned it to their desk. We were planning to hide the bags in a much better hiding place than last time but before we could, the manager caught us.
“What you doin’?!”
“Just hiding something.”
“What it is?”
“Chocolate.”
“Whose is it?”
“It’s from the warehouse.”
“Give it here.”
And then he stamps on it...a lot.
“Here, give it to them now.”
I was wetting myself. I don’t really like mint chocolate so I wasn’t sorry to see it get crushed. We went back and hid it on the seat of their fork lift so they might even end up sitting on it as well, lol.
Ahhh, I had fun today.
