That_One_Guy Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 So today at work we had an electrical issue in the backroom. This fucking idiot proceeded to go into the electric cage and flip a bunch of switches in the breaker and it shut down every register in the store.....during a fucking swarm of customers. Anyone know wtf happened? Did he blow a circuit or some shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't tell from the information provided, but if he fubar'd the registers and they were tied into the inventory system, he'd be cleaning toilets & doing customer carry-outs the rest of the day. It was never fun trying to close the systems down after a power outage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we are suffering from some misnomers here.....This is exactly the problem, and honestly, a full shut down may have been needed....But there is usually a single switch for a mass shut off and a reroute for power before you even touch it...Was dude with an electrical team, or just some dude that worked at the store.

We lost a fuck ton of money because hundreds of customers just abandoned their carts with raw meat in them. We threw away thousands of dollars worth of raw meat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he was in no way an electrician. He noticed a power issue and took it upon himself to go in the cages which he knows he isn't supposed to do.

resurrected Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The store manager would have needed to call in to corporate and let them know of the situation, and would be advised by corporate to contact an outside contractor to come in and handle the issue. It would have been expedited. Worse case, and no one could come out in time, a breaker for the loading dock could have been flipped. No harm would have come to any other area.

Thing is he could have manually used it still. It doesn't need electricity to work it just makes it easier.

My store manager wasn't there so the store lead had to call home office and they fucking sucked. They wanted us to run a fucking extension cord to the registers......legit they wanted us to violate osha. That was their solution. They couldn't get anyone out to look at the issue until 7pm keep in mind the issue occured around 2. My shift ended at 5 tho lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My shift ended at 5 tho lol What should have happened - Corporate should have said, turn off all the registers on the circuit, turn the breaker back on and one-by-one turn on each register, maybe at 5 minute intervals. You wouldn't want to hit the registers with a spike by just turning on the breaker(s). Then you'd have to sit back & wait for each register to reload. Hopefully, no data was lost - otherwise you might have tills out-of-balance, which in turn could mean you'd have to step between the idiot that threw the switch and whoever was working the cash office. The whole thing is giving me flashbacks of much ugliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver should have just pulled off the dock and manually loaded off the tail gate to the side door. I assume it was the driver that did this.
