NaBarney Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Today was day two of produce department. I was putting out fresh tomatoes that had come in that day. Earlier I also put out these same fresh tomatoes. All the tomatoes were fine. A supervisor came over and told me to always cull out bad ones when stocking. I was like I know and I do, but all these tomatoes are fresh and fine. He then smiled and loomed closer to me and said in a conspiratorial way that I should always cull some even if they're all fine because it makes the customers who see me doing it think our food is fresher. I was instructed to throw away good food to trick customers into thinking the food left on the shelf is good, which it is anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Toulon Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Well, this thread went exactly how I expected. I know you're dangling the worm here but I gotta say, I don't have high hopes for the lulz this will generate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaBarney Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 You work at a shittu grocery store. Holy shit! Do you work for Kroger, too? Listen you piece of shit, I'm being completely serious when I say this to you. The only reason I haven't named where I work before now is because of the deep shame and embarrassment involved in knowing you work there too, that in at least one way I'm on your level. Today was my last day though, I'm cashing out. No more single digit dollars per hour, and no more stepping into that piss hole for anything other than groceries. Enjoy your 10% discount off Psst! brand frozen nuggets, though. I'm sure that "perk" will keep your wife from realizing her mistake for an extra few months.

I was gonna say I was joking about your working for Kroger because I didn't care. I just threw it out there because I wasn't being serious. But you know what? Fuck you. I hope you get evicted from your sorry ass menstrual blood-covered apartment. Because you are a fucking asshole. There were times when I was nice to you and you still treated me like I was "beneath you". Speaking of, your being on my level is hilarious! I've never cooked a mouse in my oven. I've never driven around with dirty clothes in my car with the windows rolled down for five days until they "smelled fresh". I've never drawn anything on my apartment walls using some girl's menstrual blood. (I mean seriously, dude. What the fuck?) Yet you think you're above me? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Oh, and one more thing: I'm about to graduate college and get a job working at a TV station! But hey, keep being "above me" even though I'm light years ahead of where you should probably be, you lazy asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenigundam Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 In my drunken state, I would have probably caused a scene and said, "So you're telling me to cull out perfectly good tomatoes just to make it look like I'm busy in front of customers and trick them into thinking that everything we put out is 100% fresh off the farm huh? What do you think people are stupid?! You think our customers are idiots who can be manipulated by some micromanaging dimwit?! HEY, LISTEN UP KROGER'S PRODUCE CUSTOMERS!!!

I guess the customer was buying one and the cashier noticed the green oranges in the bag and tried to exchange it for a good one, only to realize they were all really old and nasty. A whole island display for them and none of them were good. So the dude could have been checking for actual bad items that need to be thrown away, but decided to bother me about miming it instead.

RPM Jr. Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Fuck you for working at the same bottom rung job as me and in doing so making me feel even worse about this dark period in my life than I already do Luckily for me, I'm literally a few months away from moving on to bigger and better things. Hell, I could probably apply tomorrow to a TV station and get hired on next week! What's terribly sad about this whole situation is even though you constantly treat me like shit, I would still have sympathy for you because of what you're going through. I really would because a real man loves his enemies and prays for them to see the error of their ways and turn away from them. There's just one problem, Nabby-Nab. You've ridiculed me and pissed me off one time too many. So because of that, I honestly don't care what happens to you. You could die tomorrow and I wouldn't even give a fuck. Not a single one. Fuck you. Fuck your sorry ass attitude, fuck your "holier than thou" bullshit, fuck your "I'm a hipster and therefore more intelligent than you" bullshit, and lastly, fuck YOU! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPM Jr. Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 That's not very Christian. So let me get this straight. Nabby's constant derision of me: Okay. My finally snapping and telling him off: Not okay. Got it. /sarcasm. Actually, I do regret losing control and telling him off the way I did. Still, he caused me to snap and I felt I needed to tell him off. I was sick and tired of his constant prodding. Could I have done a more Christian job doing so? Yes, I could have.

For the record, I was asking if he worked at Kroger as a joke. I could've put any large grocery store chain. Kroger was the first that came to mind. I didn't expect him to actually say he worked there. I was not trying to set him off in any way whatsoever. He set me off when he brought my wife into it...again. I don't bring his girlfriend into things, do I? No. Have I ever done that? No. So why does he feel the need to do so with me regarding my wife?

NaBarney Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Maybe they shouldn't order so many vegetables if they think culling good tomatoes is a good idea. They don't even know what they have. The freezer/cooler room is such a mess there's no way to tell what's even in there. Guy training me said they just guess when ordering stuff because no way to know. Big pile, like four pallets stacked over my head full of rotting food that was culled for not being perfect but still 100% fine and edible, was supposed to be made clearance but they've been understaffed for so long that it just sits there and rots. I asked where the clearance produce section is and he said they don't have one anymore it all just rots, most they do now is slap discounted price stickers on some of the salad mixes when they're about to go bad.

There's a church literally in my backyard but they don't do free food. There's a ton of little churches near me, some might have shitty canned food or something like what I've been eating if you ask idk never asked but the ones that do free meals are a few miles away. I wouldn't do that though, don't *need* to.
