Ok--just a thread for laughs. First of all--rules: No flaming/bashing of others (unless sarcastic of course ) lol So what are the most ridiculous moments at your work place that you've done? I'll share mine first---Well I just started a new job, worked my first 40 hr work week last week. Last friday I guess I gave some women her change AND the $50 she just gave me for some shit she bought. lol My manager talks to me on tuesday--and tells me that I gave the women $50 and her change (obviously I was just out of it/distracted) he wasn't pissed or anything. Yet it still was pretty ridiculous. I felt pretty bad about it (and still do), and now I'm hella paranoid about running the cash register after what happened. I'm now hella careful--and everytime we come up short on the register I always get hella paranoid and think that I did somthing wrong (like today we came up $22 short--but a lot of times to much money is put into one registar at the start of the day, and not the other, and as a result we are short in the one registe. Or sometimes one person runs two registers at the same time and puts to much money in one--I asked, and I guess this happens a lot). So ya--whats your most ridiculous moment you've done at work? Most ridiculous mistake, comment, action, anything. pz
i use to work at a restaraunt and the back was always wet.. and i was runnign for something and slipped and fell right in front of the managers office and the manager came out and laughed at me... or the time these people left cake on the table... it was in a package it was like from marsh or some shit... so i took it to the back and ate it with all the people back their.. not really bad, but funny we had this mexican in the back convinced apron was called a condom and i use to tell him every day, dont forget to wear your condom! i use to go blazed all the time to work and one time, we get free rolls, i walked in grabbed the rolls went in the back and started eating and talking, my manager told me to get to work.. so i left bussed a table, grabbed more rolls and went to the back and started eating again.. she told me to get back to work so i went out bussed another table and grabbed another thing of rolls and went to the back and ate them... gotta love the persistance my manager knew i came in blazed and offered to make me a pipe.... he said he sold his first car for a pound of weed... said it was shitty as fuck(his car)
working in a kitchen a couple months back, it was SOOOOO slow. we stocked a whole bunch of shit and saved the boxes. there were three of us working at the time. we spent 2 hours building a cardboard fort in the back of the kitchen, big enough for us all to hang out in hahaha, it was pretty funny. i never bothered going in it, but it was up to my shoulders and about 6 feet in diameter.
heh, sometimes you get the odd register worker who gives you more change than you gave him/her hehehe.. i love those people..
Haha, I went to the company Christmas party blazed as hell, and I was convinced that this girl (a coworker) stole the secret santa gift I got for my person so that she could use the blue bag that I put it in (she didn't have a bag to put her gift in when she got there). I scoured the place looking for my gift (a couple huge bags of M&Ms). Finally, my boss holds up a bright red gift bag full of huge rattling M&M bags and says "Is this it, Jeremy?" It was pretty embarassing. It also kinda pissed off that girl, because we had been hooking up for a couple weeks. She saw how blazed I was, and she kept fucking with me the whole night, accusing me loudly of staring at her ass (which I wasn't). Finally I just grabbed her ass with both hands, and she yelped, but she stopped fucking with me. Unfortunately my boss saw this and told us to calm down - she wasn't too happy about seeing that at the Christmas party, apparently. Also, when I was starting my job as a cashier, on the first day, my drawer came up $80 short. I had no idea what happened. I thought they would fire my ass for sure. But they didn't even write me up. I was pretty relieved.
that person would be me working stoned at mcdonalds...lmao my manager was like " YOU LOST 80$ AT YOUR REGISTER YESTERDAY" lmao i felt so stupid
naw, i mean simple things like buying a pop in a convenience store, giving them a toonie plus change, then ending up with a toonie plus a loonie plus change.. hehehe some Canadian lingo for y'all
I think every casheir has that story. At one place I worked, I was $100 short! But that money always turns up somewhere, be it a check that someone typed in as cash, or in another drawer, or in the magic-pixie land (aka your managers pocket). Either way youre good. I've used this to my advantage to steal small amounts of cash because I know my drawer is going to be fucked up anyway. My story is that yesterday I was toking up in my office's bathroom and it was a king sized joint... I reeked up the whole freakin' floor. They never did figure out it was me although I'm sure a lot of people suspect because I look like a stoner.
I got fired from a job because i missed my ride to work...i was in my shed smoking a blunt and i didnt want to put it out so I just said fuck it and smoked instead of working this isnt really a work related one, but me and my friend went to mcdonalds the other day and he ordered 2 double cheese burgers, a small fry, and a small coke. it came to $4.20 and when the girl at the register rang it up(she looked about 16)she said"Your total comes to...*giggle*$4.20"and everyone just looked at us. i was high as fuck and so was my friend and we were just crackin up
hehe, at tim hortons (canadian coffe shop) its 4.20 for a lemonade, and two bagels, one with cream cheese
used a digital video projector to project a porn music video to the tune of Mr. Bungles "The Girls of Porn" right before a whole troop of suits were coming in to check out powerpoint slideshows. It backfired...suits are pretty damn dirty and 5 were already sitting down while I was hooking the last of it all up as it played.
Ya accidently overchangeing a customer won't get you fired. I think that really the only ways of getting fired from a job is to either 1.) be really disrepectful of the other co workers and boss 2.) steal. Stealing is what my manager really was concered about he asked "did you know the person" e.t.c. becuase he wanted to make sure I wasn't just handing my friend money out of the cash register. lol!! It was a simple newbie mistake. I guess our cash register does run up short quite often, but since it was my fault last week--I immaditly assume its my fault agian. Yet it happens quite often-and the money is usually found like you guys have said--either in the other register, or the manager didn't put enough money in one register at the beggining of the day e.t.c.
yeah, alot of managers dont take their time countin the drawers at the end of the day.. they just rush threw it
no--not counting the registers at the end of the day. I mean at the beggining of the work day our assistant manager always puts $178 into each register (2 registers). Somtimes it turns out he may put the money that say was supposed to go into register #2 and it goes into register #1--as a result, register #2 would be that so much money short, and register #1 would come up as a posive difference (to much money in register #1). Or of course the standard mistake. We have this guy that loves to multitask at work, working both registers at the same time--and hell place money that was supposed to go into #1 into #2. And it was a really busy day that day as well. Esspecially in the morning before I showed up--so ya, a common mistake happened.
I love extra crispy bacon. I gotta a funny story, One of the many times I showed up to work blazed my buddy was working. He smokes with me almost 100% of the time. So as I walk in I have the biggest grin on my face, my buddy says you look soo ripped. My reply was, "dude, I'm so baked" Now this was some incrediable bud and I wanted to share the experiance with him. Now I'm trying to talk him into going out for a quick smoke, but he keeps turning it down, saying he just got here and the manager would hear us for sure. Anyways, I keep trying to talk him into it and I finally say "dude, no one is going to hear the smoke..." his reply, "Oh ya, good point. Lets go" lol, actually now that I read that it's not that funny. Although I found it extremly funny at the time.
Well it was my job to feed a cat for a week and I forgot... Jesus I felt so bad...I kept apologizing... They got rid of all the mice and vermin in their house that week though, and their cat didn't die.
the first liquor store I worked at I put out a tip jug. That wasnt a problem for the bosses as much as me assuming everyone wanted to tip me so I would just throw their change in the jar myself. some people would get their change out others would kind of look at me odd and be thrown back by my actions they would just back out of the store. this was all too funny to me, shocking the shoobies. I didnt know the bosses were watching on the camera that I was doing this. So I came into work and my boss pulls me aside immediatly and tells me hes been getting complaints and reviewed the videos-he totally called me out of reaching over the counter and taking peoples change away from them lol. it was fun while it lasted. I had enough money everynight to buy at least a few 40oz for me and my coworker
I know this thread is old as fuck but it came up in the 'related threads' and was really funny so I wanted to hear some new stories. And I'll add one of my own. Last summer I worked at Domino's as a delivery driver. Pretty sweet job, made about $12/hr with tips and I just blazed everytime I got into my car, so at least once an hour, and always on some good BC buds. So this one time I take like a $15 delivery to this house and this girl answers the door, she's cute but definitely young, like 15-16 (I was 18 at the time), and she hands me a $50 bill to pay for the order. Now, we're not supposed to carry more than $20 in case we get robbed, so I told her I didn't have change for her. After a minute of thinking it over (and me being really high and just like, uhhhh) she just hands me the $50, so I ended up getting like a $35 tip. Never told anybody at work either, cause I'm pretty sure they would have made me drive back to give her the change.
LMAO I'm listening to Mr. Bungle now....Goodbye Sober Day is playin but I have the entire discography including demos Probably most ridiculous moment was crawling under someone's house and finding a cat that died quite awhile ago, half of the body was "melted" into the ground, and there was a mouse corpse on it. I dunno if it was in the cat when it died, or died after munching on the dead cat, but it was pretty fuckin gross in any case. Just about grabbed a fucking wasp nest while running cable, I jumped off of my ladder like it was on fire One job I was up in the attic running cable, I was done and just about to get out when my foot slipped off of one of the 2x4s and my foot/leg went completely through the ceiling. Insulation poured all over their bedroom, it was a mess. The guy was totally cool though, I ended up transferring all my music from my ipod onto his computer cuz he was into rock and liked the random shit I had. Later he and his wife had some friends over for a little get together and they had me stay after the job was done and eat n drink with them. Pretty cool people Had a few times when I had to put a 30lb high def dish up on the edge of the roof of a 2 story house, one of those shitty new subdevelopments where the yard is literally 4 feet from house to fence. My 2 story ladder was damn near vertical, and I almost fell backwards when all the way up top. Had I not grabbed the roof/fascia, I'd have fallen back, over the fence, into the street behind them
