People Are Fools So I had to open the store by myself today, we were also having a baby shower for a co-worker before work in the upstairs breakroom before the store opened. So I get there nice and early and turn the air conditioner on and turn on the music and the lights. I get the store situated and then I decide to head upstairs. The staff enters in the morning through the freight entrance. It's located in the back of the store, where we park. It is a very non-descript door. We've scared customers when leaving because they didn't know that there was a door. When the staff member arrives, they push a buzzer located next to the door. If they don't buzz, they don't get let it. There isn't a way to tell if anyone is hanging out by the door unless they buzz. Anyhoo, I know some people like to show up early and since I'll be upstairs at the baby shower, there won't be anyone to open the door and let them in. So, I take the baby shower invitation (which was printed on an 8.5" x 11" piece of baby themed paper and tape it over the buzzer. I'm thinking, "hey, that will get the early birds upstairs to enjoy the bagels and donuts and juice that we provided" and "hey, that will get the early birds to remember that people are UPSTAIRS and not in the receiving area this morning. I securely tape the invite over the buzzer and head on up. We had a lovely time at the shower and the mother-to-be got some really nice gifts. So, it is getting close to time to start work. So, we head on down the elevator to the staff entrance. The elevator doors open and there are seven people waiting by the door. "Where the hell have you been? It's hot outside," one rude co-worker tells me. I reply "First of all, don't ever speak to me like that. Second of all, over the buzzer is the invitation to the baby shower. That should have been a clue that everyone was upstairs. Couldn't any of you figure that one out?" "Oh....," the rude one replies, "I just saw something over the buzzer and I thought it was broken." "You didn't read the large piece of paper that was over the buzzer? Hmmm..." I look around. "Did any of you read the large piece of paper over the buzzer?" "Nope," another co-worker replied. "I saw <Bitchy Co-Worker> out here and I thought that she read the note." "Hmmmm....," I said, "So then two of you were out here and the other five just showed up and nobody bothered to figure out what the note said. Interesting." Then, I took the invitation off of the buzzer, unlocked the door, let the employees in and started our day. I work with a bunch of fucking geniuses. |
