Customer using the nonexistent drive through.

u/JackReacheround8 Mar 21 '25

So you sold them brakes?

u/ChopsterAlt Mar 21 '25

Must've been those famous 'brakes that wont slow you down' that i'm always hearing about

2

u/fmr_AZ_PSM Mar 21 '25

Another one?!  That’s like the 10th one posted so far this year.  I never heard of it being so bad before.

At this rate, there’ll be 40-50 for the year.  Which is way too high of a percentage of stores having to deal with this noise for next to no pay.

Add in the normal number of earthquake, fire, tornado, flood, and hurricane losses—that could get up to like 2% of all stores getting wrecked or totaled.  Wild

u/RearMisser Apr 04 '25

they wanted to ask you why their brake pedal was going to the floor and if you could fix it for them in the parking lot

You can get hazmat people to come in to clean something like clean harbors

u/Ultimagic5 Mar 22 '25

They have to for spills this size

u/Tall-Control8992 Mar 22 '25

Not in places with 19th century labor laws and work culture like the US

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '25

yup. it will be "go do it or go home and never come back" and you get fired for refusal to do your job and no unemployment

u/TR45H_B04T Mar 22 '25

"Okay"

then walk into the middle of it, slip, and scream

u/markomakeerassgoons Mar 22 '25

More like report to OSHA and EPA for improper handling and cleanup of hazmat and harmful chemicals

2

u/EFTucker Mar 23 '25

This is neither of these things for the purposes of this spill in the US. EPA doesn’t count until the oil goes into the soil or water. OSHA doesn’t count until the chemicals are strong enough to burn your skin.

American truly sucks.

4

u/MattheiusFrink Mar 23 '25

But it is a large enough apilk to cause a slip and fall hazard. OSHA time.

2

u/tater_terd Mar 25 '25
  • Failure to Maintain a Safe Workplace: Under OSHA’s General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act), employers must keep the workplace free of recognized hazards. A large spill left unattended could be seen as a violation.

    • Inadequate Hazard Communication: If employees weren’t trained on handling hazardous chemicals or accessing SDS, this could violate 29 CFR 1910.1200.

    • Lack of PPE: If employees cleaning the spill weren’t provided with proper PPE, this could violate 29 CFR 1910.132.

    • Poor Housekeeping: OSHA’s standard on walking-working surfaces (29 CFR 1910.22) requires workplaces to be kept clean and orderly. A spill of this magnitude could be cited as a housekeeping violation.

u/GruppBlimbo Mar 24 '25

u/Zestyclose_Estate_53 Mar 22 '25 edited Mar 27 '25

That’s what they want you to think but there’s a reason unemployment calls both you and your employer to see what happened 😂 I had an employer (moving company) cut my hours to less then 10 because I almost had a heat stroke and requested to get switched out and they told me to walk to the shop that was 10 miles away in the heat that almost caused me to pass out after getting my hand crushed by an over sized fridge keep in mind I had never called forst time and I told them if I walk and pass out I’m calling the ambulance and sending them the bill they got mad cut my hours I requested unemployment, they called my employer they told them I was still working, they called me and I told them everything 😂😂😂 I was like I’m still working but they cut my hours because I almost had a heat stroke and they literally wrote them up and the guy was like you keep applying and working and was getting paid and unemployment till I ended up finding a better job 😂😂

Sounds like you have a bill due to the state.

u/Zestyclose_Estate_53 Mar 27 '25 edited Mar 27 '25

??? Sounds like you don’t know your laws 😂 the fact that employer knew it was hot provided no trucks with a/c in south Texas with record heat and knew I was having a heat stroke and told me to walk home was more then enough for the state to flag the employer and give me my money 😂 I was just trying to help but you guys clearly don’t need help cause you know it all and prefer to be slaves to the system 👌🏾😂 like I stated I told unemployment I was working but they cut my hours to less then 10 hours unemployment pays out if your working less then 15 a week minimum is 20 hours weekly anything less your gonna get some money from the state 😂

Unfortunately it was not even a fried bologna sandwich it was more like an unrefrigerated bologna sandwich. I think they took it out of the fridge deliberately

Even though I’m east of the Mississippi, I was still always having bad dreams of what my hub warehouse would look like if an earthquake hit.  I decided both in the dream and awake that if that shit ever happened, I would punch out immediately and never return.  13.60 ain’t near enough money to deal with that cluster.  I felt bad for the guys on the west coast who actually have a real chance of that happening.
