Archived Curios Question - Fights and Confrontations

[marcus903]

Just a curious question:

How are fights and confrontations handled at your store?

What do you do when a fight breaks out?

 

[STLinMaking]

fights and Confrontations usually result in termination for the one who initiated it. We recently fired three team members for a physical altercation over who was going to work in an aisle when unloading the truck! Stupidity never gets anyone anywhere....

 

[itvgeo]

Some go around the fighters in a circle. While some just run home. Oh, wait a minute. That's high school.

 

[Ask Alexandria]

Depends on the severity. Typically, the one who initiates the fight is on final warning, and if you hit back you're on CA. In my store, at least.

at my store there is a club where stuff like this is handled.

and the first rule is, we don't talk about it!

Do you, by any chance, have a second job as a soap salesman?

 

[insiteful1]

Sounds like those are fun stores to work in. You said fights....with an 's.' Does this happen often? It doesn't happen in our store and if it did, the instigator(s) would be termed and maybe that's why it doesn't happen.

Removed, as some people are oblivious.

 

[Crohl]

Do not do what static just posted. It won't mask anything.

Seriously dude don't be a douche. -karma

 

[StaticSun]

Sheesh, it was a joke!

Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

did you do the old starcraft or whatever game trick where you said something like "wow did you know you can post your store number and thebreakroom.org will block it out?"

I'm guessing so...and dammit, I was thinking about doing that too!

 

[TargetTeam]

Not that I think violence is the answer but I think it would be kinda cool to see a couple LODS get into it go LODS go! LOL

When I read the thread title, all I could envision was TMs hurling knick-knacks at each other.

[invictustaylor]

definately bring that up in your etl interview...that you asked thebreakroom.org for advice on how to handle the inevitable fights you will surely encounter.
