TL;DR at bottom of page
I'm pretty buddy-buddy with a lot of my co-workers in my department and nearby departments, but Saturday night they did something to me that genuinely sets a clear line between friends and co-workers.
Two guys, one guy in Consumables, one guy in the Meat Department, I was working in Frozen Dairy at this time, me and meat department guy were working on 1 o'clocks together and he was off at 2pm. After we finished 1 o'clocks around 1:45, we went back into the cooler and I discussed my plans for the rest of the night, dropping one or two smaller man cafs for Dairy cooler to make 5 o'clocks bearable since I'll be alone. He offered to drop one for me, and I said "No, don't, I'll drop them so I can set my own work load." and he goes "okay"
We were joking around, and lo' and behold, this fucking dick was messing with me and decided it would be funny to fuck up my night and drop a 250 task man caf for FREEZER. NOT DAIRY.
I looked at him and I said "are you serious?" and he said "Welp, have fun! I'm going on my last 15 and clocking out."
For some stupid reason, I decided to follow him onto his last 15, and he and Consumables guy met up and took their last 15's together. I sat down with them, I'm telling Consumables guy what Meat guy just did, and he says "Wow, yeah that's pretty douchy"
I was eating chicken from the deli, and Consumables guy was looking up Dairy man caf counts through the mydevice to see what I could drop. I set my chicken down on the table and instinctively he goes to steal some from my lunch and I take it away and he goes "TTGOz, don't test me!" and we're joking around ha ha ha so funny... he asks for a piece of chicken and I say "noooo this is mine!" and he says "okay" and drops a 200 DPCI man caf on me for Dairy. They did it to fuck up my night intentionally, they laughed while I sat there speechless.
at this point, I was just fucking D O N E. I get up, walk away, and end my fifteen minute break abruptly and promptly walkied for my LOD.
"Hey, LOD, where would I be able to meet you?" and he says "Oh I'm actually by the Dairy coolers" and I walk back. I tell him what the fuck these two pineapple heads just did to me. He was equally just as annoyed, and I explained to my closing LOD who happened to be the ETL-Food that night and to our mid LOD who was our ETL-Sales floor what happened and eyes were fucking rolling.
I had other shit to do that night, qmos bin was full in both the cooler and freezer, I had to shrink wrap empty milk crate palettes for the milk guy Monday, I had to scrape ice off of the freezer floor, and alongside all of that I had to keep milk and eggs filled and worry about 1 o'clocks and 5 o'clocks and worry about taking my half. I had zone to do that night, and ad takedown to do as well.
Apparently, there was nothing else we could do to get rid of these man cafs besides pull the batches and work them. I had a lot of support that night. the 250 DPCI freezer man caf got broken up into four separate batches and was about 90-109 tasks each.. making it in reality something like 430 DPCIs being pulled. I had 3000 eaches to pull.
So, that's what I spent my night doing. My ETL is going to sit down with them, and since I'm in development for leadership he suggests I also do the same at my own leisure. In reality, I'm not too pissed about the Dairy man caf since I did intend on doing one or two smaller ones that might have equaled the same amount of DPCIs, but my ETL-Sales floor pulled that and apparently it was about 212 tasks and there was 4 three-tiers and a full u-boat to work out. Our whole hardlines team had to come and help..
The actions these guys did Saturday literally affected the whole course of the whole store, and I'm gonna make sure they understand that if my ETL doesn't get that point across. I'm more upset at my Meat guy who dropped the freezer man caf, and he's gonna get the wrath of TTGOz next time I see him. I already talked to Consumables guy about it and he says he's sorry and that he didn't mean to drop the biggest one. Bullshit, you didn't hesitate and your finger clicked square on the Fill For Depth man caf, but he did apologize. I may let him slide for now.

TL;DR My co-workers dropped the biggest man cafs on me on a Saturday night closing shift as a joke to intentionally fuck my night up and I'm pissed.
