I was about to go to lunch, when my boss stopped me and said "Are you getting back from lunch?"
I told him I was just now going. So he very sternly said, "Where were you?"
I'm like, "I don't really, um...want to tell you." But he looked like he was mad about something, so I confessed. "I was...in the bathroom...taking care of business."
Turns out, I was in there, and the other guy in my department was in the backroom working the cardboard crusher (a very noisy machine).
So our department got paged for a price check, but neither of us heard it. He was working with a noisy machine, and I was in the bathroom. So after a while, the customer got angry and stomped out of the store without buying anything. Our manager seemed pretty mad about it.
But what could we do?
So neither of us got in trouble, but the bad part is I had to tell where I was.
Hate it when that happens. Been in that situation many times. Nothing to be embarrassed about though. I always just say "I was in the ladies room" and that ends the conversation right there. It happens. When nature calls, nature calls.
Are you working on a new freeptoon?
