About the Evil Elecronics Department??!! What did he say??!!
No, it had nothing to do with them, sad-to-say.
The problem is with "safety hazards," a.k.a. "boxes that aren't stacked at least waste-high."
Thing is, in our store, we have what's called freight, which refers boxes to stuff that goes in our department that we stack on the edges of aisles, and gradually do it all as time goes by. Then we get a new truck coming in and get a whole bunch more. That's how we fill our shelves; we don't do overnight stocking (which works better).
Well, there's been a rash of accidents in other stores because of people tripping over boxes that aren't stacked high enough. We haven't had ANY at our store, but they're cracking down on us anyway.
And the thing is, they keep finding those boxes in our department, even though we're working hard to stack them high enough. They told us today that starting tomorrow, if they find ANY more not-high-enough stacks, we're going to start getting written up...and if it continues, heads just might roll.
