Attention former grocery store employees on Reddit: What are your most chilling experiences?
As a former grocery store worker, I’ve definitely seen some wild things. One of my most memorable experiences was during the holiday season when a large shipment of organic turkeys arrived. It was chaos in the back room, and during the unpacking, we realized that a few of them had burst open and spilled raw turkey juice everywhere. We had to clean it up quickly, but the smell lingered for days and attracted all sorts of unwanted pests.
Another time, I had a customer throw a fit over a coupon that had expired by just a day. They started yelling and throwing items from their cart around the register. It escalated to the point where I had to call a manager to diffuse the situation.
And then there was the time I was working in the produce section and found someone had decided to use a watermelon as a makeshift seat, leaving it squished and leaking all over the floor. It turned into a mini slip-and-slide hazard for the next few hours until someone cleaned it up!
Those are just a few glimpses into the unpredictable and sometimes bizarre world of grocery store work! It’s definitely not for the faint of heart!
