New Maintenance Mascot
SO BASICALLY:
My coworker found this guy out in the parking lot, sitting on a bench, and apparently it’s policy to throw even stuff like him away?? Anyway we all grew too attached to him, even if he sat in garbage juice for a while, and my maintenance team lead took him and set him aside (stuffed him between the steps of one of the ladders seen in the background)(I wish I got a pic) and he’s been sitting there untouched for a few days now, and I take it other people are understanding the assignment that he’s here to stay.
I originally took this picture as a “haha how tragic it’s like he belongs there†because honestly I kinda hate minions but of course my TL was immediately like “no we can’t toss this guy in the garbage.â€
But yeah, switching to overnight maintenance over stocking was most definitely the change of pace I needed, and my TL is the absolute sweetest. We’re a small team yeah but we easily get everything done before opening, unlike how I was when stocking when it took me the entire shift to finish something because I was on my own. And to whoever told me a week ago or whatever on here that “nooo don’t do it it’s a trap†or something; why you gotta make it out to be worse than it is? Deadass it’s just mostly sweeping and mopping for me as that’s what I’m typically assigned to do, occasionally having to clean restrooms and take trash out.
Anyway sorry to ramble under a post originally about a pic of “haha minion in the trash where he belongs,†I’m actually kinda satisfied with how things are going for me; even if it’s Walmart. Perhaps I just needed to get some thoughts out.
