Back in 2022, I worked night shift at a grocery store in Florida, stocking frozen. One night, I noticed the walk-in freezer was at 20°F (should be 0). I go tell my manager — real hardass, always barking orders like he’s running a boot camp.

He cuts me off mid-sentence: “You’re not paid to think. Just stock the damn shelves.”

Cool.

Next morning? Whole seafood section’s trash. Shrimp, salmon, crab legs — all thawed and leaking. Store lost over $7,000.

Corporate shows up pissed. Manager tries to throw me under the bus.

“Why didn’t you report it??”

I just said, “Manager told me I’m not paid to think.”

They checked the cameras and audio — confirmed everything. Corporate backed me hard. Dave was “reassigned” (aka fired) a week later.

Never saw him again. I got moved to dairy lead a month after.
