At work today I was sat on a till and had been for the past four hours and my mind was being frazzled with boredom that wasn't being helped by the news that I would be continuing on the tills for a further two hours.
I grabbed my manager and asked if I could be given a different task for a little while just so I could be up and doing something that required using my brain! He said 'fine, no worries' and I was sent off to get some more wine from the stock room to fill up the racks as they were practically empty!
I went and got the wine and stacked the boxes in fives and wheeled them back downstairs, as I was walking to the front of the food hall I stopped to let someone past and the top box clipped the pillar by one of the tills and knocked the top three boxes onto the floor.
I heard the shatter and then saw the wine.
At first I thought it was just one bottle that had smashed but the wine kept coming and starting covering over three aisles!.
I used boxes to stop the flow and emptied the boxes that had fell to discover that I had in fact dropped FIVE bottles of wine!
A new store record.
I have never seen so much liquid in my life and spent the last two hours of my shift cleaning up after my spillage.
Next time, I shall stay on the tills in order to never receive the evil eyes from my manager again!
