We were shown pictures of what the backrooms are suppose to look like. Painted warning/caution areas around the compactor and baler. Empty bins, bins with Waco boxes and nearly empty tops of bins.
 
Well they do look really nice in the picture, but I wonder how soon afterward was that backroom back to "Normal".
 
Our co-manager threw away the garbage cans that we (GM Directs) used during the day to throw trash in and what the unloaders use at night to throw trash in after sweeping out the trucks. I ask him why and he said, "They were not in the picture."
Now these pictures are hanging on the desk that has the GM computer/monitor on it and what I use to check boxes in. Well,  I looked at the picture and told him,"You're not in the picture, can I throw you away?!".
 
Hes an okay guy, but sometimes I wish I could smack him up the head with a baseball bat to knock some sense into him. He would ask me to get some pallets down or put some up and I am standing there checking in Directs freight and I tell him he has an ICS crew that can do that as I am busy.

What a great remark!                                                                                              It must be that because you're a man, the store mgr asks you to do things that anyone else can do.  At my store, our Directs folks are both women, and they never run any equipment back there. It could also be, that he asks you because you get things done--yet another shortcoming at W*M.
So where do people put their trash now?

We got the brown trash cans when we remodeled.  Finally they put some on the GM side of the store.  Before then, they were ONLY allowed on the grocery side.  I even have one next to my fishtanks.  I share it with HBA.

No, he didnt throw away all the trash cans. We have those brown ones all over the store,plus new ones outside by the cart rails.
 
The ones he threw away were old, but they did serve a purpose. He said we should walk to the compactor and throw our trash in....what?....you mean everytime I have a piece of trash go to the compactor?....I dont think so.
 
I use a trash bag to put in plastic (like the plastic used in boxes for shipping), but hardly no place to tie a bag close to my desk.
 
Anyway,I got another trash can now and will see how long it will stick around before it gets tossed.
