This would go in Cursing Out Coworkers - but we still finished before the store opened (barely), and he's not in any real trouble over it at work.
Normally we're not allowed to leave the property during our break - but since we work overnight, we can't buy our lunch in the store. So one of us usually winds up running to the 24 hour Taco Bell, or to the 24 hour grocery store across the street.
This morning my coworker "Bob" told me he was going to do a food run and asked me to come back to let him back in in about 15 minutes (no keys to the door, so we have to let each other in). I told him to just call my cellphone, and he saved my number in his phone.
Well, 30 minutes go by and we're starting to wonder what happened. I get a text message saying "I just got pulled over ill be there soon". I mention this to the other overnight guy and jokingly say "I hope he doesn't give the cop any attitude".
15 more minutes go by.. "He must have given the cop some lip".
Finally, at 4:07 am (he left at 3:00 am) my phone rings, showing his number. I answer...
"Is this Bean?"
"Yes"
"This is Officer so and so with the police department. Bob's not going to be making it back to work today, he had a warrant. He wanted me to call you so you can clock him out."
I had to get the officer to get Bob's employee number so I could clock him out.
I told my other coworker "He must have given the cop some lip - the cops just called and said he's on his way to jail." "AW SHIT!"
I work with a bunch of degenerates - the majority of my department has been to jail at least once (I'm in the minority - never been arrested). So they were understanding, they just said they'd talk to him about clocking out if he's leaving the store whenever he gets out of jail. Hopefully he gets out today (doubtful since he doesn't have any money stashed away to post bail), we have a big truck tonight. If not, oh well, more OT for me. My boss jokingly said "Okay, any of you that have warrants, go take care of them as soon as you get out, I don't want anybody else going to jail."
