Okay!
About three weeks ago there was a HUGE buzz going on at work, and I could not walk past any coworker in the building without hearing about (for this story his name is) Gary the cart pusher. This got me curious, but I did not ask anyone what was going on. However, while I was on break, Gary came into the break room, and I got the story from him, and bits and pieces of the rest of the story later on from management.
Gary was collecting carts in the parking lot BETWEEN lanes where people park their cars, and NOT in the road itself. An obnoxious sucky customer was trying to take a parking lot shortcut by driving through a narrow space across the parking lot lanes where two spaces did not have cars. She saw Gary moving closer to the narrow space with some carts (with his back to her), and guess what she did? She tried to beat Gary by GUNNING IT! This god damn hillybilly lunatic was driving ACROSS parking lot lanes to save a few seconds, and decided to risk another human beings life to save at most 10 of those seconds. Well, this would not be a very good story if the "lady" did not clip Gary. Fortunately it was very cold during that week so Gary was wearing a very thick jacket which helped to absorb the blow, that and he is built like a linebacker. Garys back was to the evil bitch redneck who hit him, so he did not even see her coming. When he was hit, Gary did what most of us would have done, he let go with a few choice words.
Are you ready for this?
No, no. Are you sitting down?
Are you REALLY ready for this?
She came in and complained to management.
Fortunately, the parking lot cameras got everything, so Gary still has a job, but this EVIL BITCH, actually came in and complained because while she was driving recklessly through the parking lot without any reguards to human life she clipped someone who did not know she was there in an attempt to shave a few seconds off of her exit. The managers told Gary that they were siding with him, but asked him to appologise, and for whatever reason, he did. If it happened to me, I would have gone to the hardware department, bought a hammer, and given the floor a new coat of paint.
Seriuously, wtf is going on where people can hit people in the parking lot due to their own carelessness and then come in and complain? Does this evil spiteful bitch honeslty view herself as a victim?
I know managers are always trying to make difficult situations go away in an attempt to get customers to come back, but when something like this happens what is wrong with telling that ONE customer "please do not come back". They asked Gary to appologise? They should have called the police.
A few days ago I finally worked a shift when Gary was working. It was the first time since the incident happened where I saw him working. I had actually been wondering if they fired him for yelling at the customer who hit him with a car.
When did common sense become inverted?

Words fail me on this one. It sounds like Gary is okay, thank goodness! But were cops called? Seriously? My guess is Gary is younger and naive, since many veterans of retail would choose to be checked out by a doctor. Unless it was a very mild bump, you don't want to mess around with this.
That manager should be fired.
