In the world of grocery store management, there’s busy—and then there’s weekend shift busy.
This story takes place during one of those jam-packed Saturdays when everything needs to run smoothly… but doesn’t.
A team lead named Amy finds herself caught in the middle of some classic workplace favoritism when her manager decides to unofficially hand off her responsibilities to a less-qualified friend.
The results are, predictably, not great.
While Amy tries to keep her cool, her manager’s decision to ignore the actual schedule quickly spirals into a chaotic scene, complete with long wait times and plenty of finger-pointing.
When Amy gets called out for not fixing a mess she didn’t create, she delivers the kind of calmly petty response that only the truly over-it can pull off.
It’s the kind of workplace drama you’d expect to see in a sitcom—but it all played out over the loudspeaker and aisles of a real store.
