You Gotta Love Them Employees!

Here’s another hilarious TRUE story told by my sister. One day when she and my mom were at Staples, there was this guy named Dwain who worked there who was acting all depressed and bored. Another employee named John walks up to him and says, “I see you’re all down in the dumps, Dwainy boy. Go dump the garbage for me.” He said as he handed him a trashcan. “Here ya go, dumpy boy.” So Dwain walks out to the dumpster and throws out the garbage, trashcan and all! He walks back in and John says, “Since you’re so familiar with garbage, go throw out this can for me.” And he gave Dwain a coke can. So he throws it away, and when he comes back, John looks out at the dumpster and exclaims, “You threw out the whole trashcan?! You can go get it later, but just make sure you do it before the trash truck comes.” Then he walks away. My mom and sister left the store, but a little while after, my mom realized she forgot to get something there, so they went back to Staples, and Dwain was on his cell phone. This is the summary of how the phone conversation went; the story my sis heard Dwain telling his friend: He was really depressed, and then the Assistant Manager walks up to him. Dwain knew he was behind him, but he didn’t want him to know. So he acted all happy, and said to his customer in an overly-enthusiastic voice, “How may I help you? I’ll do anything for you, Ma’am.” The old lady says to him, “I just need you to check this out.” So he checked her item out really quick and she left. Then he turns around and says to the Assistant Manager, “I did not know you were behind me! It is such a surprise. Do you need anything, sir?” The Assistant Manager replies, “Two water bottles.” “Chip-chip!” Says Dwain happily. “Sure, I’ll take a bag of chips.” Says the Assistant Manager. “Chip-chip!” Says Dwain again. “I don’t need any more chips, thank you.” Assistant Manager says. “Chip-chip!” Says Dwain. “I DON’T.NEED.ANY.MORE.CHIPS!” Exclaims The Assistant Manager. “Tally-ho!” Says Dwain. “Oh yes, do all things on this list for me.” He says to Dwain as he hands him a list. So Dwain does all the things, then he finally remembers that he was supposed to get the trashcan out of the dumpster. But as he looked out the back window, he saw the garbage truck driving away! But just then he happened to spot a pickup truck driving away that had a trashcan in the back that said, “Staples” on it. “Oh no…” Dwain said. So he ran out to the parking lot, got in his truck, and started the engine, then turned his music up really loud and honked his horn. After he drives around like crazy, he stops his truck and walks up to the truck driver’s window. The driver rolls down his window… and it was the Manager!!! He says annoyedly to Dwain, “I’m taking the trashcan to be shined, Dwain! Now get back to work!” Dwain says to himself, “I see this is going to be another depressing 3hours of work.” I don’t know if what Dwain said was true, but it sure is funny!
