Message: [QUOTE="Patman, post: 224883, member: 16962"] When I was 17 and working at a local grocery store the manager prided himself on never being caught in a practical joke much less on April 1st! Well I had worked there since I was 13 and the owner of the store confirmed to me that he had never been nailed in the 20 years he'd worked for him. So we had a storage building across the street for all our paper products and soda and juice. On March 15th we had a spring on the door break and it flew through several stacks of glass bottled beverages causing them to fall over and take more out as well as tore up some stacks kleenex (yes this was a huge spring for a massive overhead metal door). So we have 3 guys clean this mess up for like 6 hours and get it restocked the next week, I'm talking filled to the rafters! Well doofus only got the broken spring replaced thinking he was saving the boss money. The funny part was I saw them repairing the door and asked the guy if he was replacing both springs and he said no. So after school I go to work, let a few hours pass then get most all the stocker and baggers to go over to the storage building and stand inside the door and wait then when it goes up to yell and point "Got ya'!". So I go running to find the manager and tell him "Hey Vince your gona' ****, I hit the opener for the door and heard a huge bang and stuff breaking over at the storage building!!!" So he goes running out and say's "Hand me the opener!" and I do. We're standing on the opposite side of the street and he hits the button and the door starts to move. He turns to me and says "Pat, your full of ****, man you had me scared there for a minute!" then you see this look come over his face and the crew yells "Got ya'!". I put my arm around his shoulder and said "Vince, happy April fools day." just as the store owner walked up and busted out laughing. Vince turns to me and says"You FIRED!" I smile and say "Maybe tomorrow." the owner says "He's not fired he's got a job for life!". [/QUOTE]
