So all the time when I tell people I work in a toy store, they say something along the lines of "O how fun, I bet you get to play with the toys all the time." But in reality it's not like that. Yes, we play with the toys sometimes, but not a lot. Working at Funfinity is not what many people would expect, so I'm going to tell you some things we've done that you probably never would have expected.
1. Helicopter rides from Jimmy (if you don't know what a helicopter ride is, ask Jimmy. I'm sure he'd be glad to show you)
2. Shoveling gravel (that was my first day. It's cold and wet and I'm in the back shoveling gravel).
3. Sending your bosses kids to time out.
4. Staying up until 2 in the morning shipping out packages
5. Telling people they can't return their half used chocolate bar.
6. Getting beat up by Lynn
7. Changing the diaper of your boss' kid (Never had to do that personally, but it happened more than once.)
8. Driving the giant delivery truck that you're pretty sure is going to fall apart any second.
9. Filling in window wells
10. Working in a warehouse during winter when it's colder inside than outside.
11. Jumping inside a dumpster to look for boxes.
12. Losing weight at Christmas time
13. Being told if you fall off the ladder, you're fired before you hit the ground.
14. Using a toilet jack that's got a strong enough tension to break your fingers if you lose control.
15. Moving two tons of chocolate and trying to stack them so they won't fall and kill someone.
16. Getting kicked in the chest by your boss (no, not an accident. Also not intentionally meant to hurt me, but still)
17. Getting paid in chocolate (only happened to one person, he was underage and just wanted to help out a little. Since they couldn't legally hire him yet they paid him with chocolate)
18. Realizing that you can't wear white t-shirts at work anymore because the boxes leave marks.
19. Hearing the sound of tape guns while you sleep.
20. Seriously considering moving to a country where they don't celebrate Christmas.
