Critter Counter-Measures (or CCM for short)

Not pictured are 4 more carts of chips and bread, and the 2 floor managers, one of the senior cashiers, and another diary/grocery employee brought in to LITERALLY TAKE AISLE 1 APART to try to find The Critters because my boss is too cheap to buy an exterminator.

Work Stories: The Critters

So, at my workplace, we've had a, um, critter problem for a few months now. It started with Produce just having to put some of the grape tomatoes in the cooler for the night to everyone having to put all the extra bread in giant basins for the night and Produce having to put almost EVERYTHING in the walk-in cooler.

One my coworkers that has been there for a while, (10+ years i think) says that the critters have already won, but we're just delaying the inevitable, and one of my managers for my Produce closing shift has joked about staying all night long with an air rifle.

This is the same manager who had to make some DIY protection for the bread shelves because we don't own them apparently?

Anyways, I will provide updates on the critters, and I hope that this doesn't become a permanent thing.
