You should do something really annoying and obnoxious on your way out. Can't think of anything funny that isn't cringey, unfortunately.
like turning every product in the store backward or building a wall out of toilet paper rolls in front of your managers office?
Yes, screw up the shelves so the customers have a hard time shopping. Then another overworked employee can straighten it out. Way to send a message!
It's better than pushing carts in 100 degree heat!
I'm with BagBoy on this one. Any courtesy clerk right now would rather sit for two hours in an air conditioned building sorting cans than be outside and risk being run over by asshats while being baked to crisp by Mother Nature.
Casually remove most shelf tags in the store, quickly. Then leave. Also be sure to rearrange the shelves as much as possible so they arent set to the planogram any more and wont know where it went without a lot of work.
Change shelf tags of most expensive wines with the cheapest. Customers will raise hell.
Hide raw fish behind slow moving items, like the international section's british items or something. Do this every few aisles so the smell envelopes the store. Top of refrigerated cases as well. The bagged 12oz fish do wonders for this and can work magic for months. Purchasing the product, and leaving it contained in the bag so as not to cause damage to the store, may get you off on any criminal charges.
Hide a phone under a desk in office, maybe route the phone cord through the back of a drawer, close it and lock it if possible. Put MP3 player and headphones next to headset spamming death metal songs on repeat at max volume. If its 2 desks facing each other, superglue them together so it is a horrible pain to get to the back and disconnect cord. superglue cord into wall. as well as glue the drawer itself shut.
superglue toilet seats. so obvious.
order many months of trays for the meat department. like 9 of everything, so it doesnt question you ordering 10+. it will be many pallets. Make sure to use someone else's gun login and use someone else's to log into ISP. You can also throw an assortment of things for other departments into the rarely reviewed frozen order if you can print the order guides out of ISP.
borrow comanagers keys to throw out trash, remove comanager master key from set. Throw in trash. Give remaining keys to someone else asking if they can return them to comanager. Leave. They need to change every significant lock.
there was a time when all the night stockers talked about walking out that particular night (huge truck and only 3 of us scheduled).. we were going to pull out and spot all grocery pallets and backstock and just leave
"3. Take off as many tags as possible on the aisles"
this wouldn't be as fun as it sounds, I usually take tags off on purpose and a lot of them just will not come off easily ... the frustration would quickly overtake any fun you might have gotten from it
I think I would just walk around the store and help customers all day. As soon as I was finished talking with one I would hustle over to another customer. AAA! All the while ignoring their repeated pages for me to come check. If a manager came up to me and said they would help the customer so I could go check, I would smile, say thank you, and immediately find another customer to help. ALL DAY LONG. Customer first.
