CSST

I came into work ridiculously late today, and was waiting for my boss to fire me, when instead she said that there was a lot of cleaning to be done on the shelves, but that I was "exempt from cleaning" I was very surprised until she told me it was regarding the email I had sent the managers during my last shift. Long story short I do not have to clean because I suffered from severe truama, while Melissa is suffering from a broken collarbone.

This is the email I sent, and after reading it a second time I think I may have been a tad too aggressive...

Hi,

We had pretty slow day today, and unfortunately could not make our goal. Melissa kept track of the guest count, and from 5-7:45 there wer no guests in the store at all. One guest came in the store after 7:45 and it was the last guest of the day.

ALSO:
It was very traumatizing, and I have warned everyone before that we can't fill up the drawers because they get too heavy. Predictably enough, the ENTIRE body care section came crashing down on on Melissa, and I wasn't strong enough to help remove the wall-unit off of her. Thankful someone ran into the store, and helped me lift it off of her. In the process we lost: carribean therapy body scrub tester ( which exploded across the store), RM hand and body wash tester, 2 soap plates, boxes of both the refreshing and carribean therapy soaps got stained from the exploding scrub, and all the soap testers have dents in them from hitting the floor.

We attempted to put the unit back in place, however the drawers are still so full that when you open one, they both slide open. I strongly recommend that we get two people to empty the drawers (one person emptying, while the other is spotting). We have also noticed that there are holes in the wall-units that are meant to be used to drill the wall-unit to the wall. Perhaps we can get someone to come in and secure the unit onto the wall.

This had once happened to me years ago, and that is why I keep going around and emptying the drawers, and putting the heavy stuff in the back. I hope we can all continue doing the same thing, as well as NOT filling the the drawers to the brim. We have possibly avoided very dangerous accidents, and we are lucky that Melissa did not get severly injured in the process (she did however hurt herself from the impact of the wall unit crashing onto her neck/shoulder.) Let's try to avoid this in the future.
