When Average Workdays Take a Turn For the Weird

Rotate the Eggs

While working at a supermarket, I was walking through the dairy department and saw a fellow employee over by the eggs. As I got closer I could see him with a carton open and he seemed to be turning each egg.

After doing the whole pack, I asked him what he was doing and he responded, “the manager asked me to rotate the eggs.” I facepalmed and explained what they actually meant, to which he replied, “that makes a lot more sense.”

For context, in the grocery world, to rotate means to make sure the earliest dates of expiration are towards the front of the shelf. Story credit: Reddit / Greystreet21
