I used to work at a grocery store in the past My supervisor got obsessed with the parking lot carts being perfectly aligned. He told us, You don’t clock out until every single cart is straight, touching, and facing the same direction. It was a windy night. Every time we fixed one row, another shifted slightly. He kept saying, Do it again.

At 10:45 p.m., we were still out there. Finally, I pulled out my phone and recorded him telling us not to clock out. Sent it to HR. Next morning, HR said we should use our best judgment in windy conditions.

We aligned the first five carts perfectly and went home.
