 What's up everybody takedown here welcome back to the channel today I'm gonna be giving you guys a quick little story time of how I was almost crushed at work Yes, I almost died on the job now I have since quit my job and I explained that in depth in more videos On my channel here, and I quit my job to pursue my future So that is all you guys need to know in this video check out some of my other videos You guys will know more details of why I actually quit my job What happened leading up to it, but let's get into today's story time So I worked retail at Canadian Tire for five years this story happened around one and a half two years ago, maybe and At our location wet since we had not too much space to store stuff in our warehouse We resorted to transport trailers shipping containers most of the time it was for bulk stuff So skids of product that would come in we'd put it out there tool chests Exercise equipment treadmills stuff like that would go out in the trailers and containers and that's just how we did things So one night I know for sure this was at least during the week I know it wasn't the weekend because I was working till five and that only happened during the week at the time that was back when I was full-time by the way and It happened between the hours of four and five and I know that because at the time at four and five Is when we have the skeleton crew come in that's basically just One or two people in each department usually one maybe less sometimes you were asked to cover two departments And everybody else was be on lunch at the time So whoever's working evening was on lunch. So I was the only one there at the time And I was the only guy in the whole store that could lift There's another guy who's in his 50s. He's kind of scrawny and skinny But he wasn't actually supposed to be lifting or anything So I was technically the only guy there that could lift and do any heavy lifting stuff like that So a customer came in After four o'clock Actually, it was probably close to 4 30 because it didn't take too long after things happened And he wanted a treadmill So the treadmills were actually stored out in the containers like I just mentioned to you So that's where we basically had to go since I was the only guy there The other guy even though he wasn't supposed to be left doing anything with that He decided to come out give me assistance give me some help at least as much as he could And I would lift the majority of the weight now treadmills are really heavy like they're usually a two person lift or more depending on the treadmill itself But they're pretty heavy and they shouldn't be attempted by yourself But I had to do what I had to do I had to sell the product. So I had to make sure it was there He decided he was going to go get the keys because we had them locked up So he brought the keys we went out And when we went out We noticed The doors of the transport were buckled out now. These are old transports. We couldn't believe they're still standing Because they're literally wobbly and you have a lot of weight in them Like why would you put a lot of weight in them if they're old and that so one day they're going to collapse And it's going to be really funny, but As long as nobody's in it, it's going to be funny But when we went out the doors were buckled outwards now You know working retail or working around transports or anything the only way that they buckle outward is when product is pushed against them And we knew that something big and something bad was just about to happen But It's our job. We had to get the product for the customer. So we had to at least attempt it and risk I guess our livelihood to Get the product which is one thing that sucks about retail is at times you are Not always required, but you usually do stuff like this To please the customer to get them what they want So we were just we took the job extremely cautious. We didn't try To rush things and we just tried to do it the best we could and things took a turn for the worst and Let's just get to that part. So He decided we have well, we have wooden steps leading up to the transport so he decided to climb up and Unlock it and unlock the chain As soon as he unlocked the lock put the key in and unlocked it the chain kind of just Went out of it because it started to release So he had to jump down pretty quick. He was hit by the door He was a little bit beat up at the end of it But he had to jump down off these wooden steps pretty quick and I think he landed on the grass area And where I was standing on the step I had to move pretty quick. So I kind of booked it backwards now What happened next is something we weren't expecting. We're expecting one treadmill to pop out But actually seven or eight happens to all of a sudden from both sides. We don't even know how it happened at the time Both blew out and there's treadmills literally everywhere And exactly where I was standing was where all the treadmills landed. So if I didn't make it Uh, and I didn't decide to move back or if I couldn't move back at the time or if anything were elsewhere to happen I would have been likely dead. I would have likely been underneath these treadmills And that's kind of a scary thought but it's something it just happens and it just happens It was something we could do about it We managed to find the one the customer needed sold it got a tour and we were having to put all these treadmills back in it Now at our time and our at the time our adrenaline was through the freaking roof. It was maxed the hell out And the main reason for that is what just transpired what just happened. So our adrenaline was pumping Didn't know really what the hell was going on. So we put them all in there Didn't know why it was like this went inside talked to management management told them we were pissed told them that We almost died. We almost got hurt because we did they understood they decided they're going to talk to the warehouse crooks They were the last ones in there the next day and kind of see what the hell happened Turns out they put the the the treadmills in there exactly like that leaning up against the door Don't ask me how they got out of the door before they all tipped out But they did and they shut the door and they know they knew it was buckled outwards But they didn't care it was the end of their shift. They decided to go home Um where it looked like one was sold and then all of a sudden they tipped forward They actually just had them leaning upwards straight Of course They will tip. So when you put them in you're supposed to lean them to the back of the trailer and they just put them as straight so they all toppled over like dominoes And uh, that's extremely dangerous They were told not to do that again. They didn't really care. They're still employed there Which I don't even know how because in my opinion they're idiots. They're dangerous they're putting people's lives at risk at all times And uh, they didn't care so they pretty much said they didn't care and then management didn't really do anything about it They're like, well, we told them already. There's nothing we can do about it now, which they could have Um, so this is kind of the quick little story of how it's crushed on crushed at work. It wasn't my fault Uh, it was I guess people not knowing how to do their job, right? I guess that would be the actual reason And that is one thing that furiates me. It's like you can put people's lives at risk But you're not going to take responsibility when something happens Does not make sense to me does not even sit well with me like it's something that really pisses me off But I'm gonna leave this story here. I hope you guys did enjoy comment down below if something like this has happened to you at your work And I'll see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace
