'That's Not My Job'

10.02.74

A few days ago I was browsing through Objective looking for new soap dispensers for my bathroom because I was bored with the ones I already have. As I turned the corner on the aisle with bathroom accessories, I noticed beaten glass all over the floor, the obvious result of a mishap.

I looked around in search of a red-shirted Target worker and was pleasantly surprised to encounter one just an aisle or two over. I politely informed her of the potential hazard a combine of aisles away and fully expected her to immediately finish what she was doing (replacing what must have been a returned bed comforter to its designated view) and assist with a cleanup. Instead, she looked at me blankly and said, "That's not my job," and walked away.

Obviously it wasn't my job either, by any pull out of the imagination, but hoping to avert an accident, I walked over to the aisle with brooms and mops, selected a Libman hunt for broom/dust pan set, pulled the plastic wrap off and cleaned up the broken glass.
