Moments of Fail
As the company seems to be headed down the fast lane to extinction, I have opened this thread to share, laugh and cry about moments of epic fail from the company, middle management (DMs, local LP and HR), and store management.
For instance, in my first month, my old store was transitioning from franchise to corporate and in the resulting limbo until everything was "official", the store was being run "Lord of the Flies"-style. Everyone was convinced that they could "get rid of" the acting manager, a nice lady named Gale, that they could get her position. (Apparently, they didn't think it through, and that they'd have to end their "team effort" to get her out and compete against EACH OTHER.) Eventually, Blockbuster's HR was brought in, and they interviewed everyone---including me, who took Gale's side---and did nothing. Nothing at all. We were still in the same situation. Then when Gale complained, they fired GALE. Why? This is so embarrassing...she called HR, on the clock, while our incoming DM was in the store. For me, I might have at least waited until my shift was over. So, lay it all out here.

Well... this is a fail on my part.
I am well known to lock the keys in the back, and it's never on purpose, and I am largely made fun of because of it. So, whenever something remotely comes close to that, it's called "Pulling a Redfay" in my store...

Don't feel bad, red. I had a shift lead lock his keys in the office, which was up some stairs and enclosed in plexiglass, which was open at the top. He actually attempted to climb a ladder and go over the plexiglass to get his keys!
