Recently, I was scanning packages in small sorts. This was a very heavy day, especially having several thousand packages for New York, Arizona, Washington, Oregon. The area where all these packages sometimes come down in high volume is in an area that is about 80 sq feet. That is where about 3 or 4 people have to scan all at once. The situation this creates is loading bags onto the belt. Being blocked in, I either have to hold the bags and later move them after getting one of the bag racks out of my way or simply toss them over the bag rack.
Last week, I opted to squeeze through the two bag racks in my way and accidentally tip over the bag rack. It bumped up onto the steel while the coworker was approaching. She was angered due to the possibility of that bag rack bumping into her.
Today, I had a bunch of light weight bags. So, I tossed them over the bag rack onto the belt. The coworker goes into hysteria saying that she could be hit by a bag. She went as far as saying that she may have to be escorted out of the building for a fight if she were to get hit by a bag.
I apologize and tried to appease by agreeing to have an open area which to move the bags. This would mean having to move one of the bag racks every time to load onto the belt. She's that concerned about safety and the whistle got blown. Problem solved? Right?
After the hearing her cussing, name calling, threatening to fight, etc, etc... The bags are now being loaded AFTER moving one of the racks out of the way, no exceptions...ever. Later she came over to scan packages to find her bag rack moved so the mail bags can be loaded by UPS protocol on handling large bags of mail.
She was not happy about having to wait for me to move the bags. The coworker decides to start throwing the bags onto the belt rather than dragging. This is were I get really beefed. I GET POPPED IN THE KNEE WITH A BAG OF MAIL!! I say to her "Girl, You've got to be really ****ting with me! After all the hysteria, you hit me!!!". The woman said, just get the "Explicit" bags out of my way! Other coworkers stared and a few snickered.
Another small problem sorted out in a small way in small sorts LOL!!
