The title says it all
Truck comes at 6 am
Carton count 1458
Stockroom is a total mess
Get it clean, truck won’t wait.

Employees screaming "I need more hours"
DM screaming “I need hours cut"
Can't run this store on less than 280
They think I'm some kind of nut?

Get stock out, sales will go up
Then they'll raise the hour amount.
Another 80 hour work week, for me,
You see, I'm salary, my hours don't count.

Stuck on the register, the store is too busy.
Freight in the stock room, some out of date.
Employees doing the best they can.
Next weeks truck...Please let it be late

Keep store clean, make it shine.
Wipe down stalls, erase graffiti.
God, please let us win the sales contest,
And then send me to Tahiti!
