Put the Boxes on the Shelf

Back to the "Duh" boy again. (He's the one who needed help cleaning the shelves.) I have a feeling that he'll be providing lots of stories for me!

We were getting ready to close and he had "finished" all of his closing duties. Really? I walked him around the store and pointed out some things that still needed to be done. Later I pulled a couple of boxes off the top shelf that needed to be opened and the items stocked on the shelf. I simply set them on the floor (as I had other things to finish and it was the boy's job to do it anyway), then told the boy that there were some boxes in aisle 4 that needed to be put on the shelf before he left.

After everyone was gone and I was making a walk-through to make sure everything was ready for the next day, I walked down that aisle and saw that the boy had done, literally, what I said—he put the boxes back on the shelf—the top shelf where I had pulled the boxes down from!! The lower shelves where the product should have been stocked remained conspicuously empty, but the boxes were on the shelf!
