Manager keeps leaving passive-aggressive notes about messy candy aisle, overworked grocery store employee secretly throws $1,000 of useless candy into trash and gets a raise: 'I was going to sort it all out for good'

Supermarkets are pretty much just organized chaos. I remember when I first moved out on my own, I'd have to call my mom when I was grocery shopping and ask what aisle certain products were located in because it seemed impossible to find anything. With thousands of products to manage, from fresh produce to seasonal candy, grocery store stockers must have to work around the clock to keep the shelves looking full and orderly. Shoppers might not think twice about grabbing that box of cereal, but behind the scenes, there's a constant hustle to make it all look effortless. And yes, we see you reaching to the back of the shelf for the newest expiration date. We do it too.
