Working without a shirt on - A surprising amount of comfort and freedom
24 replies, posted
So, as you may or may not know, I work at a Grocery store. Yesterday, I was pulled aside from the Meat/Seafood department to go over to the deli and help deal with the dinner rush, as fried chicken was on sale for a third of the normal price, and everybody seemed to want in before we ran out. As I was working there, packaging and preparing chickens, a co-worker bumped into me as I was pulling a tray out of the oven, and some hot chicken grease spilled onto my uniform.
It burned like holy hell.
Panicking, I pulled my uniform shirt off and threw it on the floor, But some of it already seeped through the shirt and onto the regular clothes I wear underneath. So I pulled that off too, ran over to the sink, and washed the grease off my chest with cold water. So now I'm a shirtless wet guy, standing behind the counter of a Deli, with around 20 people staring at me. I picked up my clothes and casually walked back over to the Seafood department to try and clean the clothes off a little bit, or at the very least cool them down.
I took a thick wet cloth that we use for cleaning metallic trays and tried to wipe the grease off of my still-warm clothes, but it only seemed to scrub it in deeper. Since I only had 45 minutes left before my shift was over, and my manager had already gone home, I decided to swallow my pride and just work the rest of the night not wearing anything above my waist, aside from the Uniform baseball cap to keep my hair from falling into any food.
For some reason, this was the best decision I made all week.
Here's something to keep in mind, though. I'm not exactly what you would call a Greek God, but I'm not a fat slob either. Here's a picture for reference:

Anyway, every single customer obviously wanted to know why this guy who was fetching their dinner for them wasn't wearing anything from the waste up aside from a hat. This led to me explaining my story 17 times (oh, I counted), and let me spark up conversations with many of my customers, which made the night far less boring than it would have been. The best part is a rathar cute girl came by, and she joked that she might try what i was doing at her job. :smug:
Also, the entire time I wasn't wearing a shirt, I felt so much lighter and less restrictive. It was literally like I lost 20 pounds, even though my shirts weighed a combined 3. This let me get things done alot faster, and I never once screwed something up at all. It was to the extent that I got my clean up done 10 minutes faster than usual which let me sit back and drink a coke while I waited for the clock to say 8:00.
So, whether you are Male of Female, try working without a shirt on when your boss isn't around. It really is a way to make your tedious workday more interesting.
I work with nothing on.
You're sorta hot...
working without shirt bonus: showcase hot abs
working without shirt con: you look like a redneck
What the fuck did I just read

Until someone complains and you get fired.
Idk i don't want the sweat from your arm pits dripping into my bag of chipped ham....
Thats unsanitary imo...
You should only work shirtless if you are a painter/roofer.
Isn't this against OH&S?

Well when your shirt is off your body is cooler a lot easier, and it may be easier to work around. Not so sanitary though.
That would be weird, it would get all cold and you would get hard nipples :byodood:

Okay fine
Yeah, only next time you spill boiling grease on yourself, it will burn your flesh instead of your clothes.
If I was an employer for anything food related and I found out one of my employees was working around customers without a shirt on his ass would be fired so damned quick. Half the time [i]customers[/i] aren't allowed in an establishment without a shirt, let alone an employee.
Why didn't you just go home if your manager was already gone

He'd get snitched on and fired anyway.
Making conversation about random shit even with your shirt on can make the day go a whole lot faster
Well I weld so I don't think I should do this
fast tan though
