We had an assistant manager that didn't have common sense. All defective merchandise normally was smashed or cut to prevent dumpster divers for many reasons. I had stopped him from killing himself on a couple occasions. The one this picture reminds me of was this. He decided he would destroy some of the defectives while our receiving people that normally did it were unloading a couple thousand boxes from the store warehouse delivery. I stopped him on the up swing of our wood splitting maul, before he started swinging down on a fully charged fire extinguisher. The last thing he almost did was something that had already killed an employee's husband a couple years before, and that won't get mentioned.
