Overview
A manager monitored Daniel's workplace activities on store CCTV from home and relayed directives and feedback through a coworker regarding restocking drink methods, phone usage behind the till, and scratch card rules.
Daniel engaged in corner-cutting and unauthorized activities, including secretly eating food, taking snacks and an unpaid scratch card, recording work vlogs, improper sweeping, and placing dropped food back into packaging or muffins.
Daniel prepared for upcoming solo night shifts planned for next year due to coworker paternity leave and holiday travel, feeling confident in operational tasks but concerned about handling unruly and confrontational customers.
Daniel resolved PC hardware compatibility issues by replacing newly bought DDR4 RAM with DDR3 RAM after encountering a black screen, while assessing game performance in Battlefield 1 and comparing the costs and functions of PC gaming to console gaming.
Themes
Manager CCTV monitoring, phone rules, and stock retrieval instructions.
Workplace shortcuts, food handling incidents, and unauthorized activities.
Upcoming solo night shifts and managing difficult customers.
PC RAM compatibility, troubleshooting, and console versus PC comparisons.
Developments
The manager relayed instructions through a coworker for Daniel to memorize drink items instead of writing lists, leading Daniel to spend over an hour walking back and forth to the storeroom.
A coworker informed Daniel on a prior evening about the manager's CCTV monitoring of his phone usage and list-making.
An omelette slipped off a spatula into the sink and was placed back into a muffin.
Daniel bought and installed DDR4 RAM, saw a black screen upon booting, returned the item, and reordered DDR3 RAM.
Uncertainties & gaps
Whether the manager detected Daniel taking an unpaid scratch card, eating food outside camera view, filming vlogs, dropping the omelette, or sweeping improperly, and whether the CCTV records audio.
Whether the manager's monitoring was done solely to assess Daniel's readiness for solo night shifts.
Whether computer lag and stuttering during gaming and multitasking stem entirely from memory limitations.
