For my entire shift the manager of the store I work in has constantly lectured me about the boxes even though it is all I have been doing and have told her repeatedly that I am working as fast as I can. The boxes hold multiple large items which when you consider unpacking relocating and cutting up cardboard can take a while. She has also lectured me about being fined 5k from the fire department for leaving the fire walkway clear.
