Coworkers Call Cat’s Unorthodox Filing System Into Question
Colleagues at the Price-Rite supermarket where Lola the cat is an assistant manager are questioning the cat’s rather unusual filing system. Problems started to arise when Lola when on vacation a two weeks ago and coworkers had trouble figuring out where important documents and invoices pertaining to certain distributors were found.
“It was madness,” said Dwayne Spellman, another assistant manager who covered for a couple of Lola’s shifts while she was out. “Okay, for example, she had our tuna distributors under ’D’ for ‘delicious,’ and the company we get grapefruits from was under ‘I’ for ‘icky.’ In what world does that make sense?”
Lola could not be reached for comment but store manager Sally Vogelsong offered a lukewarm defense.
“Look, are we going to have to update all the files? Yes, and it’s going to cost us,” she said, “but we never had any problems with Lola’s system until she went on vacation.”
