Re: My best one was.......
Oooh. Yeah. I've seen this too, but not by a disgruntled employee. Yikes!

My best one was.......
people painting murals on the walls of the (womens) bathroom stalls with their feces........I finally had an employee assigned to go into the bathroom after each visit.......it turned out to be another employee, perhaps she was angered over the rule requiring employees having to wash their hands after every visit and wanted to have the "need" to do so........

Having been in retail for 25 years, I still have not seen it all, I have seen the diaper, and variations of it on many occasions.

Re:
No worries! The entertainment value is worth far more now than it was at the time of the event! Glad you had a healthy laugh from it!

Re: EEEEEK! gross in the extreme!
Yes, we've had mystery shoppers, and they have not always been fair. Mystery shoppers play a huge part in my stress factor as a retail manager. I'm sure I can find some
fun things to say on the subject at some point.

But you're right! Every job has its seamy side.
As a retailer, I'd like you to write a little bit about your interaction with " Mystery Shoppers." Ever had 'em in? Was it fair?( just if you feel the urge to oblige me, though.)
