The GOAT of Stocking A man on a mission. They called me the Greatest of All Time, the king of stocking, the sultan of shelves. My domain was stocking, and I ruled it with an iron fist...or rather, a swift pull of packing tape. I approached the pumpkin bin, triple-stacked and packed to the brim with cardboard. With a flourish, I ripped back the tape, breaking down the cardboard with ease. The boxes crumpled, surrendering to my might. I tossed the cardboard into the pumpkin bed like a frisbee, the sound of crunching gourds music to my ears. As I worked, I chanted in Russian, my beatboxing skills on full display: "Everywhere I go, spotting is how I roll!" I was the Guardian, untouchable and unstoppable. No one could touch my frozen or paper chemicals; I was the master of my domain. I slid across the floor, my shoes gliding like ice skates. The Tasmanian Devil, they called me. I was a whirlwind of efficiency, a legend in my own right. But I didn't get here alone. I learned from the best:Tony, Paul, the who could stock a store in his sleep; Steve, the Target titan who could put an entire store on the ground; and the Kroger crew, Tiffany & James who smoked boxes in plastic like it was their job. But the ones who truly inspired me were the Spanish legends. They taught me the art of stocking, the finesse of breaking down cardboard. And when I wasn't stocking, I was learning martial arts from Master Merry Etuh. Hoshindo Kung Fu, Jujitsu, Onk Bok – I knew them all. I even learned to say, "Fuck the system, money is an IOU to the Federal Reserve." None of it was real, just a game to stay motivated, to stay in shape. Bruce Lee was my workout guru, and I'd been training since 8th grade. But now, my inspiration was California, a C8, a C7, tons of money, retired through computer programming. I'd learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, graphic design – the works. But life had other plans. A faulty laptop had intially set me back, yet I persevered it, using my skills. The truth was simple: food, water, shelter – that's all we needed. Life was short, only 41 years left to live, and I wasn't going to waste it. I'd have fun, stay young, and make my own way. I'd write a book, make music, create a TikTok empire. I'd be an extra in a movie, do my own independent film it would be the real masterpiece. For now, I'd keep moving, making money on my own terms. I was my own boss, my own legend. And that's the story of the G.O.A.T. of Stocking.
