For some folks, dropping a single cup or dish and breaking it would be enough justification to believe they are having a horrible day. Take that and add hundreds more dishes and cups; you might then begin to see how this person felt following this. The real query is, how could this have even occurred? How might this occur if it weren't an earthquake or a natural disaster?
Do you believe they all broke beyond repair or could they have salvaged any of the plates or cups or anything from this circumstances? Any owner of a restaurant or shop would find their heart sink from the scene, which is a real porcelain apocalypse. The sheer scope of the damage is astounding; fragments of formerly immaculate dishes and glasses abound on the floor like an odd, jagged carpet. One nearly hears the tremendous smash that must to have accompanied this disaster. Expecting a regular start to their day, the opening personnel entered an epic scale dream. Questions fly across the brain: Was the shelf structurally deficient? A midnight poltergeist driven by resentment at expensive diningware? Apart from the physical work involved, the cleansing process ahead presents challenging financial loss to the company as well. This event probably led to a careful examination of storage techniques and maybe some thought on more safe shelving choices. It serves as a sobering reminder of how rapidly things may go wrong and how one incident might affect the whole running of a day. Staff members for years to come will surely tell and retell the tale of "The Great Plate Disaster," which will become part of office lore.
