The Tuna Invoice

[Intro] [MANAGER] Alright… explain this to me. Trucks arrive overnight… And in the morning they’re empty. But we don’t have a third shift. --- [Verse 1] [SUPERVISOR] Checked the schedule. Nobody assigned. Checked the forklifts. They’ve clearly been used. Pallets stacked neat Like professionals worked. --- [MANAGER] Forklift licenses? --- [SUPERVISOR] None issued for third shift. --- [Verse 2] [ACCOUNTING] There’s something else… Invoices arriving weekly. From a logistics company. Name listed here: “Forklift Yacht Club Logistics.” --- [MANAGER] Never heard of them. What are they billing us for? --- [ACCOUNTING] Unloading services. --- [MANAGER] And the payment terms? --- [ACCOUNTING] Canned tuna. --- [Chorus] [MANAGER] Canned tuna? [SUPERVISOR] Canned tuna?! [ACCOUNTING] Yes sir. Forty cases per week. [MANAGER] Why would a logistics company request tuna? --- [Bridge – Warehouse Cats Listening] [HIGH – FEMALE – BIANCA – whisper] Stay quiet. [LOW – FEMALE – CLAUDIA – whisper] Do not react. [LOW – MALE – BENNY – whisper] Accounting has discovered the invoice trail. --- [Verse 3] [SUPERVISOR] Here’s the strange part. Every truck arriving overnight Gets unloaded perfectly. No damage. No delays. Honestly… Best unloading we’ve ever had. --- [MANAGER] And nobody sees who does it? --- [SUPERVISOR] Just forklifts… In different places each morning. --- [Final Chorus] [MANAGER] So let me understand this. We don’t have a night shift. We don’t have licensed operators. But someone… Is unloading our trucks. And billing us… in tuna. --- [Quiet Aside] [HIGH – FEMALE – BIANCA – whisper] The contract remains valid. [LOW – FEMALE – CLAUDIA – whisper] Payment schedule maintained. [LOW – MALE – BENNY – whisper] Operations continue. --- [Outro] [MANAGER] …honestly? Just keep paying the tuna.
