I have a couple from the a warehouse job I worked at when I was 16. That place was wild lmao

Fired from unplugging security cameras to charge his phone
30yo man harassing a 17yo girl
That man's wife fighting the 17yo girl for "flirting" with her husband even though she wasn't
Got on top of some shelves and took a nap. These shelves are really tall and you need a lift to get on top of them

These weren't on their first day, but I thought they are worth mentioning

Racing during lunch in the parking lot
10+ person brawl in the parking lot over a guy stealing another guy's girlfriend
A guy left his keys in his car so another guy just broke the window. He said he thought it was funny and that he got the bit from a movie, tv, or comedian or something
A couple people got caught taking lunch on top of the shelves in a corner because the lunchroom was too loud. They also had a bed up there made up bubble wrap and yoga mats
Going full speed into a door with a forklift while the forks were fully lifted
Doing BMX tricks off the truck dock. I think people were riding skateboards off it too but I can't remember 100%

That's all the entertaining ones I can think of right now lol

There was some TV show in the 2000s that was a workplace drama / comedy set in a warehouse (or like a Costco?) and I remember something about two characters making like a hide-out at the top of some shelves. Does anyone remember the name of that show?

This is a subplot in The Office.

I don't know anything from the early century but there's Superstore from 2015 which had a lot of stuff on that level.
