The bridge between the Athletics and city of Oakland is on absolute FIRE.

The Oakland Athletics and Boston Red Sox squared off Tuesday, with the A’s getting thrashed in a 9-0 contest. Yeah, no shocker there, the Athletics suck. But there was something interesting found at the game.

While watching their really bad baseball team, Oakland fans found a team store sheet that you can confidently assume came from the hierarchies and was meant for employees selling merchandise.

Everything starts out good, kicking things off with a fun little factoid to take you into the ‘CUSTOMER SERVICE’ section.

“Engage with the customers. Direct them online if we do not have what they are looking for.” (RELATED: Phillies’ Ricardo Pinto Picks Up His First Career Save In One Of The Most Inconvenient Ways Possible)

It continues.

“KEEP EVERYTHING NEAT, CLEAN AND ORGANIZED.”

Nothing wrong there … but then things got interesting.

“I understand the fan base may be upset with the team but do what we can to make their experience with us a positive one!”

And that’s not even the most of it, just check this thing out:

It was already safe to say that the bridge between the Athletics and their fans was on fire with the Vegas announcement, but with this little piece of paper, I don’t think there’s any going back now. From where I’m looking, that bridge is about to collapse … if it hasn’t already.

And damn, how sloppy are the A’s for letting this get out to the public?

I mean, yeah, they probably have lazy employees like every other brand, but the point still stands.
