We've all done it. I'm young enough not to regret it. I worked at Safeway for crying out loud. Not sure where else to have posted this because the OOT forums are too quiet for my tastes.
I was late for the first time yesterday. No biggie, right? I hate being late, but I go in and start doing my job. The boss asks me to do something I can't do by myself. I tell them this. Apparently I'm wrong. Apparently I have no clue as to what I can and cannot do in a job I've worked in since February. Wow, I must really need training. As they walk away I hear a muttered comment about my being late. *fury*
I went back behind the counter and pulled my boss aside for a minute and it went down like this.
Me: Hey, if you have something to say about my being late then say it. I told you why I was late and apologised, if thats not good enough for you then too bad.
Boss: You need to watch your additude, you don't talk to me like that.
Me: This is Doug the angry guy you're talking to right now, not Doug your employee.
Boss: Get back to work.
So I go back to work and try to do my job. Naturally I'm volitile.
Coworker: So, what are you whining about?
Me: Wasn't whining.
Coworker: What are you whining about?
Me: Check your tone.
Coworker: What are you whining about? (wow i could almost see the smoke coming out of his ears to think up this sentence)
Me: Dude, you've got two seconds to get the fuck out of my face before I break it.
At this point the boss came back and broke it up. They took us into the back again and asked what the problem was. I told the boss and so did coworker.
Boss: If this is how you're going to be then I'd rather have no help than angry help.
Me: Fine, bye.
Just to mess with their heads I went and checked the schedule so they'd think I was coming in today. ***** Safeway. As I type this I am three hours late. I guess I should have told them I quit or something. I hope they have a pleasant lunch rush today! Oh wait...I'm the one whos supposed to be making sandwiches...and they were horribly understaffed to begin with...oh no, what have I done?! *evil laughter*
