Long Day

Jul 15, 2007 10:01

It's 9:50am on a Sunday, and my ass is out of bed... can you believe it? I was at work last night, and my girl Brittany had gotten stiffed for about the first hour, hour-and-a-half in the best section of the store. She was pissed. She had gotten a comment card, saying she was the best waitress the party had had, and that they had a great time. They, too, stiffed her.

What was the deal?

Um... try shady co-workers! Next to Brittany was Melanie, who has a reputation for being a crass, thievin' skankrat anyway. So around 8:00, Brit and I went on break together. We counted our tips... I had $31, she had $8. Before we headed back on the clock, we went and played the crane machine, and while doing so, she spotted Melanie from inside, giving her the eye. Brit said to me, "I know she's not giving me a dirty look." As if on cue, Melanie came out and basically said the same thing back to Brittany.

After some hostile exchanges, Melanie stormed back inside and straight to our manager. Brittany followed, and they were both sent to his office. It's all very high school sounding, isn't it? Anyhow, the door was shut, and when she came out, Brittany was sent home. Apparently, she threatened to kick the poo out of Melanie, who, of course, denied stealing any of her money.

However, it is of interest to note that on Melanie's first day awhile ago, she was caught stealing tips, again, from Brittany. Anyhow, after Brittany left, Melanie was again called into the office, and shortly after, the door flew open and she yelled annoyedly, "See ya in three days!" and hauled ass out of the store.

This left me and the two other servers there to do all the closing work, and we didn't finish up until around eleven. Before leaving, my boss asked if I could work a double today. I asked when I'd get off, and he said, "Eight... or nine," which didn't really hit me until the morning during my wake-up pee that that meant working from open to close... are you joking? LoL At the time, I put disdain in my voice when posed the question. "I guess..." drawing out the "ue" from guess out in monotone.

It didn't matter, I agreed, and here were are. I showered and did laundry when I got home last night, so now I'm just waiting until I have to leave. Ho hum. I never really noticed it until very recently that high school is like a primer for life. How lame!

LoL

Cheers!
