Actual conversations this morning at work:
Manager: "_________ (last night's manager) is fired."
Me: "...why, exactly?"
Manager: "I gave her specific instructions to burn this place down after I left last night and IT IS STILL STANDING."
...
I had to add a page to my MOD report, there were so many incidents and rude people last night. I nearly quit, halfway though my shift. Honestly, I think the only thing that kept me there is the fact that I was robbed, and I need the money even more desperately than I did before.
Speaking of which, the police did get in contact with the person I suspect did it, but of course she denied it, and it was cash, and no one else was there, so that's the end of that.
I am still glad I tried, though. I don't feel entirely powerless.
Later:
Manager: "The group leader that checked in last night said you were very helpful, and that he was impressed that when 150 people walked into the lobby, you remained calm. I am too, actually."
Me: "It wasn't that I remained calm so much as....lost touch with reality."
Manager: "...I see."
Me: "Can it be clock out time now please?"
I must say, I do appreciate the rapport I have with this manager. He is pretty great.
