It's been a while since I posted. Been extremely hot here, which wipes me out. I spent most of the weekend just lolling around resting, after the almost-65 hour week I put in, I was just spent. Now I have a little more time, so let's see what all went on.
Boss' parents got trucked out to California for a week or so, where apparently they behaved themselves. Their daughter is married to a very successful man in the computer industry, and they have a very nice house in San Jose. The folks are on their best behavior out there because their daughter and son in law have extremely nice "stuff" if you know what I mean. They absolutely do not bother that stuff. The worst thing that happened, and this made me laugh, was when grandpa tipped a whole jug of wine into the jacuzzi. He was trying to lift up the bottle to pour their son in law a glass, and lost his balance. Wine and grandpa all went into the jacuzzi.
So they get back Sunday and the first thing they do is set their apartment on fire. Yep, you read that right. They were burning some incense upstairs and the match wasn't put out altogether...fell off the table and onto the carpet....luckily both my bosses were there and dumped water on it, then took all the matches and lighters away. I mean this is getting out of hand. They just can't be trusted to stay alone and not do something dangerous.
Boss A is in Canada this week on his annual fishing excursion. This, after months of bitching that he can't afford to go because of gas prices and whatnot, he goes anyway. Leaves me the middle daughter to work with all week, and the first thing she does is piss off a long time customer. The woman had come in with an outfit she wanted cleaned and tailored, and she had the pants and sleeves pinned as to where she wanted them shortened. Easy peasy. Normally we would just give them to the seamstress, she shortens them, we clean them, and right back to the customer in a couple days's time.
Little Missy had never been presented with this situation before, although we had told her this happens quite often. She kept saying "I don't know what this is, what do you want done again?" to the customer, who finally got irritated and said "If you don't know what this is, go get someone who DOES!" I heard the raised voices and came to see, and quickly took care of her order. Little Missy, instead of watching and learning from what I was doing, opted to run her mouth, as so many teenagers do when they just can't take the fact that they did something wrong. Defensive, defensive, defensive.
"It's not my fault, I didn't know what this was, and she "(indicating customer) "was being really bitchy." o.O. You do NOT say that in front of a customer, even if that is how you feel. You smile, suck it up, and take care of it the best you can. Little Missy just stood there all agitated and her voice level got higher and higher.
"I don't know how to do this! It's not like I do this all the time!" Finally her uncle, my other boss, came up front, grabbed her arm, and literally dragged her to the back of the store. I heard him say to her "If you don't SHUT THE HELL UP in front of a customer and learn how to give good customer service, not only will you get FIRED but I will personally smack your ass till you can't sit down. And don't try to test me. I WILL DO IT."
She stood there and cried. Oh good Lord. Worse than useless. We ended up sending her home for the day. She has such a smart mouth. The first time she was with me to train, her dad told her to watch what I did and try to do the same thing. She watched me for a bit, then turned to her dad and said "Do I actually have to walk like that? Cos her ass is bigger than mine."
LAWL, y'all.
I am SO looking forward to my week of vacation. It can't come fast enough for me.
That about gets me up to speed. Oh yeah, I had some guy ask me out, but really...he came in about 2 minutes before closing last Friday, after I had already worked 60 hours, and wanted to know if he could pick me up after work to go to dinner? Whuh? After my work week, all I want is to go home, get a bubble bath, and relax. Asking me out at the last minute gets a big thumbs down.
He said he'd try again another time. Oh joy.
