A Boss from Hell
Need to blow off steam. Anyone ever have a boss from hell? I've got one right now that I'd like to SEND there! lol
It's hard to find a good job where I live. I am currently working in a small family owned restaurant. It's only part time so I am looking for work elsewhere. I need the job but yesterday I was so tempted to tell my boss to perform some physically impossible sex act on herself (if you get my drift) and walk out.
She is loud and obnoxious and calls people including staff and customers "fricker". "a-hole", etc. I just deal with her loudmouth ways. I'm not too sensitive anymore. I can take criticism when I make mistakes and I AM trying to learn the restaurant's routine, menu, etc. But she makes angry comments like threatening to kick my a@@ or break my fingers. I guess she's joking and I just brush it off. Her dad owns the place and he's a real sweetheart. Maybe he doesn't notice or care that his daughter is a mental case.
But yesterday! Oh boy!!! She often needs change, mostly ones and fives, and the waitresses turn in their tips. for bigger bills. I made a HUGE mistake when I started (in August) of not giving her a couple of fives. I told her I need my fives for my church envelopes. She tells me "go to the bank on your day off!!"
I stopped mentioning it because it seemed to annoy her and I just turn in most of my change. But she continually harps on it, to customers no less(!). If they put a five dollar tip on their credit card, they get the story. She'll give me five ones and tell me she won't give me a five.
She "threatens" me that she'll only pay me in one dollar bills. I laugh and tell her that it's no threat. I don't care. After work yesterday I went to several stores and spent the ones she gave me. No store had a problem with my little one dollar bills.
Does she think it hurts me? When she said it again yesterday she seemed a bit embarrassed when I laughed again and said that it wasn't a threat.
Yesterday when she asked for change it was early. I'd only had two tables and I had a five and five ones. I gave them to her. She went on and on and on to customers who were paying how I only "need one five for my church envelope". It's really none of her g#d d@mn business how much money I put in my church envelopes. She tells people that I have seperate envelopes in my purse for ones, fives, tens,etc. How does she know that? And is it her business? She's nuts!
She goes on and on about how she's NEVER had a waitress who didn't want to turn in her tip money for bigger bills. I should have told HER that I've worked in food service before and NEVER had a supervisor who laid claim to my tip money including telling me to bring back my ones and fives the next day since she might need them! Does she think I work as a hobby? My money gets spent on groceries and cat food!
Yesterday was the limit. Our exchange seemed over but she yelled out from the kitchen that if I was going to be a "bitch" then I can't take any more scraps for my pets! Customers waste a lot of toast and other food and I have a container to take scraps for my dog and I also feed the birds.
She told me again when I was leaving that I can't take scraps anymore! Is that petty and spiteful or what? I'm feeding animals, not making a meal for myself! I'm still going to take them next time I have work. She doesn't OWN the garbage! Maybe she'll fire me on the spot. Has anyone ever worked for a mental case?
Sorry, had to vent!
