Finally, someone mouthed off to my boss today. I wish I’d had a tape recorder.
He’s a gold-plated asshole (see here andhere for backstory on this piece of work). Well, one of the stores hired a new girl on part-time. She’s the niece of one of the big bosses. This coupled with the fact that she hasn’t got a permanent position give her no fear. This chick’s got guts and a sharp tongue, and the great thing is she’s a nice person and knows how to talk down to the right people. I was semi-working with her today and she told me how she can’t stand my boss. “I’m gonna have some fun with him,” she whispered to me.
Sure enough, later on when there were lots of customers, she says loudly to him, “Hey, a couple of the other new girls told me they thought you were gay. Are you?” his response was a shocked look, strangled laugh and tomato face as the customers turned to look at him in slow motion. (he’s not gay, and goes to great lenghts to make it known) I just about ruptured something trying not to laugh. Then, a bit later, she casually remarks, “Hey, I used to respect you as a superior, but now that I know you’re a raging failure I don’t anymore.” I couldn’t hold back this time and nearly pissed myself laughing. All he could do is try to joke weakly. He’s too much of a pussy and an ass-kisser to try to dish shit back or fire the boss’s niece.
I told her later on that she was awesome. Finally, he’s getting some shit flung back at him!
