While I’m all about not leaving a mess for others to deal with, I think that mothers shouldn’t be cleaning up after people who are old enough to have jobs. You wanna be part of the work force? Then you should be old enough to CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF, even if your mother DOES work here.
Hell, my daughter was here for Xmas for a vacation, and she was on crutches, having broken two bones in her ankle. She CLEANED UP AFTER HERSELF, even when I told her to keep off that foot. I did try to keep her seated, but I guess her instincts to just automatically clean stuff took over.
Maybe Fuckwit will call the store and ask them to squire his final paycheck in a taxi to him, like one applicant I had at my business. Honest to shnit, she called on the phone and because** she wanted the job so badly**; requested it shuttled in a cab to her pronto.
Yep, he showed up today for his money, looked a bit crestfallen. No stink, though.
And I spent about 2/3 of today still cleaning up the mess he left - not the physical mess, the under- and over-charging and foolish promises made to customers. I just hope it will be over soon.
That bit about listing the inventory as “black heels” cracks me up. It reminds me of a shoe store near the place I worked in Incheon back in 2005. The store was named in English:
I wonder if the fw worked there before he found your company.
ETA: Something just occurred to me. Isn’t record keeping for keys made kind of a big deal with the legal authorities? That might not bode well for the shop owner if so and if the fw hasn’t been keeping accurate records.
Locksmiths have to worry about that sort of thing, keeping track of stuff with keys and locks, but apparently we don’t. Mostly, we do housekeys.
Of course, we aren’t supposed to copy a key that says “do not duplicate” on it - which someone tried just yesterday. When I repeatedly said no she then offered me $50 to do it, at which point I figured there was something really wrong here and told her to get lost.
Do other people do that? I hope so… but I don’t know so.
True. However, the Boss who hired FuckWit I think has a new appreciation for the “scarlet letter” of dishonorable discharge… so far the financial damage is pushing towards the four digit range and he didn’t steal a penny. Refunds to fix problems, mis-cut keys, destroyed shop supplies, my time to sort all this out, other peoples’ time to sort this out… it’s not pretty.
It’s scary to think this boy once carried a gun. Even an unloaded one.
I’ve never had a problem getting “do not duplicate” keys copied. I tend to bend my keys (heavy doors, sticky locks and me in a hurry), and its easier to pay to have a new key made than to do the paperwork and groveling to get a new key from facilities.
If anyone had told me that they wouldn’t copy my key, I would have given them a deer in the headlights look. Or maybe a cow being confronted with a new gate look, I’m not sure. I wouldn’t have tried bribing anyone. I think you made the right call with that one.
QFT. The military doesn’t just toss someone out with a DD because they didn’t pass a uniform inspection. DD’s usually include some military prison time.
You do know that I love you bunches, right? So I hate to suggest that you might be mistaken…Actually, it would be Leavenworth. The brig is for minor infractions. Nobody gets a DD for sitting in the brig a couple of times.
DDs are saved for major offencises. As was mentioned upstream, DDs are felonies. Rape, Murder, Treason and even then they are handed out very carefully.
What peeves me is my roomie has been looking for a job for over a year now. sigh
Amazing how fast monetary damages can rack up without even stealing from the till, isn’t it?
[and you would be surprised to see how often marines off each other playing quick draw while on duty overnight and bored … In the safety incident reports mrAru used to get while he was still in the Navy had at least one marine shooting incident every few months, offhand I can think of at least 4 quick draw incidents in the last 5 or 6 years he was in. :eek::dubious:]
Yeah, I know. Well, the Boss says don’t duplicate “do not duplicate” keys. That, and I’m funny in that I follow directions.
Sometimes I have to send people with severely bent keys away - my machine can handle a slight bend, but it won’t make good copies from severely bent or broken keys. Rather than do the dissatisfaction song and dance I just send them to the local locksmith, about 5 blocks away.
I also get looks of amazement when someone hands me a card with “see ID” written on the back on the signature line and I actually >gasp< ask for ID! I also read signs, read instructions, follow the manual… odd, I know, but life seems to work better in general when I do that.
Well, we seem to have a position open now… although given your location and my location the commute might not be worth it.
Yep. This guy’s big schtick is that he’s not a liar and not a thief. Which is true. He is neither of those things (so far as we know). That doesn’t make him a wonderful employee or competent human being, as he has demonstrated. At this point, having him around costs more than paying the current staff overtime to cover the timeslots he was in.
That’s because technically, a “See ID” card should only be involved in one transaction at most. This is because you are required to verify identity and watch the customer sign the card right then and there before completing the transaction, otherwise you are violating Visa/Mastercard’s merchant agreement.
Actualy, he’s both a liar and a thief. In the first place, he lied by not disclosing his conviction (a court-martial conviction is still a federal court conviction) when applying for the job. In the second place, he’s been taking money for time worked when he has actually not been working, or even present, at the job.
I had a fuck-up employee once who lasted a week, then called in and quit. She never picked up her paycheck. I kept waiting for her to stop in and get it, but that never happened.
Eventually I used the $$ to buy food and liquor for an after work Friday celebration.
