the saga continued

tuesday morning

citgo drama oh my. well, that job lasted all of 4 hrs. could of been great ..
worked with the only morning girl, jeanette, my age-ish and real sweet.
she was showing me her routine, the cooking area set up, up - keep blah, blah ... all was moving along - until the manager "ted" walked in ..
guess he was in a pissy mood and when a customer called acting the typical - indignant attitude down on him [i see alot of that lately in the public around here] and me being the new girl?
i got laid into .. i listened and asked him "if i did forget to give a lady her change of .72c .. hey, wouldn't the till show it?"
that didn't sit well with him and he kept up his tirade, while the customer was on the phone .. bet her ear stung, along with ours.
after he walked back to his area, i waited a minute got myself all ticked off and nervous, headed back and told him, "not even my kids talk to me that way, i won't allow you to. possibly you do not know how to communicate without yelling. thanks for the opportunity .. don't bother to pay me. goodbye."
shook his hand [wanted to spit on it] and left.

jeanette said 'she thought it was a 'cultural' behavior as these guys are korean' i say, no matter what culture your from, if you had gone to 'vanderbilt university' and spent enough time there to get an m.a. in electrical engineering ..
you have some people management skills thrown in there. guess not.
oh bother .. he's called twice now.
he wants to pay me [i didn't even have time to fill out the paper work] apologize and explain his stressors. he wants to talk to me? like i care about your stressors .. come on.?
so -- off to job hunt again. sigh and i would of loved the job too ..
jeanette and i exchanged phone numbers so that was good.

tuesday mid-morning

aha - jeanette just called.. after i left, he asked her if she was offended and she told him "yes, both of us were. you made it sound as if we were trying to cheat the lady" and i thought she had to much sheep in her. hence his call to me .. neato ~ neato .. maybe there are some all-right ladies in this backwards part of the biblebelt .. i figured by her behavior she was cow-towed. not so .. way to go jeanette
