snob...continued (2)
some examples of my boss' analness/compulsiveness/assyness:
he's the king of passive/aggressiveness and the backhanded compliment:
=> last year after only working there a month he says to me "it is such a pleasure to be able to talk to someone half as intelligent as i am" um, thanks? dick
=> like i said before, if you'll eat your lunch in about 15 mnutes or less then you don't have to subtract it from your timecard. well one day the other girl didn't bring her lunch and asks if she can go buy something to eat (we were extremely slow, it would have caused no harm whatsoever for her to leave for 10 minutes and then eat). he tells her that he has leftover pizza in his fridge that he probably wouldn't eat anyway and he goes down to get it. He brings it up to her and it's a small pizza with about 4 slices left in it. She asks me if I want a piece and i decline, trying to be a good girl that only puts healthy things in her mouth. So she nukes two pieces, eats them. Asks again if i want a piece. no thank you. she nukes the other two (may have only been one more - not really paying attention becuase i didn't think it was important) So she eats and why the fuck can't i get the italics off!! ggrrr
ok i think i fixed it...
anyway...he comes back in and acts all exasperated and says "what happened to the pizza??!!" and other girl says, "i ate it...?" and he turns to me and says "did you get any?" and i said "no, but..." "wow! you ate all that pizza yourself? wow that was a lot of pizza. i didn't know you were going to eat ALL of it." and of course now she's turning a little pink in the cheeks and says, "i'm sorry i thought you said you weren't going to eat it, and i told you i was starving, i didn't eat dinner last night and didn't eat breakfast and didn't realize how hungry i was. i would have gone and bought my own food but you said not to leave that you had pizza." he does a little backpedaling, "haha just kidding" kinda crap. that happened about 2 months ago and not one weekend goes by that he doesn't say something about the pizza. you know "i'm just kidding."
=> a small problem may arise. and i will figure out how to fix it. and i mean small problem. and he'll ask about it. and i'll explain what i did. and he just looks so pleased and amazed and says "wow, i just had no idea you could be
that clever." yeah, me smart. me use both thumbs.
=> one day he wanted to show me how to clean the porta potties. he goes through the routine of cleaning one and goes through a lot of detail in cleaning them (i say hose the fuckers out and let them dry, screw getting down on my hands and knees and scrubbing and then squeeeeging ACK!) so after he cleans one i take the other supplies and start to clean the third one while he cleans the second. "What are you doing?" "i'm going to clean this one." "no, just watch me." i watched him clean all four. he paid me $12/hour to watch him clean them. and i have yet to ever clean one in the year and a half i've worked there.
=> money. where to start... we have to write in our time on our time cards when we come in and when we leave. easy. he insists that we write it correctly to the minute. for example, if we were 3 minutes late we need to write that: 8:03. or if we work 17 minutes over write that: 5:17. he considers it lying and offensive and fraudulent to show up 3 minutes late but put down 8:00. which is, you know, bad but certainly not capitol offenses. but get this. say he calculates your time card and it comes out to $396.56. He only gives the $396. he doesn't do change. not that i give a shit about the 56 cents but you'd think if he was going to be all ANAL about three minutes he would give you your 56 cents. the other thing about money is that he doesn't count the drawer down at the end of the day like normal cash businesses do. for example if you start with $100 change in the drawer (including coins), then after the day's receipts are totalled and you count the drawer back to $100, then the extra should equal the day's total. right? of course i'm right! well, he doesn't do that. he just counts out a certain number of 10's, 5's, and 1's and puts them back in the drawer, then takes all the big bills, chekcs and credit receipts and puts them in a banker's bag. doesn't count the change, doesn't check the money taken in compared to the totals. nothing. well, he has this thing where if you buy something but say you don't have the cash on you he'll take it out of your pay. so write it on your time card. and then he'll calculate your pay and subtract whatever items you bought. which i think is a pretty cool thing to do but after many weeks of doing this one day he says, well did you ring it into the cash register? and i said no (thinking, um no fucker you've never made me do it before why would i do it today?) and he said "well, now the drawer's going to come up short." so trying to keep the "wtf are you talking about?" look off my face i turned around and rang it in the drawer.
=> which brings me to another thing! INVENTORY! the guy has no clue what's coming in or out of that store. he NEVER checks inventory before he makes purchases. OR dates. i swear it makes me nuts how much shit he throws away that got old. and if he would just look at the sales and the inventory he would know how much to order. but he just orders and FILLS the coolers or whatever and so about every week or so i sadly toss a whole bunch of shit away.
