Demotions and Break-Ups... Another Night at S&S
Oh yeah….. I got Dave Allard demoted. Fuck yeah. You do not do not cross me. I will have your ass.
So yeah… today I replaced Dave… and he hung around for like half an hour just babbling to himself and then to Paul Kelly who had been there for the training…. I was just waiting for him to get the fuck off my front end. Then… as soon as h left I went straight up to Paul Dwyer and asked if I could talk to him about Dave Allard… I told him how horrified I was by bad at his job how Dave was and how miserable it was Sunday… and I told Paul I’d be glad to take all of the Sunday and Monday night CDH shifts to replace Dave Allard..… so yeah… Paul Dwyer put it in the system for next week. Fuck yeah. At the end of the night Paul Dwyer was talking to me about what he could do with Dave Allard…. debating making him just a porter… but afraid Dave would still fuck up that job. I declare total victory.
So yeah… to add to it… before I even got to punch in… Sam called me over to her register. This woman had tried to pay her order but her debit card had expired this month and she forgot to switch it with the new one. Well… she paid ten dollars of the order and then said she’d come back with the other card to pay for the rest…. well… Dave Allard just cancelled the whole order. He fricking cancelled the order. What the fuck…. who does that? Moreover… they didn’t take down the amount of the order or anything. So yeah… I got to fix it… had to just ring it up the old fashioned way of $15.89 grocery… which is what we think was the remaining amount and then the $10.00 grocery…. because I forgot she had never actually paid that in the system because Dave had cancelled it. Yeah… Fuck Dave Allard…. now he’s good and gone from being in charge of anything.
To add to the fun of tonight… I had two new trainees…. two friends from Moldova…. which is between Romania and Ukraine for those who are not geography nuts. One was out learning to ring and the other on the EBT. The one ringing was learning pretty good… training with Billy/Mohammed whom I dislike… and who left early and never checked in with me before leaving. Then she trained with Joel… and then with me/Sean. Lily was good. Her friend Nadia seems a little less sharp… like she’ll need more guidance… she only finished with her EBT with like 25 minutes left… so she just learned to bag and watched Lily a little.
And to cap off the night… I lost Sean for like 45 minutes. So…. he went on break… came back…. looked a little sick to his stomach and asked to go to the bathroom… I let him. He was gone for like twenty minutes before Allana came in looking all upset and asked where Sean was. I told her he was in the bathroom and she flew off in that direction. I was all…. WTF?! Was he sick… did he call his girlfriend to help him with something… then evil thoughts of a sexual nature… because anything he needed her help with… I could do much better.
But anyway… another 20 minutes pass and Allana comes out all crying and being walked out by an older woman…. probably her mother… and Sean comes around the other side of the registers. I asked if he was okay… and he said he was fine…. but he wasn’t sure if Allana was. He seemed a little pale… but was okay to work…. so yeah. I assume they broke up… and it was him breaking up with her…. but nothing is known for sure and I wasn’t going to press him on it.
So yeah… an interesting night to say the least. All’s well that end’s well… Dave Allard is demoted and Sean is available for my evil designs….. yeah. But yeah… I am so happy that I got rid of Dave….. it is an accomplishment I can be proud of… plus I get his hours.
