Once upon a time I worked at Abominable’s Pizza (not the real name, of course). Every day I came into work the manager would say, “Elizabetcetera (not my real name either) you can take off your mask, it’s NOT Hallowe’en!”
I never knew what to say. I was just 17 years old at the time. He laughed heartily with his phlegmy guffaw, big walrus mustache while flashing his cigarette-smoke stained teeth. Ugh. 😦
Today I would have much more to say and nip this inappropriate comment in the bud. I would put the kibosh on it pronto. But alas, I was a wee lass and my verbal techniques were limited.
But wait, it gets worse, when I would stand next to him (not fun) while making a pizza (fun) he would talk about how he would sex up his wife like a dog-cow. This was so awful … he would talk about the doing it doggy style while he grabbed her udders. This was the worst. I just tried to focus on the pizza and this mid-40-something dude would go on and on. He thought he was so funny.
It gets better … every night while we closed he would polish off a pint of vodka and when he spiced it up he added in peppermint schnapps, all while smoking. I never cleaned a place so fast in my life to get out of there. THAT was the worst boss in my entire life and makes any other mediocre boss I’ve had look like awesome sauce.
So there you go … does YOUR boss look a little bit better now in comparison to this guy?
