[QUOTE="Jdvn1, post: 2322019, member: 26424"] I worked at as a waiter for a while... I don't know about retail stores, but managers [i]have[/i] to help everyone out in a restaurant. I liked to work longer shifts (ie, morning shift into the off-hour) to make extra money and one day we suddently got swamped. I asked the manager to get a glass of wine for me from the bar and she looks at me like I lost my mind. "A glass of the house red, please." "... You can't get it yourself?" "... No, that's why I asked you. I have about a dozen other things to do and you're sitting down, reading the news paper. May I please have some help?" She then throws a fit as she goes to the bar (I didn't care as long as I got what I needed), but she normally got sidetracked and took forever for simple tasks anyway. I talked with one of the other managers about her (she was the lowest manager of three, I was pretty good friends with the assistant GM who was right above her. "Charles, why is Veronica a bad manager." "... Huh?" "Veronica. She's a horrible manager." "... Oh, yeah, she is. That's because she doesn't care about the job." When people below you, people above you, and your peers think you're incompetent, it's a sign. Edit: By the way, you reminded me of a site I thought you may be interested in (not exactly the same, but deals with morons anyway): [url]http://www.customerssuck.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
