Abraham Lincoln said, "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Recently Cartman got a promotion. (That's not saying much in this company. My last raise evaluation left me with a measley 11 cent increase per hour. Oh, boy!) The promotion for Cartman was exceptionally exciting, given he's only 21 years old. So a little bit of power sent Cartman into a frenzy.
Cartman called an employee to tell them they need to stand up straight at the registers and stop slouching. Later when a co-worker answered the phone with a, "hello?" Cartman snapped back, "When you answer the phones you need to say, "This is (your name), not just hello." All in a days work of bossing around, but that wasn't enough. Just one more for good measure.
Listen people, it's retail in December; it gets busy at my job. A new employee still hadn't taken her last 15 minute break of an 8 hour shift and she only had 30 minutes left until her shift was over. When she asked if she could take it Cartman told her that the last 15 minute break is optional for the company to give them if its busy. This poor girl came to me in tears. She was crying, saying she'd never been talked down to in such a way before. So, without getting too into details, I remedied the situation and got her the last break she was due. Just FYI, the bullshit Cartman was spouting off is actually illegal. A company can't actually deprive you of your breaks, know your rights people!
Cartman and I used to be friends until his promotion. Now I'm really hoping I get this LP job so I can get the hell away from him and his Nazi ways. He walked up to me and said something, I told him, "I don't care." [simple. yet to the point.] Later he said something to me and I clearly heard it. Clearly didn't respond. I gave a super cold shoulder. Never mess with a firecracker unless you're prepared for the burn.
