24. The Big Talker Got Booted
I worked in a pub. Our manager left, and they gave our assistant manager a temporary promotion while deciding what to do. They recruited and sent us an assistant who had no input whatsoever. On his first shift, he told the staff to just take whatever crisps and snacks they wanted to eat, and he would “sort it”. He chilled out, standing at the end of the bar, drinking said juice and crisps for free.
Then, he would talk to customers about how he was going to whip the place into shape and sort out all the staff. He pretty much trash-talked the entire place. As it was a place that had many regulars, it really didn’t take any longer than a few hours for his trash talk to get back to everyone. He came in for his next shift and was promptly told not to bother coming back.
