Her Sub Skills Are Sub-Standard
(My cousin is 11. Her dad is the manager of a sandwich shop for half a year. After school she goes to the shop to pick up a sandwich her dad leaves for her. New employees get told of this.)
Cousin: “Hi, are you new?”
New Employee: “Yes.”
Cousin: “I’m [Cousin] and my dad is [Manager]. He always leaves me a sandwich to pick up. Can I have it, please?”
New Employee: “Go away.”
Cousin: “Huh?”
New Employee: “You just want free food. Get out.”
Cousin: “My daddy didn’t tell you?”
Employee: “Hey! What are you doing? This is [Cousin]. She came for her sandwich her dad leaves for her. Why are you talking to her like that?”
New Employee: “How would I know who she is?”
Employee: “Really? [Manager] always lets us know about her when we’re hired.”
New Employee: “Well, I wasn’t told.”
Employee: “That’s odd. I’ll let him know. But that was still rude the way you talked to her.”
Cousin: “What happened, [Employee]? Can I have my sandwich?”
Employee: “Of course you can.”
(It turned out my uncle did tell this new employee; somehow she ‘forgot’ or completely ignored it. She was fired soon after for being rude to people in general.)
