It’s A Very Bad Signs
(We have a new starter on the closing shift.)
Me: “[Starter], could you bring the signs inside, please?”
Starter: “Signs?”
Me: “Please. And just leave them by the door.”
Starter: “Inside?”
Me: “Yes…”
Starter: *looks around* “Like, inside the shop?”
Me: “Yes…”
Starter: “So, bring the signs…”
Me: “Inside the shop. Can you do that?”
Starter: *blank stare*
Me: “Can you, or should I ask someone else?”
Starter: “I can do it. So, inside the…”
Me: “Shop.”
(I patted him on the back and started closing out the registers. By the end of the shift, we were all ready to leave, but I noticed the signs were still out. Instead of arguing I just did it myself, while the starter stared at me in disbelief. I don’t know what was so amazing to him, but I couldn’t help but laugh.)
