Resigned To Being Late

(I am transferred to a new store. It’s my first weekend supervising a shift on my own. I ring the store manager to find out where Coworker’s number is as she hasn’t turned up for her shift.)

Manager: “I don’t have her phone number on me. I’ll be home soon and will call her. My battery is about to go fl—” *disconnects*

(The coworker turns up at 9:30. At 10 the manager calls back.)

Manager “Did [Coworker] arrive?”

Me: “Yes, she got in at 9:30.”

Manager: “What was her excuse?”

Me: “That she was doing the washing and she knew we are always quiet on Saturday mornings so it didn’t matter that she was late.”

Manager: “That’s no excuse. I knew she would start doing this. She handed in her resignation last week. I can’t wait until she’s gone”.
