He should have been fired when they found out he lied about his experience, instead he was transferred inside with us, he was unable to keep his mouth shut, if he wasn't talking, he was making noises, all the time, didn't matter if you were in a meeting, with a customer, on the phone, there was this constant 'noise' coming from his office.<BR/><BR/>It was a happy and quiet day when he was fired, all of us downstairs couldn't believe how quiet it was with him gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23451718.post-38667601071044583732007-04-20T22:12:00.000-07:002007-04-20T22:12:00.000-07:00I once worked at a restaurant that had it's own ve...I once worked at a restaurant that had it's own version of "Amorous"...after months of dealing with all her personal drama, a couple of my co-workers told the manager that she made unwanted romantic overtures to them...she was gone the next shift, presumable bringing her special vibe to whatever dump he ended up working at. The co-conspirators had to make sure everyone was on the same page (i.e., wanted her gone pronto) or it could have backfired on them (or all of us). <BR/><BR/>Regarding the "Cryer", we had one of those at another of my former jobs, and as soon as we all found out how to trigger the waterworks, it became a great source of amusement to see who could make it happen the fastest and/or most consistently. In fact, I think he works for Starbucks now...couldn't handle our more "mature" environment, I guess. Or got into management, so he can make others cry now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23451718.post-43541046918590093172007-04-20T12:09:00.000-07:002007-04-20T12:09:00.000-07:00Alas, poor talker , we hardly knew ye...wait, that...Alas, poor talker , we hardly knew ye...<BR/>wait, that's not it, sounds like he was too well-known.

My response is "Then act like one." <BR/><BR/>I had a cryer one year when I taught sixth grade. Me and the art teacher, a friend of mine, used to have contests to see who could make him cry the quickest.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23451718.post-20784375523837388392007-04-19T14:04:00.000-07:002007-04-19T14:04:00.000-07:00My flatmate and I work on the same hotel bar.

At work, she's unbelievably stroppy and if I'm on shift with her she invariably ends up yelling at me in front of customers.<BR/><BR/>I'm just thankful we can work shifts round eachother!

Just a loyal customer's view on bux baristas.<BR/><BR/>PS I am a talker, but the baristas know when to shove me out of line and when to just let me talk.
