Gah, work.

So, we have this employee, who we will call F. F has worked at my store for-bloody-ever--at least five years, by my rough guess based on partner numbers. She works a single 5-hour shift every week (note: one is really expected to work a minimum of 15 hours a week to even be considered part-time). It is the same shift every week (5p-close). At yet, every week she calls to check the time on it, although it hasn't changed in the three and a half years I've been working there. Every week, she arrives and claims the bar, no matter where the deployment charts have her listed, or what the manager-on-duty tells her to do.

You'd think she was a kick-ass barista and an awesome closer, then, right? Alas, you would be wrong. I finally managed to kick her off the bar and stick her on register last night...and still, in the about half an hour she was on bar (while the barista was on break), she screwed up six drinks that I saw, and it was relatively slow. Plus, it took her forever to do the closing tasks I gave her, and she didn't even know where things were. Even though she's worked the same shift since the dawn of time.

And yet somehow, the other shifts let her get away with this. Explain, please? fiareynne, do you have one of these at your store?

In related news, the number of work-related proposals I've received has gone up again. I think I'm at 8 now? That's a funny story, too, but I'm late.
