*growls & stomps*
What the hell is up with people who can't get a clue? Do I have to say "I order you to take your break at exactly twenty five minutes to the hour"? I thought saying "Take your break in about ten minutes" was good enough, but apparently someone decided it was not, and that they had to wait for me to radio them. "That's why we have you." was the comment I got. Radioing them would have been far easier had that same someone kept their radio turned up loud enough to hear, since I had to find them in person to pass on the message the first time, and had them paged for the second break as they again had their radio turned down. Next time the radio isn't turned up, this person will just not get their breaks, or any calls to do anything. Your radio is a very important tool in this line of work, and as I said to the person in question when their response was "I was busy," "At least say 'Stand-by' so I know you're not dead in a ditch somewhere!" That was the point at which the person admitted to having their radio turned down again.
ARGH!
That plus annoying girls who shoplift and then say "But I've never done that!" made today a really annoying day for only being a five hour shift. To boot, I got stuck waiting an extra hour for the bus since Big ML decided to tell me the boss has his sights set on getting me fired. Good luck on that one, bub. Fire me and I'll sue you for gender discrimination! Oh, and for creating a toxic workplace. The boy obviously does not know who he is fucking with here. Thou shalt not piss off the witch.
