Hello Cece. Thanks for the video. Owner got served, but no one else did lol
Good afternoon
Story 1: "Do this, or consider yourself fired!" "Okay." An A or B question, answered in the affirmative, needs clarification. This is an expensive lesson in logic. Hope that TV show was good!
Story 2: I have worked in shops like this before, and I can't imagine a manager position where this guy could be considered to be working. Guy was hiding out. Sue and OP handled it 100% correctly.
Story 3: "I DEMAND YOU DO AS I SAY IMMEDIATELY!" "Absolutely! Here are the consequences of your demands!" "😮 You monster!" I loathe people who treat service workers this way. I call them "discount trolls," because they're trying to get something for free just to satisfy them. Hilarious to think that some of them still think they're still good people and are dismayed to hear about somebody getting fired because of their complaints.
LUV
OMG, another Greek Italian in the commenters, eh? I was still chuckling at the "doubt" that rhymed with aboot when you pitched the eh!
7:55 We call it a dead battery in the US as well.
Glad to see your post….brought my mood up. (And no ads from YouTube in the middle! Yay!) Hope you’re staying safe up there in Canada.
I've been curious for a while… do you have a single canned "Hello!" that you reuse for every video, or do you record a new one every time?
Story 3 will have me grinning all day. Giving a Karen/Kevin what they asked for and making them realise how nasty they are is pure magic.
Especially because Steve was not fired. I reckon that there's a running joke where the boss gets asked whether he has fired Steve today.😁
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I like dead battery better. Gives you the opportunity to get on your knees and wail at the sky "MY BABY!!! SHE'S DEEEAAAADDDDD!!" And then I do a Marlon Brando-esque ripping of my shirt
I would think he would actually need to be trained on how to properly clean an area that is used to prepare and package raw meat. Maybe a quick call to the health department might help things along as well.
First whoever is reading this better be subscribed and have liked this video. If not, I'll be short-sheeting your bed and will put a tarantula on the pillow to crawl all over you while you're asleep. 😈👹
Karma comes in many forms. That dumbass store owner should have been looking after his store, after all he is the only one with actual skin in the game. Cops should have arrested him for felony dumbassery.
I'm old enough to remember when there was only one lever on the steeeing column and it was for turn signals, and you switched the high beams on and off with your left foot.
Finally, when has a Karen or Chad, EVER wanted aomeone to get their job back? I mean that is the ultimate goal of all Karens is to get someone fired. 😂😂
May I please see the Department of Health guidelines for butcher area clean up?
Okay, I'm going to read all of this before I start to make sure the Health Department doesn't shut down the store.
Nope, I don't have the required training. Find someone who does…..
More great stories from the wonderful world of Cece.
I often wonder if the avatar you show between stories is actually a caricature of you.
You do sound young and beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
Good night Cece I don’t know where I sent my comment if it was to someone else or to an old post of yours that could be a possibility but I’m just too tired to write a nice Canadian comment about my apology that was accepted. See you later 👋🏻 bye bye 😊
Did you get wet from all the rain in this episode?
Love all the different backgrounds
02:25 You inadvertently cussed at everyone by saying that user's name! Google translate those words from Italian.
Still a great video though!
'My way or the Highway' – ok. 😮 😅😂 you loose.
Shine bright Starlight
Loved the fake firing!
OTOH, I worked for a company that terminated about 50 of us on Christmas Eve. We were temps, so knew the job was short term … but the timing stank
Cleaning a butcher shop/area is specialized food service work, and requires training and certification to do it properly. There are dangerous machines that can cause serious harm to the cleaner, and cause serious harm to customers if not cleaned properly.
“Unless they ask” 😂😅 OMG
Butcher area clean-up story: While it's not hard, cleaning a butcher's area is specialized work and does require a certain amount of specialized training, especially the cleaning and sanitizing of the meat cutting equipment and counters (and boy oh boy do health departments love to fine for those violations). Boss was too cheap and stupid to realize this. Too bad! Doubt he learned his lesson though. I hadn't heard the comments before. But given that the boss was always his in his office, I doubt he could identify too many of the thieves and I doubt the investigators were too interested in covering for his stupidity.
Had a boss very much like the one in the first story. I refused to work outside of my zone, and when the boss fired me, and refused to let me leave I called the police myself and told them I was being held against my will. I had recorded our interaction on my phone. The boss tried to shush me and force me to hang up, but I kept my phone out of his reach and talked to the 911 dispatcher, who heard everything.
The cops showed up, and I showed them the recorded conversation on my phone between my boss and me. The police made sure to escort me to my car, and I filled out a miscellaneous incident police form at the station later that day, I even got the badge number and name of the officer who arrived on scene. I filed a complaint to corporate about what had happened, including the copy of the police report and told them I was going to pursue litigation.
The District Manager almost had a heart attack, and the manager was fired. I was offered either my job back, or a certain amount of money (three months worth of salary) and a good reference. I took the money and reference.
TL/DR: I was bullied by boss to do what wasn’t my job, I refused, got fired. Boss wouldn’t let me leave until end of day, I recorded interaction and called cops. Police helped me leave, I filled out a police report and complained to corporate. Boss was fired, I got there months of salary and a good reference in exchange for not pressing any charges.
Story 1: I always thought that butcher areas had certain cleaning procedures that had to be done in prescribed ways, especially with the tools they use. That and they have health guidelines…
Story 2: Yup, MC served on a dead battery. Nice…
Story 3: Good job, sometimes Karen needs a mirror… good to see Steve was not affected.
Thanks to all 3 OPs and Cece for this one.
