So a few things happened today where I work.

Earlier I learned that one of the girls that got transferred to another store and was aiming for management had an intimate relationship with my department manager. Her last day was this past Friday, and he left her a love note on the schedule for all to see basically saying she'll be a department manager before she knows it.

What makes this bad is not because of the work-relationship they were having, but she's in her late 20s and he's in his mid-50s. I had not known of their relationship until today when a co-worker was talking about it while he wasn't there, and I was like 'she was doing WHAT?'

The other one was ongoing from yesterday where one of our clerks took an obtuse order (was a 3-tiered cake worth 500 bucks, had no sizes because 'she knows we'll know what size she wants' and quoted her only 70-90 dollars for the whole thing) and I had to call the lady. Long story short the lady bit my head off over the phone, bit my dept. manager's head off over the phone and pissed him off, and ended up talking to our store manager and getting a full-sheet cake for free. Not an hour later after she got her cake she trashed us on our city's twitter page but praised our store manager for 'being a class act'.

Firstly, any cake like that is something we not only require you to give us at least two weeks notice, but we require it to be paid in advance in full. She placed the order the day prior. She also requested a design that we needed a picture for, so we wouldn't have been able to do it either way.

Now we have a new rule because of said clerk's stupidity that only I or one other decorator may take cake orders of that size. If that lady recognizes this story and ever reads this, I hope you step in dog sh*t for your terrible entitled attitude.
