The first day on the job: Do I get a discount on my phone service since I'm working here now?
The second day: I have to pick my husband up at 2:00 pm so I will be about 10 or 15 minutes late...
The third day: Phone call - I had to take my husband to the Emergency Room this morning but I will be able to work today...
The fourth day: Had to pick her husband up so will be late...
The fifth day: Came to the store to tell me she was getting sick. I told her to go home as I didn't need to be exposed to whatever she had. I am the only person running the store and I can't afford to get sick!
The sixth day: Called in sick but called me during the day to tell me she was going to the doctor; she was seeing the doctor; The doctor was running tests; She had Strep and would be given an antibiotic. Each phone call interrupted my busy day as I didn't have an employee!
Saturday and Sunday I worked extra hours to catch up.
Day seven: Still sick
Day eight: 5 minutes late...I'm not getting food stamps anymore but I'd rather work!
Day nine: 15 minutes late. Asked if she could work Saturday to make up the hours. We aren't even open on Saturday's! Took a personal phone call from her husband, leaving the sales floor for several minutes.
Day ten: She asked if she could bring her laptop to work to do her homework as she was signing up for CNA classes. I was dumbfounded and asked her why she would even ask that question.
Day eleven: She called at 2:00 p.m. to ask, "Can I come in from 4 to 6 as I have to take my nephew to Twin. I told her not to bother!
The problem is that she had excellent customer service skills but lacked 'work ethic'.
