Take No Shit Day II

All right, I've started being really short with the boss. I can't take him. He keeps coming in and interrupting me and making me mess up all over. Telling me, "You should put this here..."

I tell him that that's how I work and I'm using that now and it's just relentless. So he's trying to organize all my shit, all the while it's actually disorganizing me all throwing me all askew. I can't work like that. It's too over-bearing.

Also, I'm tired of people bitching about rates. Like, "There's no way I'm paying 20% gratuity. I don't tip that anywhere." Well, for one, you're an asshole. I hate people who think tipping through too much. I'm not rich, but when I tip I'll tip more than enough. Example: I tip generally 20% because I know that they depend on the tips to get by; it's their pay. Sometimes they have to split between hostesses and cooks and others, so on top of that, they don't even get the full amount. But say 20% comes out to $8, a lot of people will tip exactly that. How the fuck is paying $2 more, making it $10 even, going to hurt you? Don't be so fucking cheap.

Secondly, the industry standard for gratuity for limousines is 20%. I told him to call around, they're all the same if they're a certified legal company, that's the rate. Illegal operators are the ones that can afford to do cheap runs, because they don't pay the right taxes and fees that we do.

That's the type of people I'm dealing with today. Fuck them. I started telling them, "if they don't like the rate, don't use us" with authority.
