We have recently acquired a new housekeeper, and let's just say she is "privileged". She claims to have a husband so filthy rich that she has never had to work a day in her life. Due to that "fact", and the fact that she lives 25 minutes away from her job, I can only assume that she is working because all of the skydiving classes were booked, and, I don't know, the malls and salons in her town exploded (because why else would you be a housekeeper for fun, if you didn't have to?) That, or else the rich husband is a lie. But, I digress.
She has stated a few times that the position she REALLY wants is laundry. One problem; we already have a laundry person. So she quit. And then came back, saying she would only come back if she could do laundry (at which point she was told no, take the housekeeping position or move on. Which she did.) Well, she came back, but not without a big chip on her shoulder, which causes her to demean our laundry girl, among other nonsense (like lying to all the housekeepers and managers and just being generally two-faced.)
Tonight, her "rich" hubby decided he was going to treat her to a late late showing of a movie, and Sherri Shoulder-chip (not her real name) decided this meant she could call off for tomorrow. No, honey, sorry. We all have to work our scheduled days, that's why there is a request off sheet. When I told her this she became a little testy and began demanding answers to questions, with quite a bit of attitude. Here's a sampling:
"Are you SURE I have to come in? Because I live 25 minutes away and I want to see this movie." Yes. The manager said so.
"Well, how many rooms will I have?" I don't know, it's hard to say. We may still do walk-ins.
"Well what does it look like now?" I'm really not sure, I never work first shift, I'm not the one that sets up your task sheets.
"Well guess for me." I don't know. I've never set up your guys' lists before. I can't guess because I don't know how that works.
"Fine. When do I come in?" 9:30, the same time as always for weekends.
"Fine. See you tomorrow. Hmph." *click*
Aaaah, Housekeeper's Hell.
