The third worker, quit around the 7th, voting day actually, because she is 'tired' she said. Got her daughter to hand me the keys while she sat in the car..that is sad. Could not do it herself.
Earlier, she told the manager she did not have to work due to a settlement from a hospital here. She is working to show her kids that they will need to work.
Thinking about it, she also works at Sears. If someone does not have to work, then why hold two jobs and ask for more hours? She, the manager discovered, is also first cousins with the person fired after I was hired. We assume she was going to 'take' the drop offs for herself for extra cash(again the extra money) like we do. Like we do???? Do not think so.
The owner told the manager to hire someone as he cannot afford the overtime he pays us. I do hate greed. Everything in that shop is paid for. All he pays for is the repairs, which are slow to happen, and supplies for doing laundry. Oh! and the lease. He has money and thinks everyone is out for the sole purpose to take his money! And what is sad is his wife thinks the same way!
So right now, it is just the manager and me running the place. All he does is show up to drop off supplies and get his..money! lol
Maybe it is a blessing in discuise. Will have enough to maybe have some sort of a Thanksgiving this year. And even get gifts for Christmas for a change. Been too broke for the past years to get gifts.
Update: He is letting the managers' husband work in place of the third worker...just so he does not have to pay the overtime to me or the manager. He even suggested a "package" deal with hubby and wife..wife said no, he gets paid separately.
I hate greed. I have lost all respect for that man because of it. It is pitiful and sad.
Yes, I have greed, but not at the expense of others and I am struggling as it is. He, the owner, is not. He pays the lease and utilities, business license..that is about $30. Everything else IN the store is paid for!
