'Twas a slog today. A new hire we've been training the last two weeks -- whom I know outside work a little -- is clearly an alcoholic (still in denial) herself, and I suspect had been drinking tonight, either before work or during her break. I don't have a good nose, but even my weak schnozz could get that whiff. Knowing her outside, having seen her sober and drinking both, I could see that tonight it was her drunk personality -- but my boss can't take that to corporate and pin legal fees on my judgement, so the best I can do for now is to minimize her impact on the business.
She needs to be happy I'm not the general manager; tolerant as I am, I'd drop this blade and rather quickly at that. Cursing in front of customers and being obstreperous, not a good plan to keep the job.
I don't have the authority to fire her. If I did, I would.
Ugly night.

That is/was a tough spot to be in, Thumpa. Perhaps speak in private to your boss and work out a system that he can come into the store if there is a "next time?"
I agree with you too, drunk or not, her poor customer service skills should be reason enough for termination. IMHO, better to cut the ties early than to prolong the agony when a misfit is apparent.
I hope today goes well for you, on a personal note and professional.

Evening all. Quick check in. Challenging times at present; work and home life taking its toll. Means I'm not feeling the acuity to post much. Fleeting thoughts of drinking but still on top of it, approaching 8 months...
Thoughts and best wishes to all.

Hi Jannies,
Mav it is great to hear from you. We are ten days away from 8 months, that is a good reason to smile. Sorry life is crazy for you right now.
Thump, hope today was better.
Odelle and Bandi, hope you are both enjoying your Sunday.
I took the kids do the mall earlier so my oldest could pick a present for her friend's birthday. I popped into Barbes and Noble a land treated myself to several books. I am reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child first. I loved that series, and I am excited to dive back into the world of Hogwarts and wizards.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday everyone.
❤️ Delilah

Good morning Jannies, thanks for the alternate thread tips everyone, I know I need to keep adding to my toolbox so that I am prepared for the unexpected. Sorry to hear that life is challenging you at the moment Mav, hang in there, it always levels out eventually.

Hi Jannies,
I am attempting to fall asleep, it is not going well!! Good first day of the week at work, nonstop, but that makes the days go fast. I went to the knee doctor to get cortisone shots today, they aren't working nearly as well, so they are sending me to a consult with a surgeon in Friday. We shall see what they say. The good news is I was able to answer the following questions easily:
Do you smoke? No, never did
Do you drink alcohol? No:-)
Are you overweight? No:-) losing 37 pounds out me back in the healthy weight zone for my height!!
I am only 45 which is young for the surgery, but there is a possibility of partial knee replacements, which would be an easier recovery, and I would possibly be able to do at the same time and miss minimal work. Also, I want to be able to hike, walk steps, and do yoga with no pain/problem.
My appointment is Friday morning, so I will go to work for two hours, leave and then head back. There are some advantages to being in charge, and goodness knows I put in many extra hours both at work and from home!
I am going to attempt to fall asleep now. If any of you have experience with partial or total knee replacement please chime in!!

As a caregiver I have lots of second-hand experience with knee replacement surgery! I'll pm you later today. Take care and hope you got some sleep.....-

Ody, I did have a word with my boss about it. One of my subordinates, who himself suffers anxiety issues, mentioned to me that her erratic behavior that night set off his own triggers. Given that he's a great worker and we have a great rapport, his words impelled me to broach the topic. Our GM is a bit much on the passive side (unlike myself ) and so I reckoned that perhaps a little gentle nudge could have an effect. I don't know that it will, though my boss tells me he's going to address the issue.
Ironically for this forum, I put it in terms of our license to sell alcohol. In Texas, it's illegal to sell alcohol while under the influence, and a violation can and will cause the license to be yanked. Given the proportion of our revenue drawn from beer and wine -- and the effect a denial of license would have on the business -- I hope my approach will have a greater impact than simply making what would otherwise be a personal complaint about staff not liking working with her.
Bandi, the last two nights have been much better, thanks. I have the next two days off, and we started training a new guy tonight who by all appearances is catching on fast. Easy-peasy, baby. And when Teresa returns, even better. Just a matter of holding one's breath long enough, right?
Thank you, bud -- it's always good to know I've given a little back, even as small as four syllables.
My best to you, hon. Can't help you with tips, but know we're in your corner. ((((D))))
