I've heard about the tyrants, she wasn't one of those. She was a
major manipulator. She took a great work atmosphere where everyone
had their oars in the water at the same time and turned it
dysfunctional because she played favorites. Part of the staff could
do no wrong, everyone else was always wrong. She also encouraged
parents to bypass teachers and go straight to her with problems, so
teachers were often blindsided. She wasn't well loved by parents
either, they knew she was a phony. Well, she picked the *wrong* time
to pull those shenanigans because there were virtually no voluntary
lateral transfers at the time, so no one left.

She ended up taking a stress leave a couple of years ago. She was
stressed because *she* caused the situation, but she used the
opportunity to play victim with higher ups (it was a "difficult"
school). We thought she'd end up being kicked upstairs, but there was
a change in administration and her buddies in district office left.
She's assigned to a school with a staff that has her in check for now.

Not a fair trade... your experience seemed quite pleasant and real. The
Lying Ranger expressed with great disdain and snobbishness an obvious and
total lie. No truthful person would have endured an entire meal at the
hands of "****y" waitstaff and then waited all the way until the bitter end
when presented with the bill to complain. The only people I've ever met who
would behave so, and there have been pitifully few, are those who'd contrive
a story of beligerent service in order to get out of paying the bill. In
all my years of dining out in all sorts of places I can count on the fingers
of one hand the occasions when my bill was totalled incorrectly and
immediately corrected without any fanfare... and never have I been charged
for something I didn't order or charged incorrectly for something. The few
times the error was in manual addition, so long ago I don't remember the
details, except that I wouldn't confront the waitstaff, I'd walk up to the
front and bring the matter to the attention of the person at the register.
Lots of people, especially these days, can't do math without a calculator,
no reason to embarrass them by making a public spectacle, certainly not to
what's obviously a menial employee. And I've sat at more bars than I can
count, plopped down a couple three twenties and began getting polluted,
never once has a bartender cheated me out of a cent even though they knew
there'd soon come a time I could no longer count. Common sense should
dictate that no waitstaff would purposely over charge a patron because since
they have no access to the cash register they have no way of enriching
themselves when the tab is paid. And nowadays most everyone pays with
plastic.

I think deja has waited tables. Every tenth customer is likely to be this
way. They are paying to make someone uncomfortable. I had a guy like this,
and I finally got down on one knee at the end of the booth and looked him in
the face (his wife and daughter were there too) and said "Sir, what can I do
to make you happy?" This after taking his meal back three times and finally
having it "comped" as we used to say.

I had called him so accurately (he knew I was saying that there was NOTHING
I could do to make him happy because happiness was not what he wanted, he
wanted to torment me) that he flew into an immediate rage, stormed out the
door, yelling at the manager on the way out "You need to teach your GIRL
that the customer is always RIGHT!"

I told my boss everything and how could he fault me?

There is nothing more ridiculous than to think I'd ever pretend to be who
I'm not, nor can anyone pretend to be me. I don't do puppets... I'm Chief
Marioneteer... I pull everyones strings and all dance to my tunes. Even
those who think they don't do my dance, maybe not right away but they all
eventually do, everyone does whatever I bade them. Even those who swear
they hate my guts, they speak of me every waking hour even if they speak
evil of me, they even dream of me, even if nightmares, they can't not. How
udderly redickulous for anyone to think I'd give credit for my deeds to
someone else.

Where do you think i learned my distaste for it

I wont tolerate it from 'freinds' either. And when complete strangers do
it to me on the streets for no reason i am aware of i move out or rangeg
as quickly as possible all the while avoiding any direct eye contact

Yes, public humilitaion harms the humiliator as much as the humiliated.
Gives them a reputation and people start to treat them accordingly.
HOwever, dont get me started on the more intimate forms of 'humiliation'
that can be quite rewarding

Im a rather large male, over 6 feet and some 200 pounds. I was schocked
when i finaly understood that my mere presance can be intimidating to
some people.

Fortunatly that is not an issue here, but in real life, that, coupled
with my tendency to have what has been described to me as projecting, at
best, "an air of confidance and self assurance"(that i may not
necessairly feel) and at worst, "arrogant posturing" i end up thinking
that in many cases a guy just cant win

I worked in resturants just long enough to find out i did not want to
work in a resturant.

Granted i was in the kitchen as an appprentice cook and not a waiter,
but still, too much raw emotion for me.

Same reason i dont work in a saw mill, or as a construction worker.
And why i was so glad to be able to paint silk in such a way as to
support myself

Self emplyoed is the way for me. Im a much better boss than i am an
employee.

I think I did.

Woo-hoo! I'm being compared to one of the greatest authors to have been
published in the 20th century! Thanks!

I wish everyone was expected to work in two jobs before they could move on
to something better: retail (any retailer) and restaurants.

Sometimes that is a stunning revelation. I know a lot of people that never
make it, though.

I worked in a resturant once as a prep cook and while i was hired by the
nice lady manager of the retrurant she told me right off i would probly
be fired for no good reason.

That the owner/chef who i would be working with was a bit of an
eccentric, rather taken to dramatic explosions of temper over
trivialities. But if i did my job well for as long as i lasted she
would give me an excellant referance and help me find another job.

I eventualy got fired for not closing a "BRAND NEW!" cooler door as
gently as i should have

It was actually a relife and i fled the premise with alacrity.

A few days later when i went in to get my check he apologized and
offered me my position back but by then the nice lady manager had found
me a similar position in a really nice Italian resturant where, though,
again, i got fired for essentialy trivial reasons i learned a lot.

Chefs and resturant owners seem to me to be, by and large a crazy bunch.

The last one i worked in the owner/chef had over 2 million in debt and
the resturant wasnt doing that well.

I'd compare it to Shakespeare's sonnets, in particular
the sonnet about the time he was overcharged two pence
for a brace of grouse.

I don't remember Shakespeare ever making any gratuitous anti-Norwegian
bigotry, though. Did I miss that?

Norway was part of Denmark at that time, and
Shakespeare most certainly had lots to say about Danes.

No! Never! I'd be the worlds worst waitress.
I've managed to work only one job where I had to work with actual customers,
and that was a year at a car dealership.
