i think you’re SO COOL and ilu
Awww you guys.
Actually shortly after I posted this, there was a kind of humorous incident. So after the Worst Coworker left, she was replaced by a new store manager, a guy who was the store manager like fifteen years ago and decided to come back. (Terrible divorce, etc., time for a change in his life, why not go back to his weird old job.) He’s kind of rad, and is like, in his late 40s. Tattooed, has been a professional photographer for, well, the entire interim time since he last worked at the camera shop. And– he has FOUR DAUGHTERS, and one son. Five kids, this guy has. He is the DADDEST DAD to EVER DAD. If there was a dad-off, he would win it. (Narrowly edging out my dad, of course, who only had four daughters, so, clearly. I mean. You know.)
One of his daughters works at the shop. She’s like 18 or 19. Came in this morning in V-E-R-Y short shorts. He instantly sent her home to change. She grudgingly went, and came back in jeans.
That afternoon, the closing girl came in. She’s about 21, a college kid. She was wearing the EXACT SAME SHORTS he had sent his daughter home to change out of. He came to me and said, “I don’t know how to handle this, do we have a dress code,” and I said, “the thing is, man, it’s up to you, buddy. It really is, you’re the manager and it is your call.”
He was like, “I can yell at my daughter for looking unprofessional but I feel weird yelling at some grown woman who is my employee about her thighs. I just feel like you can’t wear real short shorts at work but I am uncomfortable making this call.”
His daughter, who is rather shy but has come out of her shell a lot since he came back, and has revealed herself to be pretty sharp all together, said, “Dad, it’s your job. If there’s gonna be a dress code, you gotta make it up.”
He gave me a look of despair and said, “I don’t know why I didn’t think of this,” and I said, “because last time you worked here, short-shorts weren’t in fashion.”
It’s true, though.
