Wow, one helluva day. I confronted my boss about $250 missing from our store's lock drawer today and it turned out he did it! He was late with a car payment and decided to "borrow" the $250 until payday.
I brought up to him that it was short and he said "Oh, uh, yeah. I took it out earlier to make change for the store (its intended purpose) so it's OK"
"Really [insert name here], then why did I discover it missing yesterday?"
Confused look on his face.
"Uh, OK, well, I needed it for my car payment. I was just borrowing it until payday. But it's OK. It's cool."
I then went into a diatribe about how it's not "cool" because if our district manager discovered it gone during a surprise visit or something it could mean my job. I then stopped and allowed him to think about it for a moment.I began to leave the backroom until it struck me that I was just as angry that he'd lied to my face about it as I was about him stealing.
"And, oh," I said, "if you pull shit like this again, be a man and own up to it. Don't ever fucking lie to me again," and then walked onto the sales floor.
It was, by far, the most badass moment of my life next to the time I broke this kid's nose at the Warped Tour back in '97 for beating on some little suburban kids. Ladies and gentlemen, I have made my boss my bitch.
