Ok,
so i just started this new part time job to tide me over till i can get something better, its working in the local adult shop ( and before you say anything no its really not fun at all) my boss is on holiday and im basically managing the shop till she gets back and i work with another part timer but never at the same time.
so anyway, the other part time woman that works there came in to take over from my shift, late, absolutely reeking of alcohol, my boss is on holiday until next monday so its just me and her running the store till she gets back.
i don't trust her anyway, she is more worried about her benefits payments than she is about the job, but with the alcohol and being late i'm worried i'm gonna get stuck in the shit.
so heres the thing...should i drop my boss a text to say that she turned up smelling of alcohol and late, wait till my boss gets back from holiday or just stay the fuck out of it ? i just don't wanna get in the shit if she fucks up somehow and i didn't say anything. |

It could bite you in the arse as you are the only other person working there but if a customer complained to you or your boss about her smelling of booze... |

When I managed bars I always expected my assistant manager to report anything to me that wasn't acceptable even if she thought it was petty even when I was off cos if it comes back weeks or months later you can't turn round then and say I told you so if you haven't told her a little text saying sorry to contact you but I think you should know bla bla bla will cover you |

Course you can... On one condition...;-)
When you reach your 6th birthday, ask mummy and daddy for a pair of mans bits...
Every job, no matter how temporary, can be part of a learning curve of experiences which will help you towards your future...;-);-)

why would i want a pair of man's bits... my partner isnt gay or bi lol
and i know its a learning curve ( nearly put curse then lol) and what i have learned so far is never work with anyone who still wants to claim benefits, never offer to cover hours when you first start a job and never work in an adult store. |

Well if i was in charge and she came in smelling of booze id send her home without pay and tell her to come back when she is fit to do so.
It all depends on what you want out of working at this shop as its only a gap filling job, any way dont worry and just do your best and good luck  |

I had this a few years ago, was working as a chef, and our kitchen porter came into work out of his mind, and reeking of booze... my boss was out of the hotel and uncontactable..
I made the decision to send him home, and then told my boss when he came back.
He said it was a good call to make and backed me up totally..
Is hard to be left to make decisions like this...
good luck xx |

If she's been there longer than you, she might be on good terms with the boss and you could be opening a can of worms that can backfire on you. I really shouldn't worry about it, you've just started and don't know the score.
Just worry about your own job and shift.

;-);-) Good answer...
Clarity, Diplomacy and Self knowledge...
As an old boss of mine once said "You'll do" ... And I did..;-)
Try to go to your boss with an answer rather than a question.
Good luck...;-) |

Maybe - you could rent her out when she is d*unk - make yourself and the shop some extra money !!! tell all the customers who purchase an outfit or a massive sex toy that they can try it out etc..
oohh - i can feel the forum heat - im going to put my tin hat on and retire.. lol  |

It's not uncommon to still smell of alcohol from the night before and it's more noticeable if you are not a big drinker. You'll smell it straight away. Did she smell of stale alcohol or was she actually d*unk? It makes a difference in whether she's able to perform her duties competently or not as she might just have had a heavy night and came straight to work from wherever she ended up from the night before.
If she's turned up at 1pm for her shift reeking of booze then that's a different matter and I'd tell her straight that you intend to let the boss know to cover your own arse. |

she came in at 6pm... and it was definitely fresh... i know the night before smell.. but i came in this morning and all the lights were left on, which considering there are only 4 things to do when you are locking up - put the shutter down, lock the doors, turn off the lights, and set the alarm... - is kinda unacceptable.. if when i get in at 12 tomorrow she smells of booze i will be informing my boss.. i really cba with it... i just wanna cover my ass and get on with it till my boss gets back,
thanks for all your advice guys.. |
