She was two hours late, and no one said a thing.
I'd been working at Mondo Burger for over a decade, and while I could bend the rules a little bit, I'd never once managed to pull off a stunt like that and get off scot-free. It just didn't happen.
But it did for Tina.
Tina was a couple of years younger than me and had only started as a cashier a month ago. And yet in that time, I'd seen her get away with things long-time employees like me could only dream of. From giving free food and drink to friends to leaving her cash in the middle of a lunch rush to showing up whenever she wanted-if she showed up at all, it was crazy.
I'd mentioned it to Calvin, the manager, on several occasions, but he brushed me off and said he was taking care of it. I'd known him for years even before he got promoted to manager, and he had never been one to let such things slide. But for Tina, everything seemed to just go like water off a duck's back.
But this was the last straw.
We were busy and she just waltzes on in like she owns the place, taking her good sweet time to get changed and count her cash before gracing the front of the restaurant with her presence. And the whole time I'm just seething because this is not how things are done. The moment she walked in I kept my eyes on her, carefully planning the confrontation that had been a long time coming.
And also checking her out... At least a little.
It was hard not to as, annoying as she was, she was also drop-dead gorgeous. About five-nine with toned legs and a nice ass, DD chest and long brown hair- angry as she made me even I found myself staring at her when I thought she wasn't looking. Some of my co-workers joked that she got away with murder because Calvin was sleeping with her, and if that were the case, I couldn't really blame him.
That said, it was starting to affect my day-to-day, some something had to be done.
