Inside the Secret Lives of the Ultra-Rich: Shocking Tales from Luxury Hotels and Restaurants Revealed
I was TIPPED more in that single shift than I made in the entire month of November. I was VERY grateful that the assistant manager wasn’t a huge d**k about it- because i KNOW the other two managers would have not taken him seriously and probably wouldn’t have let us accept tips at all!
It took pretty much everyone we had working that night- to gather all that s**t (back then, the computers had heavy a*s giant monitors- not flat screens!!!)… Plus we had to do *all* the set-up c**p that the store did for every device that we sold… Plus we had to haul, recheck the inventory (plus ring up) and then repackage /wrap up all of it AND load the trucks….
We were wrapping giant boxes and pallets of stuff with plastic wrap and they had two big-a*s trucks come pick everything up. About a dozen of us were still there at midnight – loading and just hanging out… And the assistant manager didn’t even have trouble getting us all approved for the extra time because we’d BLOWN away our sales goals with the single night’s purchases!
The guy didn’t leave until after midnight with all the c**p and still, some of it had to be delivered the next day!
It was a crazy thing- and I was VERY happy that just being in the right place led to my taking home almost $500 more than anyone else, just bc I went to get the guy a $6 marguarita.
Some of the long time Best Buy employees were pissed that a young, new holiday part-timer got the huge tip (just for going to get him drinks) and said that I should have been made to share it- but the manager was VERY cool and told them to back off & to leave me alone.
