I've been working for a family owned Home Improvement warehouse for a year and a half now. I go in this morning and begin working as usual. A customer(let's call him Bob) comes in wanting to pick up a kitchen cabinet that he ordered about a month ago. My boss(let's call him dipshit) had apparently called him the night before saying that it was here and ready to be picked up. What my boss didn't notice was that not only was it the wrong cabinet but it was also for the wrong customer. This has happened way too many times to count. He's not a very bright person.
Anyway, Bob is reasonably upset at this point considering he drove 50 miles to come pick it up. Dipshit(my boss) tries to explain to him that the correct cabinet did come for Bob like he said before and that I had given it to the wrong customer yesterday. I let it go and didn't say a word because I didn't want to upset Bob further. I had spoken with him before and he's a really nice guy.
After Bob leaves I confront Dipshit about what he had told asking why he head said that it was my fault. Dipshit completely freaks out on me saying things like, "I can say whatever the fuck I want to", "get the fuck out of my face" etc... I was shocked. He wasn't exactly saying this in a calm manner either. At one point I thought he was going to hit me. I reply back with, "Dude, don't talk to me like that I just wanted to know..." Didshit breaks in, " I can talk to you however the fuck I want to!".
So, at that point I decided it was time for me to grab my paycheck and leave. What the hell just happened! Was I wrong for asking him why he blamed the mishap on me? There's no question that he was wrong in how he responded to me but how am I not supposed to stick up for myself about this. This is my job I don't need anyone coming down on me for something I had no part in.
Cliffs:
- Work for a family owned home improvement warehouse
- Boss messes up tells customer to come and pick up a cabinet that isn't there
- I get accused because my boss was trying to cover his own ass
- Confront boss and get cursed out by boss
- Get fired for asking why he blamed it on me
