As of today I have now been asked twice whether I am the manager of "my" store. (Actually, in the first instance, the customer didn't ask, they just assumed ... and told me what a great manager I was into the bargain, LOL.) With my keen intelligence, I am surmising that it's because I am visibly the oldest person there. Thank you, kind people, but in fact I am the newest hire in the place ... okay, the second-newest now. Newest Guy just started, officially, today.

I had someone ask my trainee if she was a manager, while I was standing beside her and explaining how to ring up certain items.A lion however, will only devour your corpse, whereas an SC is not sated until they have destroyed your soul. (Quote per infinitemonkies)

At the motel, apparently whoever is at the desk to check them in is the manager. I've read so many survey responses reading "The manager who checked me in was very friendly" or "The manager gave us directions to...". None of the people named are ever the manager, but in the eyes of customers, person at desk = manager.Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Most of my bosses are young enough to be my kids or younger siblings. I was lecturing the store manager today on how he will have to stop eating whatever he wants when he's in his 30s."Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably
