I am so darn angry and I keep getting angrier as I think about the situation, here is what happened. My boss came to me last week and said that the owner, J, wants to have a meeting with me and her. I, of course, am freaked out and my boss, L, said I should not worry that it would be okay. Well I stressed all weekend and yesterday we had the meeting, L did tell me the gist of the meeting beforehand and I have to say I am so damn lucky that I have been with my company for almost 19 years and that my owner loves me! J recieved a phone call from one of my classmates in my marketing class complaining about me going to class in my uniform (I do that when I have to work prior to class) because I smelled like old food, smoke and cheap perfume and she did not think I represented my company very well. Seriously! I am so damn devoted to that company and this "classmate" does NOT know me! I do not know if I am angrier at the classmate for assuming I do not represent my company very well, when in fact I am totally devoted to the company and its brand, or that they had the gumption to complain to the owner about my "smell"! I could have lost my job over a complaint like that if it was not for the fact that I have been at this company for so long and that my manager and the owner love and admire my work and devotion.
Granted I probably should not have worn my uniform to school but to think someone thought it was okay to call and complain just riles me! I am so seriously thinking of stopping at the dollar store and purchasing the rankest smelling "perfume" there and dousing myself with it before going to class! I think I know who it may have been since I sit in the same spot almost every single time! Really has this person EVER worked in the food business, you never leave there smelling like a bed of roses, especially after an eight hour shift!!
I just had to vent, and this is the safest place to sound off!
