If there was an award for worst co-worker ever, who would you nominate?

0:06.0

I was working as a cashier for a grocery store, had an awesomely friendly boss who was always

0:10.8

quick with a joke and great with customers. She also counted the drawers and handled the front

0:15.3

of the store. My drawer came up 20 bucks short one day, never happened in the year I was working

0:20.4

before that, and I got

0:21.8

pushed in front of the store manager without any defense. I could pay it out of pocket or get

0:26.4

written up. I couldn't afford the 20 bucks, so I took the write-up. Broke high school kid that had to

1:21.7

been with a woman, telling me constantly how cute I was, I thought I'd have to get a new job.

1:26.4

But two days later, the addiction

1:28.0

went out and she ran out the door with a hundred bucks. The funny thing was, had it just

1:32.4

been the money, she would have just been fired. But since she ran out with the work walkie-talkie,
