Local man calls boss smart, but lazy
July 1st, 2009 | by admin |
Cleveland, TN- after pulling a double shift at the Highway 57 Tastee Freeze, Horace Rogers told his boss that “it would be a cold day in Hell (or the Tastee Freeze) before he would cover for his lazy ass again. The incident occurred just before closing last Saturday night when Biff Pocoroba, the owner and proprietor of the establishment for the last six years, stopped by to “see how the day went.”
Today sucked, Rogers told his boss. Jimmy, the regularly scheduled closer called out sick and Rogers couldn’t get in touch with Pocoroba to arrange for a relief to cover the closing shift. “I couldn’t just close the doors and disappoint all the kids wanting a Choco-Snickers Frosty,” said Rogers. “But believe me,” he added, “The next time you’re off at the lake with your family and can’t be reached, that’s exactly what I’ll do.”
Pocoroba told authorities that this is a rare occurrance and that Jimmy is usually one of his most reliable employees. He also said that, of course, Rogers will be paid the four hours overtime he is due for covering the second shift.
“You’re damn right, he will.” Rogers said in a statement. That’s when he said of his boss, “He’s a pretty smart business man, but he’s just too lazy sometimes.” Rogers concluded by grumbling that, “I almost hope this does happen again. I’ll burn the whole building down. I’ll show his lazy ass.” Rogers has one prior conviction for a drunken disorderly misdeameanor.
