I was closing my PO box at the Maggie post office. As soon as we walked in, the kids headed right…read morefor the rope. They like to swing it, nothing terrible, but that's the highlight of the post office, and I've always figured that hey, it keeps them happy! Before they could even cause much trouble, aside from swinging it (my daughter did almost knock over the post, Sandy barked that I'd better make them stop. She was clearly awful, so even though they were a little extra rowdy, I tried a little harder than usual to keep them behaving. Then my 1 year old stepped OVER the rope. Sandy barked at us again.
Me: "Really? She stepped OVER the rope!"
Sandy: "I've seen kids fall and crack their heads"
So now my 1 hear old is trying to touch everything and my 3 year old is, in Sandy's defense, being ultra whiney asking for something I could not understand. My 1 year old grabs a couple of cards, which I immediately check for damage and reshelve.
SV: "you gotta get these kids outta here. They are gonna to drive me crazy."
Me: that was wildly unprofessional.
SV: well, keep control of your kids.
Me: turning around to the line behind me "are they really being that bad or are they just being kids?
Most of the line shook their heads no. One lady said yes. She was Sandy's age and clearly of that super destructive mentality that kids should be seen and not heard and all that nonsense. They were being a bit extra, but still... I have NEVER in, not only my 3 years as a mother, but in all my life as an aunt, caregiver, etc, had anybody treat my children like that!
The guy who was washing the windows apologized on her behalf. And the customer 2 behind me came out and said "I have 6 kids. Yours were just acting like kids." And in addition, Sandy was quite rude to this gentleman. Apparently he was kind enough to bring something that had mistakenly been delivered to him. Sandy proclaimed something along the lines of "handling misdeliveries shouldn't be my problem".
She was truly an awful employee. I very rarely write bad reviews. I prefer to write positive reviews, which I do often. There is enough negativity out there. Generally (and Sandy could benefit from this practice), if I have nothing nice to say, I say nothing at all. But if I never see her face again until we meet in hell, it will be too soon.
Thank you for promptly handling your employee and sharing my feedback with her. Sandy, you suck and you would not even be an adequate employee in a box, never exposed to the public.
