However, the comments by others which touched on what he said, or what I said in response to him, remain. Thought I'd better explain that so that new readers weren't puzzled by references to remarks that no longer exist. Thanks to everyone else above who responded 'though.

The man who owned the department store visited one location a week, so we saw him once every two months. He would call a meeting and make a big ceremony out of opening the box and reading its contents, and every card or letter praising an employee resulted in a $10 reward. Like you, Kid, these letters rarely referred to the employee by name, but it was a small store so it was often easy to figure out whom the customer was praising. It was therefore always amazing to me the lengths the owner and store manager would go to create enough ambiguity and uncertainly so they could keep from awarding any money. I always tried to be polite and provide excellent service, but this program actually seemed like a disincentive to me due to their petty cheapness. (BTW, the owner was worth around $100 million so handing out $10 wasn't going to kill him!)bazarovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851438313642984685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-43892774417442884502017-03-23T15:16:12.986+00:002017-03-23T15:16:12.986+00:00I think Brian is thinking about larger organisatio...I think Brian is thinking about larger organisations - I worked in a team for a large org that won a bonus (£1,000) I was part of the team (of 4) and was there for 8 of the 12 months and played more than my part in the work. I left the organisatiion and got nothing and I wouldnt expect it to be honest asit was salaried award and I no longer worked there - thats the way larger orgs wor happens regualarly. Your situation however was different it was a small business (was this the clock shop?) and differnent rules apply - forget the flirting (some NOT ALL women can be like that just as guys can be asses) but she should have given you ALL the money.<br /><br /><br />A boss of mine (a female to balance up this lady) got a bonus (salary bonus for good performance over the year) so this was on her own work and wasfor hewr alone - and she more than deserved it. She got £2,000 and she split it with her work colleagues (of which I was one) and we all got £300 each - as she said she was only able to do her job becasue we all did ours so it should be split lovley gesture - a great boss and person.paul Mcscottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982725171182221096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-25509645070743660562017-03-23T14:25:56.819+00:002017-03-23T14:25:56.819+00:00To my mind it was petty and vindictive of your fri...To my mind it was petty and vindictive of your friend not to give you your share.
