I waited 6 months for my boss to finally give me the assistant manager position.
When I was hired at the cannabis shop, the manager told me that I was training for the assistant manager position. I did not expect the training to last 6 months. When the boss finally gave me the opportunity to cover a shift on my own, I wanted everything to be perfect. I arrived right and early so I could have the cannabis shop open at precisely 9:00 a.m. All of my fellow employees knew that it was going to be my first shift and everyone showed up early as well. It was nice to see the whole team get together to celebrate my first shift. Around 10:30 in the morning, there was a line outside with customers waiting to come into the marijuana shop. Monday is the one day of the week when we have a service representative in the lobby and she was giving out free grams of marijuana concentrate. The good deal spread like wildfire and I wasn’t surprised to see a line. I was surprised when someone from the lobby rushed through the backdoor to find me. There was a problem in the bathroom. Someone overflowed the toilet. Water was rushing everywhere and there was nothing that I could do. I tried to use the plunger to get the toilet to unclog. I told the lobby associate to close the marijuana shop. I didn’t want to call anyone for help, but there was nothing I could do. I called the manager and then I had to call a plumbing company.
