Whaaaat????

This has to be one of the most ridiculous and unbelievable things I've heard in a long time:

My boss, lets call him 'Mr Financially Retentive' has surpassed himself in the stupidity stakes today. His business, the very same I drive the white van from hell for, is a sandwich delivery business and by definition that means we need sandwiches. These are not sourced from outside, we make them, all shapes and sizes from 6am for two hours, four of us, every day, prior to hitting the road. We use electric knives, cheap ones, Mr F.R. wouldn't dream of paying for the 'commercial use' version!

So we battle on with low power knives, designed only for domestic use.....and they break, with regular monotony. What does he expect?

This morning, in the space of half an hour two of the four died a sudden death, one of them was mine. I approached Mr F.R. wielding said dead knife (please, don't tempt me) and informed him of my plight, to which he rather confusingly replied (and I kid you not)........

......."it's your own bloody fault, you girls all use them for making sandwiches"!!!!!!

Uh, run that by me again????

I'm still speechless!

....and knife-less.
