Ok- I try not to talk to most girls in the dressing room if I don't have to. Once in a while I'll make a joke or answer someone's question, but for the most part I'm quiet, I don't have any friends or enemies, and I like it that way.
Get in, work my hours, get out. Easy pie.
But I made a small slip-up yesterday at the end of my shift!
I was really hungry and at the house mom's table, there were a bunch of plates of food. Since everyone was heading home, I figured all that stuff was getting thrown away, so i popped a fry in my mouth. And a tiny piece of chicken.
The house mom started yelling at me because it wasn't my food, and I said sorry and continued getting dressed and ready to go.
A couple minutes later this girl started SCREAMING and YELLING about how someone ate her food and how she wanted them to pay for it and how disgusting it was, on and on and on. I didn't even think it was me, because I had one fry and a tiny piece of chicken, and she was making the biggest scene, like she was about to cry and fight someone.
The house mom said, "I don't want any confrontations right now! I told her not to do it!"
and then POINTED OUT who did it (me).
The screaming girl starts railing on the girl standing in front of me, in the most shrill and annoying voice, thinking it was her, and then the house mom comes over to me and starts yelling "SEE?? DIDN'T I TELL YOU I DONT WANT ANY CONFRONTATIONS?? I TOLD YOU!!"
So the girl is still screaming and yapping- you know the way dog pounds sound?
And all the other girls are begging me to pay for it so she'll shut up, and I can't believe this is even happening to me.
I'm really tired and annoyed, so I hand her $4 on my way out, but she's still screaming, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, THREE DOLLARS" etc etc.
Did I do the best thing (got the hell out of there asap)? Was the $4 adding salt to the wound? Should I have stayed longer and let her get the rest off her chest?
Or maybe I deserved that, and I owe her. I did eat her food, it's true. I even thought of just saying "Sorry", or that maybe I should have given her more money, even though I really just want to punch her in the face.
Anyway, I was wondering if you guys have wise advice for me.
What's the best way to solve this problem, and go back to Good Times?
