so...there is a girl at work with that ive always gotten along fine with (ill call he jen) she is a super hustler, pushy but she makes a shit load of money and twice she brought me into champagne with her. im sure its just cuz im cute not because she really cares about me but whatever, money is money.
the other night a customer of mine came in unexpectedly so the waitress comes and tells me my cutomer is waiting for me. i excuse my self and jen is all over my customer, this is the second time she has done this. the first time he got a dance from her, she saw he was asking me over, and she left. this time she didnt leave.
now, i dont really mind that she is there and i dont mind if he pays her. he always tips everyone very well, and he never really gets dances and never gets champagne, he just tips me to sit with him, and who ever else comes by. but he really only does this to be polite, he only comes in to see me and the wairess and bouncer who he is friends with. he has been coming in to see me for a year and when i leave to travel he never comes in, he just wants to see me.
so jen starts to get pushy and sits on his lap and is bugging him to get dances and i know hes not into it and he keeps looking at me with this look like "help me!" i just laugh and tell him "dont look at me make up your own mind" because thats how i feel, i dont mind if he gets dances if he wants to, but i wasnt gonna tell her to get lost for him.
she starts to get bitter and pouty that she isnt getting her way with him, and she storms off. and of course she is mad at me. she pulls me aside in the dressing room and starts almost yelling at me. i just stand there and calmly tell her i will listen to everything she has to say, and then i continue to alternate between saying "im sorry you feel that way", "you are more then welcome to join us and make money" and "i agree." while she told me ridiculous things like, "i dont care if your fucking him, if im sitting with someone first dont come over and overwhelm the customer". and "i always help you and now your cutting me out" (by always she means twice)
i didnt argue back because i dont bother fighting with drunk people, and i wasnt going to give her the satisfaction of having a reason to be mad at me after she had tried to bad mouth me to every one. i think she came off as a bit silly.
at the end of the night she said "oh im sorry i love you i didnt mean to yell at you" and i said "you were more then welcome to sit with us" and she said/hissed "its not about that" (um ok)
i feel pretty sure will bad mouth me to customers and she is very sneaky so she might even do a good job of it but what is the next step i should take? i know if she is saying to much crap i can ask the manager to tell her to cut it out (they will not fire her she makes to much $) but i dont want to do that before i have to. i do feel like i shouldnt have kept telling the cutomer to not ask me what he should do while i was laughing a little. i didnt think that it would embaress her, it just seemed so obvious to everyone but her that he wasnt into it. if she was more rational i would tell her i was sorry about that but i she is too bitter a person she will never really forgive me.
