i had been looking forward all day to some chicken i had left in my refrigerator. it was left over from the day before and was really delicious.
however when i opened the fridge, the chicken was nowhere to be seen.......when i asked one of the members of the kitchen staff where it was, i was told they thought it was bad and had thrown it out.
for reasons i won't go into, i didn't believe that.............and after further questioning, i discovered that one of the maids assigned to the second floor had actually decided to take it for herself.
i was furious, i stormed out and ended up buying something called california steak. it was cooked and i ate it, but it was not nearly as good as my piece of chicken.
now it's not the first time this maid has taken something from my refrigerator...............i provide the staff with their own food, so there really is no need to pinch mine..............after the first time she received a verbal warning..................now she knows that on this second time she has a sound thrashing coming to her later to-night.
she also knows that on the third count i shall have one of the policemen in my pay escort her to the local jail to spend the night.....after which, no matter how much she begs, she will not be able to work in my employ again.
.......my question to you all is, do you have problems with staff pinching your favourite foods and if so, what action do you take?
this just didn't happen in colonial times.
