"When I was a teenager, I had a job at a country club washing dishes. Wasn’t the most fun or best paying but everyone in the kitchen were friends so it made the job easy. The manager hired this new kid (read: pissant) to help us out, so we were asked to show him how to do things. This was right before lunch was over, so within a few minutes all the dishes and plates come back. This kid took a nice long look at the big mountain of dirty dishes and goes “No! No way I’m not doing those, that’s disgusting.”
So we ask him to go sweep the other side of the kitchen and start mopping so we don’t have to later and he goes “I’m not SWEEPING the floor OR mopping it, I don’t do that kind of things. “
At this point, one of the older guys in the kitchen says “Is there anything you can do?”
The kitchen got real quiet after that. The kid looked at the guy, then back at the pile of dishes, and then walked out the door never to be seen again. He was there for maybe 20 minutes, and didn’t lift a finger the entire time."

mind you: i was coming from a travelling circus, and was now hired in a cube farm. that didn't go down well either.
Not necessarily. She could be addicted to alcohol. Maybe she was already drinking at her previous job. A lot of alcoholics seem ok due to a build up tolerance.
Maybe she was nervous for her first day and drank more than she usually would, at one point the alcohol took over, reason was good and she ended up in that state. Like a lot of drunken people she just thought she was believable.
Having alcohol in her bag was logical too since most alcoholics drink during breaks.
Maybe she was a drunk and incapable of responsibility. Maybe you could start a new career helping drunks come up with new reasons why they're not responsible.
Maybe.
Where exactly did I say she was not responsible for her actions? Anyone drinking on the job should obviously be fired. I was just giving a reason why the story could be true.
And in any case, understanding why people did something isn't an excuse why they shouldn't face the consequences.
Literally every criminal has a reason for their actions.
But a reason doesn't excuse them.
MAYBE you shouldn't accuse people of things they never said next time.
I agree that part is a bit theatrical. But a lot of people like to make a story a bit juicer. Or it may even be how they actually remember it. False memories are pretty common.
Especially with details.
Needless to say, that he didnt come in the second day...
