That's when you casually say to them, "you know, if for any reason you were to not work here anymore, could I have your chair?"

It depends on how close I get to them. Sometimes I feel bad for certain employees because they try hard...but not hard enough. Other employees just have a bad vibe and should be let go. I've had those days where I felt bad someone is let go...but usually it happens in a snap.

The best one....We bet how long he would last the pool was up to $50 cause we didn't have time to ask around It was 45 mins... 20 mins was of this poor guy trying to bring a car from the back into the shop ((couldn't drive 5-speed)) lol
