Back before my former employer became a corporate cesspit, our GM insisted we stop using legacy airlines for company travel and use Spirit because, cheaper. To a man, we said, “you first”. He did and his return flight was cancelled and not rebooked for a week. He came back on United.:)
I always made sure I had a sheet of paper in my hand when I left the shop area. When my version of Rita would try to get in my way, I’d hold up the paper and say “busy”, then keep walking away from her. Most times, I was heading for the coffee maker. Sometimes, it was actual work.
She was a cousin of the owner and weird as all get out. They do take care of their family. At the very least, she’s now a hostess at one of his restaurants in Singapore or Hong Kong.
Since I’ve retired, I haven’t felt the need for booze.
