  • Cafe manager is nasty to vendors

    I've said before, my husband works as a Vendor. Yesterday, he was due to deliver to CU (the college) but wasn't sure where it was going. It could have gone to the Café, the bookstore or where ever. So he called the number that was listed for the contact. Immediately this lady was crazy nasty.

    He called and asked if she was expecting a delivery and then asked where the café was on campus.

    She said "You've never been here before?"

    He said "I know where the college is, but I've never been to the café"

    She said "This is such fucking bull shit. Where the hell is my regular driver? I can't believe this shit. Coke is the suckiest (Yes, suckiest) company."

    She then started giving the WORST directions. to the college, not the café. Her directions started coming from the east, and changed in the middle to coming from the west.

    My husband attempted to clarify, which set her off on another round of cursing and berating him. He attempted to interrupt the cursing to ask if she needed him at the back docks to which she said "If you'd shut up for a minute, I'll fucking tell you"

    He then told her "I don't know where the hell you get off being so rude, but don't bother, I'll find it my damn self" and hung up on her.

    He got a phone call from her assistant a little later telling my husband that he was asked to call by his boss to give directions. The assistant told my husband that his manager treats all the vendors like this all the time.

    I really want to organize a vendor strike so she can explain to the college why she has no food or drink.

    And...to top it off, the order wasn't even for the café! it was for the book store

    Is there anyone (e.g. owner, CU management) that hubs can talk to about this nonsense?

        I'd take this straight to the Dean!

          I would NEVER even consider treating my vendors like that. That is beyond rude. She should be fired post haste.

            Agreed! And if she's this nasty to someone she only sees occasionally, how does she treat the people she works with on a regular basis? She doesn't make the college look good, either. Yep, take it to the Dean and have him deal with her.

              That's what I suggested, but he doesn't want to mess with it. I asked him if he told HIS boss and he said no. I suggested that he does, because what happens if she calls and complains about him hanging up on her?

              I'm thinking, if she is willing to talk like this to vendors, how does she treat her employees, or the students?

                That the vendors haven't stopped delivering there is the surprising thing. NOBODY needs to put up with that kind of abuse & YES, that's exactly what it is...abuse. Her superiors need to be informed of her actions.

                      So last week, the husband delivers again to this café. Apparently, this time, she was super sweet, telling him that she loves Coke, they always do such a good job and they have such nice drivers.

                      I'm guessing that:

                      1-her assistant ratted her out to someone higher
                      2-she got mouthy and rude to the wrong person and they complained
                      3-a higher up witnessed her acting crazy
                      4-or she saw my husband (as opposed to talking on the phone) and thought he was cute (He is pretty darned cute)

                          I would tend to guess one of the first three.

                            I hoping #'s 1, 2 _and_ 3!

                            Hope this new attitude is a permanent one...

                              Off and on meds would be my guess.
