Being a trainee at a new job means you're going to have tons of questions. Even if you're experienced with your position, you'll always have doubts about how your new employer functions. Typically, your boss knows this (being the esteemed, empathetic employer that they are), so usually, they try to be helpful and available until you learn the ropes. Not for one Redditor, u/IlikethequietZeppo. When she was learning the specifics of her new coffee shop job, she was completely abandoned by her boss and left out to fend for herself against ruthless customers.
Nearing the end of her training, Zeppo was originally scheduled to work alongside a more experienced coworker, but when that veteran employee called out sick, the manager was forced to come in to cover her, however, the boss flat out told the trainee not to bother them at all– for any reason.
After asking several reasonable questions– like how to void a transaction, what to do when the coffee grinder stops working, etc.– the boss was snippy and angry with Zeppo, the trainee. Finally, the boss was fed up with the responsibility of training her employee and told her to leave them undisturbed unless it was an emergency.
Zeppo floundered all alone.
Then, after her break, Zeppo noticed that the boss's car lights were on in the parking lot, and the car battery would certainly die if left unattended. As Zeppo walked into her boss's office to warn them about the headlights, the boss flipped out and yelled at her to leave. "IS THIS AN EMERGENCY?!" Shyly, the trainee dashed away and decided to say nothing about the headlights. Karma would come back to settle the score when the boss tried to leave the cafe parking lot. Naturally, the car wouldn't start, and the hurrying, the too-busy boss got exactly what they deserved.
