‘The look on her face...it was priceless and it felt so good’: Ex "supervisor" tries to act superior and snubs a coworker, but she gets payback and pretends not to know the former assistant manager’s name

Service jobs always feature memorable characters, but the ex-manager who preferred playlists and cocktails to any actual supervising is in a class of her own. Crews run into this type often. She coasted by with charm and connections, spent her shifts chasing fun, and leaves the job in a fog of rumors. Months later, she pops up in familiar bars, still chasing attention, still tossing out fake greetings that mean nothing.

The aftermath is pretty standard. Once the spotlight fades, these attention seekers work overtime to hold onto relevance with snubs, lukewarm jokes, and selective forgetfulness.
