BIL's "retirement" cake

(1/2) > >>

Suze:
First off - If this is not the right place would you move it please.

Today at my families Christmas get-together my BIL told us that he has officially quit working at the Pizza Place. (he's over 65 and it was a "side" job)

Well- there was a cake with pretty writing on it. Which was a nice gesture for someone who only worked part time anyway.

BIL later thanked the owner of the Pizza Place for the cake and was told "you're welcome, really not a bother" kind of thing.

Later after the owner left, BIL's supervisor came over and quitely told him that HE had bought the cake, not the owner, and that he would really miss him being around.

Can you believe the owner taking credit for something that he had not thought of doing himself?

Or was the bad one the supervisor for telling BIL that HE had bought the cake, even if it was told to him privately?

I vote bad for the owner who did nothing and took credit. The supervisor is probably fed up with owner doing that all the time.

BatCity:
I think in this case the supervisor was perfectly justified in privately telling him who the cake was from.

After all, it wasn't intended to be given anonymously.  BIL had been misinformed (so to speak) about the source, and the supervisor set the record straight.  I know if I were the recipient I'd want to know.

IndianInlaw:
Shame on him!

The supervisor must have thought highly of BIL.

Alida:
Kudos to the supervisor for such a thoughtful thing and BAH to the owner willing to take credit for someone else's actions.
