My goofy boss has struck again.
Recently he's been trying to cut costs wherever he can, yet he's cutting in areas he's better off spending the money. Our towel service is one such area. He has the towel people coming monthly rather than weekly and has decided to wash the towels himself every week. It turns out laundry is another thing he sucks at doing. Many of the towels are used in the kitchen and they get greasy & some of them get covered with heavy duty cleaning chemicals, so you have to do a thorough cleaning job. He uses cheap detergent from the dollar store, not even close to enough bleach, and he crams way too many into one load. They don't get clean...they stink & they're greasy.
Last week he brought the towels back from washing them & left them in the kitchen. Not long after, it smelled like something was burning. I traced the smell to the kitchen where one of the employees was opening the plastic bag he'd thrown the towels into. When she opened it, smoke started pouring out...several of the towels were burned & smoking like crazy, probably from the grease & chemicals. When he returned to the store we told him about it & he just laughed it off like it was no big deal.
He washed towels again yesterday. I was curious about whether or not he did anything differently with the towels, but unfortunately he didn't. We found a note with the bag of towels this morning...
"The towels caught fire inside the dryer. I'll dry them at a cooler temperature next time."
WTF? There is absolutely no hope for that fool.
