I wasn't the boss, but I was the top salesperson. They didn't know that necessarily either.
Dwight K. Schrute haha (oh that's right, scratch that-- Dwight killed Angela's cat...)
I think they may have asked if I was the boss or not during the altercation. I emphatically suggested that no one wanted to hear about their cat torture, that it was reprehensible and how could they possibly think that people could stand to overhear such a conversation. I'm pretty sure I called them "sociopaths" and worked that word in somewhere in my tirade. The reason I think they also asked if I was the boss is because I vaguely remember telling them that no, I wasn't, but that I would make sure that they wouldn't be working there anyway! ha for a moment they posed like they wanted to fight.
I think they didn't like the job after one day, knew they weren't going to be able to fit in/hack it. And me getting in their faces worked to discourage them further from coming back. Which was a relief, because I didn't want anything to escalate with those knuckleheads anyway.
