Work Frustration

So a few weeks ago I asked a guy to cover my shift. I even offered to throw in an extra $20 (because he's normally a bellman, and doesnt make much money). In the time that I asked him till he had to work, my boss had a talk with him. Stating that if he didnt shape up, he was going to have to fire him.

I was unaware of this when I asked him... but I dont know that it would have changed anything.

I didnt have the money immediately for him, and since we worked different shifts, I eventually just taped an envelope to the desk with a twenty in it for him. I thought I'd be funny to write it neatly with a pink Sharpie saying, "To Will, for services rendered."

The envelope disappeared... I assumed he got it. This was a least 2 weeks ago.

TODAY I tell the story about how I had him work for me and that got him fired. ((which wasn't true)) Mentioning that I left him $20...
A fellow desk clerk tells me to tell this story to my boss...

Turns out he never got it. Instead, my boss took it so that he wouldnt get it... since he might have stolen something to get himself fired anyway. This money was then used to buy the front desk staff dinner. Dinner I was not included in. I was asked if I was hungry, I was not.

Internally... I'm kinda pissed.
I'd ask for this money back, if I thought I could get it. I think the thoughts at this point are that it wasn't my money anymore. It was this other guys.

I need that money.
I'm gonna have to ask for it back.

And Now For Something Completely Different:
