Told my boss I couldn't stay for the shift because I'd found out a couple hours earlier that my grandma is dying and was bursting into tears every few minutes. After all the “we're here for you”s and “that's so tough”s, he asked if I'd rather just do stock instead of serving customers, because he didn't want me to go home and “stew”, as if I was losing a pet goldfish or something.
