Heyyyy, here comes a client in the front door! Janice is on the phone! What will she do? Wow, she hung up the phone and acknowledged the client! Yay for slow learners! Except right after she gets up to take the client over to the seating area, the phone rings, and Tabatha picks it up and begins talking to the client. It was someone Janice had called to remind about their appointment, so Tabatha puts the person on hold, and when Janice makes her way back over to the desk, she hands her the phone and says "Line one... um, the client wants to know why you hung up on her."
...methinks Tabatha would just love to thwop her a good one in the forehead with that handset...
Once she finishes talking on the phone, Tabatha goes off. "Nothing has changed for me since the first day I walked in this place because you just hung up on a client, which is even worse than hanging up on me! Candolyn told you to put the client on hold!" Janice is all wide-eyed and blinking. "I din't mean to hang up on the client." Tabatha's not backing down on this, "But you hung up on a client! You hung up on a client!" Janice is getting pissy now and turns away from Lady T, muttering "I already know that... I don't-"
Here comes Candolyn wanting to know what's going on (for a change). Tabatha explains to her about the hung-up-on client and Janice rolls her eyes and tells Candolyn "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't care, it's not that I did it on purpose... it's just too much!"...
...Janice's "I totally care" face...
Strike Two-And-Eleven-Seventeenths. Candolyn interviews that Janice "dropped the ball a couple of times" and that she was getting "whiny" and giving "way too many excuses"... and Lady T is in full bitchswing now, cuz she's not letting up on the girl at all! "I don't know why it's so difficult for you!" Janice's defends herself by insisting, "I'm learning, this is all a learning process..." Tabatha interjects, "But how difficult is it to greet someone?!? Really!" Rolling her eyes some more, Janice insists "I did greet the person. Did I not?" Dead silence from Tabatha...
...Janice, honey, I'd be in fear of my life if I were sitting where you are...
Finding a sudden pocket of rare self-awareness, Janice finally says "Okay, maybe this is not the job for me..." Still dead silence. Suddenly, as though recognizing a fellow victim in dire need, Candolyn steps in and says she'd like Janice to go outside and get a breather. She walks by Tabatha while refusing to look at her and mutters "Thank you." to Candolyn.
Now that she has Candolyn's full attention, Tabatha points out the obvious. "You now have to deal with what are the consequences going to be for Janice, because she hasn't stepped up, and I'm sorry... Janice is no better today than she was a week ago! And when I walked in here a week ago... she sucked!" Tsssssss! Burn!
Enjoying her break outside, Janice is still blithely insisting how hard this all is. "All this training is new to me, so, I'm not gonna catch on to it within two hours!" Um, yeah, except we all know this isn't your first day here, bitch. She's acting like she never knew what the job entailed before today! I'm guessing that up until today, she pretty much didn't really do her job. Oh please, if this girl is still working at the place at the end of the day, then Candolyn deserves to go under...
Wow, this has kind of turned into The Janice Sucks And Tabatha Beat-Down Hour, huh? I almost forgot that there are actual hairstylists working at this place. Checking in with them, senior stylist Shushan is doing a great job, her client looks totally happy.
Heyyy, checking Toad-Face's coloring job, it looks like she worked it, and none of her foils bled today! She's super happy, and Tabatha is glad not to have to behead her as well.
..."Maybe dis bitch ain't so bad afta all..."...
Blondie Sheri's client says she really likes how her hair looks, and Tabatha agrees (other than chiding her lightly for using a tad too much product in it) but other than that everyone's happy! Yay! I guess Tabatha doesn't care what Chubbsy Chris is up to...
After taking Candolyn in the back and discussing the day, it's time to gather the staff together and let them know about Tabatha's...

At last I saw one of these!!!
Tabatha decides to play along, "Is she not listening? Obviously?" Too funny Tabby!
And when I say I watched it, you know, it was on in the backround and I kept hearing her say to stop crying. Overall it's a good show, but a bit predictable, but then, I'm getting it mostly from your wonderful recaps, which are orderly to the tee! (what does that mean anyway, I so often use those expressions and don't know . . . thank god I'm not on a reality show . . .
HEART J-mo!!!!

OMG That woman was INSANE. J-Mo, I adore your recaps; I was at work whilst reading this and literally bust out laughing at the Pleather-Poo circle.
That little bitch Janice would have been fired the first day she fucked up if she worked where I was her boss. And Candolyn is crazy. No group of people calls you a liar for no reason and then she goes nuts talking about how "it's the button to push"?
That lady is *coo coo* but makes for excellent tv.
AuJew, what show are you recapping next week? Is Hell's Kitchen coming back?

AuJew recaps Kitchen Nightmares. The next new episode is this Thursday. Fox has been screwy delaying it for several weeks due to the VP debate, a major league baseball game, for some reason they ran a repeat one week.
Hell's Kitchen season five has already been filmed they are doing the casting for season six this month.

J-Mo;
Awes, as usual!
Expired McNuggets are just too funny! You can certainly keep that in your J-Mo-ism, even if you can't have politics.
That mural may not have worked or belonged in there, but I thought it was a pretty good representation of a tromp l'oeil just the same.
The Granny-Poo surrounding Suede was a hoot. I bet he was thinking "Suede doesn't find that funny"!
I just loved it when TabbyKat was ripping CandyLand about letting the staff run all over her. I would have had to say the same. Testify!
That awful green-y yellow-y paint as an accent wall? Aren't accent walls like SO 15 years ago?
I agree that there should have been at least one on-screen firing, or else Tab shouldn't have mentioned it each week. I thought for sure there would be one or more in there somewhere, but I was sadly disappointed. While I feel bad when people lose their jobs through no fault of their own, I have no sympathy for those who just can't (or won't) do their jobs - especially when it doesn't involve rocket surgery (LOVED that!). Just sayin'.
I'll miss Tabby - hopefully there will be a second season.
C U on Top Design!
Lots O' Love.

I will miss this show and your recaps. I've always wondered if there were really people out there who behaved like this and apparently there are. I do think there should have been at least ONE firing, but probably several. Ah well, here's hoping for next season.

I was so pissed for missing the season finale.
LOL come on now - they should have fired that chick Janice on the spot not give her probation. That is like giving OJ a 3rd chance!
I can't believe there are really REAL airheads in the world and she not even a blonde (maybe a former blonde) but not saying all blonde are airheads just some of them tend to be!!
Shoot as a Deaf consumer - I am about customer service is a must in order to make that money and get new business!
DAMN DAMN DAMN!
I hope Queen T comes back for a season 2 and come to the hood - because some of these salons/barbershop in GEORGIA especially in the Atlanta metro area could use her help!
