is it wrong to......

Is it wrong to inadvertently tell your boss to go fuck himself?
setting: Hostess scrubbing glassware behind the bar, owner/boss sitting directly in front of hostess' task. Boss says "hey! here's a bottle with a message in it!" (empty bud bottle with label inside). Hostess looks up and asks "does it say "go fuck yourself"?....
Hostess wasn't thinking before she spoke, was she? not. at. all. Hostess was thinking she'd like to take that message and send it to a few unreserved diners in the hotel, who deem themselves above a reservation. This was not how boss took it. oops. Good thing the New & Improved Boss is soooo much more easy going than old boss. He shrugged it off.
Line backer says to hostess at 3 pm Saturday "You better take it easy on me today." Bear in mind that we are mid funeral (12-5pm) gathering, and she has just taken two more large reservations without phone numbers that I simply cannot seat at the times requested, which LB KNEW... Hostess, having had two bloody Mary's in lieu of pay for her efforts during the funeral gathering, looks directly at the Line Backer and says " I am going to hand you your ass, just like everyone else in this place, after the book you left for me tonight." LB had no further comment. And she definitely had her supple ass handed to her, in spades, just like everyone else. We are an equal opportunity employer :)
