Just that really. She came in to help me one day and then assumed she had a job to fit around her childcare (2 half days a week).
Firstly, I didn't want anyone doing half days, it's too hard to fit around other staff and if the other person is sick I have no cover. I didn't offer her a job, she'd just assumed, and quite frankly, she's lazy. She spent a lot of time on her phone which left me to run the shop alone (it's not something anyone should run on their own).
I made a job list so she knew what she had to do. She still had to be asked and I ended up doing 90% of it.
She also brought her child in at half term which was fine if she was in the "designated area", obviously this didn't happen so I've now put a stop to that anyway, it's far too dangerous.
If it was anyone else I'd have let them go on the spot, I don't know how to do this without harming the friendship. I can blame the boss but I'd have to replace her so can't say it's due to cutting down hours etc. I'm really stuck. She's also been telling people she's running it with me! I know I should just tell her she's a CF and to piss off but she was quite a good mate.
(Namechanged as it's probably outing but been here a long time)
