Sussex Woman in Pages of Reader's Digest

Sussex resident Kelly Semb shared a pretty embarrassing moment with the editors at Reader's Digest, and they thought it was humiliating enough to lead the publication's "@Work" section.

My first job was at a fine-dining establishment. On the night we ran out of french fries, my boss handed me $100 and told me to run to the McDonald’s next door and get $100 worth of fries. But when I came back with two huge greasy sacks, my boss looked confused. “What’s this?” she asked. “The $100 worth of fries you asked for,” I said. Her eyes narrowed. “I told you $100 in fives!”

Semb's uncomfortable moment with her first boss gave us at Patch an idea.
