Yup, when my late grandfather was in charge. Seriously.

Every characteristic you listed (except being too good to talk to the warehouse guys-he was always meddling somehow) plus the mentality that that's not how things were done "back in the day". Nit-picked and rode my father incessantly about stupid $h!t, which in turn sent the wrath downstream.

I loved the man after hours, but he sucked as a "boss".
