Wish I could make this up

OK! It is May 6, 2016 and this incident happened a few months back. I work as an Armed Security Guard, where the DoD has a few items in the building. The employees here are majority Engineers working in Labs and on high profile machinery. However, I started working here since February 2, 2016 and so far, the employees here have entertained me to the fullest. Here are a few stories, that I can honestly tell you; "Its the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!"

"Good morning..."

A few weeks into my new job, I hear a lady say; "Good morning, poo-tow! How are you this morning?" I quickly turn around to see where this voice is coming from because it sounded like she was saying it to me, and I couldn't see her. The next morning, same thing; "Mornin' poo-tow!" Then I stand still, because I cannot believe what I'm hearing... "Is that what I think she's saying?" This morning greeting has been going on for two weeks now and I can't seem to find out who the hell is saying this!

Finally, one morning, I see a female Mexican janitor walking towards me and a small Asian lady walks by and says; "Good morning, poo-tow! How are you?" as though it's a wonderful greeting. The janitor then rolls her eyes shut and keep walking. OMG! It's the Asian lady saying that to a Mexican!? Oh-emm-gee!!

A few days later, I'm escorting a visitor to one of the offices and the Maintenance Supervisor had asked if I can meet in his office after I escort the guy to his destination. I arrive into the office and the small Asian lady is standing in front of the Supervisor's desk, explaining how disrespected she feels.
"I greet her, ungrateful self every morning..."
"I know she don't speak English very well, but she does not have to treat me like I'm a piece of trash!"
And she concluded with; "I want you to fire her for disrespecting me!"

The Supervisor looked my way and said; "Can you bring in *** (female janitor) please? And I'm gonna need you to stand by in here, so that you can escort *** off the premises.

Me: "Yeah, sure." However, I'm thinking in my head; "...Dude! This is going to be epic!"

By the time I bring in ***, the Asian lady had left the office. Then the Supervisor (who is also Mexican) starts speaking in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish, but I can read body language. Once the Supervisor stopped talking, the Janitor started to yell at the top of her lungs, flailing her arms around and facial expression says; "you gotta be fucking kidding me!"

Then the Supervisor's mouth drops and he says; "Did she really say that?" I jumped in and told him that for the past two weeks I heard and saw the Asian lady say; "Good morning, Poo-tow!" Poor guy just froze and had nothing to say. I further explained that the Asian lady is the one who needs to apologize to the Janitor! And that this type of behavior is grounds for the Asian lady to get fired for harassment, being a bully, making the work environment unsafe and uneasy to work in and so much more.

Talk about a great day at work!!! LMFAO!! Puto's!!
