Pepi was such a scheming little scut
He is an errand boy ,basically a nobody.
he just happens by coincidence to catch Mr Matuschek trying to commit suicide and stops him. Then while visiting Mr Matuschek in the hospital he starts his scheming, basically milking Mr Matuschek into making him a clerk .
Then he walks into the shop all haughty taughty . picks up the phone and calls an employment agency to hire a new errand boy . Who the hell gave him the right to do so, he's not the manager or the owner .Then he basically tells Mrs Matuschek off on the phone about Vardash- telling everyone to draw their own conclusions when Matuschek told even Mr Kralik not to mention it to anyone. When they ask him who made him a clerk. even Pirovitch says " who would do such a horrible thing" and he says "well if it wasn't for him youd all be out of jobs this xmas" real snotty like.
And to top it off , when Mr Matuschek is giving out Xmas bonuses ,he hands the new errand boy Rudy some money to which Pepi says to Rudy "it's too much". What a scheming little stuck up scut. For a sales clerk , he seems to think he ran the place and that Rudy worked just for him. I would have kicked his tail out the door .
