[No, the worker should definitely do nothing to offend Al, who didn't like
being crossed.  An admittedly exteme is the case of two of his triggermen,
Albert Anselmi and John Scalise, whom he suspected were out to kill him:]

A week later, on May 7, 1929, Capone threw a dinner in Scalise and Anselmi's
honor, a casino called The Plantation, outside of Chicago. The whole crew
was there, about one hundred of Al's top people, but the only ones who were
in on the plan were Frankie Rio, Capone of course, and Machine Gun Jack
McGurn.

When the enormous formal dinner was ended, Capone stood and made a short
speech and then accused Scalise and Anselmi of plotting to kill him. Before
Scalise or Anselmi could defend themselves, Capone pulled a Louisville
slugger baseball bat, out from under the table, and swung it down hard,
first on Anselmi, who was still smiling when the first swing hit him in the
skull, and then on Scalise, whose only words were, "Jesus, Mother of God Al,
No! Please no!"

They were found along a roadside days later, bound in bailing wire, their
eyes gone, not a bone in their bodies unbroken. They had been shot, by Jack
McGurn, three times each, in the back of the head.
