Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Veronica's belief in her own greatness, feelings of superiority to her boss, and expectation of special treatment are indicative of a narcissistic personality disorder. People with this disorder have an inflated sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy for others, and an excessive need for admiration. They often believe that they are special and only deserve the best treatment. This is consistent with Veronica's expectation of not having to clean the stove like the other waitresses.
