She could have helped out by replenishing some of the backups and stayed an extra half hour or hour, but no,...she passed the buck. I guess I'm the only one not allowed to be selfish. The amount of work I had to do was just overwhelming. The shittiest part is the bosses act flabbergasted that I'm overwhelmed. WTF.
I HATE THIS SHIT! It happens all the time to me as well. We're always, ALWAYS running out of stuff halfway through the night so we get to play catch-up when it's already overwhelmingly busy. Is it really that hard to stock up before you leave? Fuck, you don't even have to do that -- it would be cool if you'd just prep stuff like you're being paid to.
YOU AREN'T EVEN ON THE LINE, YOU'RE IN THE BACK CUTTING THINGS UP
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ALL DAY GUYS
WHY DO YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS
I quit that job today. I just didn't fit in there. In my experience most cooks love what they do but they get agro from time to time. My agro was justified but it mystified the boss and brought her mood down (her words, not mine),...so rather than continue to bring people down I just stayed in bed. I got a text from the boss saying "Did you quit?" as if that was what she wanted all along (so she wouldn't have to pay unemployment). I told her I'd be in to pick up my check, my tips and my personal belongings this afternoon.
On the plus side I can bring my badass Shun Santoku knife home and leave it here. On the minus side,...I might use the knife to emo slit my wrists.
I thought this was Obama nation and he was going to pay for me to sit on my ass and not do anything,...what a crock of shit.
Luckily the wife has a stable and decent paying job. We'll have to shift around some finances but this is an opportunity for me to get back into school which I've been putting off because working 6:30 am til Noonish and going to school isn't very feasible. I want an electrical engineering degree. At the very least I want out of the food service/hospitality industry.
