I'm just venting. Don't read this if you don't care or want to. Sorry.
Today started out good, even though it was my day off. Some co-worker found me on FB and messaged me last night, if I could cover her 7 hr shift today. They all know I don't know how to say No. My boss was in a bad mood with me today, because I had gotten my asssitant manager a free Dutch Bros coffee on Sunday. My GM was mad. (I had a free drink on my Dutch Bros coffee card, I walked to Dutch Bros for my GM on Friday. She paid though) She mentioned it to me. She's bipolar, but had a great day with everyone else. I didn't say anything this morning to her. The co-worker told me I was opening the front from 10-5 pm. I get there, and I'm in my least experienced position, the drive-thru. I only had one day in training 2.5 years ago. Here they threw me on it one day and expected me to be a professional at it. I didn't get any patience with anyone that was helping me.
I'm too short to reach the cars that park a mile away from the window. I tried using a box to stand on today, but it only helped reach the customers. I was too tall on it to use my register. So I put it back. The window is really high up in the drive-thru. Today, a man parked so far away and saw me almost falling out, yet would not open his door to grab the food/drinks. He was reaching with his hand. If I had fallen and broken my neck... I would've quit right then and there. It's not my favorite position. My feet hurt after work because I'm standing on my toes all day. For 6.5 hrs.
They told me I had to do: panning all the bacon, all the dishes, stock, coordinate my food, help take the orders, also collect the cash. I was set up for a bad day. Next time next Monday when she calls off, I will say NO! I ended up only doing 3 sets of bacon pans, no dishes, coordinating, dropping fries, stocking, and collecting cash. We were too busy for me to do everything in only a few hours. Others helped me. I thanked them. Idk how she does all of that?
I walked home crying. I didn't even want the free meal or free drink for coming on my day off. They offered, I said, "No thank you." She gets to work my 3 hr shift tomorrow. I ended up complaining a little, because I felt stupid for saying I would help her. She calls off a lot.
I'm home now for 2 days. My boyfriend has tomorrow off as well. It was also payday today, I wanted to get something cool at Wal-Mart that Shawn had. A portable phone charger. I want to relax now. I took a hot shower, had a good cry, and now I'm ready for my 2 days off. Yay!
Get a canoe paddle and place their order on it and stick it in the car window. Maybe they'll get the message
Or a large wooden pizza spatula. That could handle those boxes that hold multiple drinks.
@WilliamCharles Good idea.
Yeah!
They need to buy you guys a set of good grabber sticks for when that happens.
Yes.
Damm girl you got to git yourself another job
Right? I'm scared to leave.
