Job
So, my job is lame. I’m in training right now.
When I first started about 5 weeks ago, they were like, “Mistakes are fine, you learn from mistakes.” And well, I made my fair share in the first two weeks. Forgetting the exact ingredients in a cappuccino blast, etc, etc. Well, the past 3 weeks, I’ve made like 3 mistakes. One, put 3 scoops of ice cream in a medium shake instead of 4 (really, you can hardly even tell). Two, I mop front to back instead of side to side (no fucking clue why that matters, but he gets pissed off about it). Three, when doing an order for a party of about 8, all with weird orders, I forgot to ring up a single 85 cent topping. I was surprised I only forgot that much. They were ordering things like, “I want a banana split, but only two whip cream, four scoops, and 3 cherries.” I have to change the entire pricing for that kinda of thing. The thing is, I remembered the topping last minute and added it in the register, so I technically didn’t forget it.
Anyways, because of that last thing with the topping, my bosses wife Sharri (who, btw, has no fucking clue about anything in the store), says that if I keep making these dozens and dozens of mistakes, she’ll have to let me go. I’m like, “….I’ve made like three the past 3 weeks, and I’m still a trainee, I think that’s pretty good.” She was like, “You forget a 85 cent topping, and that takes away 45 cents of MY profit!” I told her that I remembered it, just took me a few seconds longer, and that she didn’t lose shit.
Yeah, she was mad because there was a chance she’d lose 45 cents.
Yeah.
So, I was going to give a month notice of quitting to move back to Red Bluff, and then leave in June, but I’ll just tell them now, and say, “If you want to fire me, go for it, but since I gave notice, and you’re firing me after, you’re going to have to pay me for the rest of the work I have scheduled for this pay period.”
I’m usually a nice guy who respects everyone, but if you don’t give me respect, I have no reason to give it back to you.
The funny thing is, while she was talking to me about possibly firing me, I was smiling and a cute mexican girl was giving me the eye. So it wasn’t totally bad.
