It's wonderful going to college away from home. I'm very happy being responsible for myself, and I haven't had to work since I left in August. That said, sometimes dealing with the staff in the college cafe can be rough. There's one guy in particular who everyone seems to complain about, and I'm really surprised he hasn't been fired yet. I've had one run in with him, and it's entirely put me off the sandwich counter of the cafe if he's behind it.
I went into the Cafe around 9PM (they close at 11:30, so I wasn't overly close to closing) and went to the sandwich counter. Right off the bat, I felt like there was something wrong. I'm a very quiet person, but when I order food, especially in a loud place, I try to speak up. It takes me a couple tries for the guy behind the counter to get my order because he doesn't say much, just gives me this mocking look and stares a lot. I don't ask for anything complicated either, just a standard sandwich off of the menu board.
So he starts making my sandwich, then looks at me when he's already taken out the bread and spread something on it that he doesn't have any of the main ingredient. What the hell. He didn't ask me again what I wanted and then realize he didn't have more of it - he just started making it and, without looking to see if he had any more, told me they didn't. You couldn't have stated that in the beginning? I don't like to yell at anyone, so I keep my cool, try to act like it's no big deal, and ask for other veggies, and he just stares at me and shakes his head.
Eventually, I get something made. It's disgusting. I don't believe I've ever had a worse sandwich. The whole time I was at the counter, this guy just leers at me and makes me really uncomfortable. I've been thinking about putting in a complaint, but I don't think anyone should lose their job in this economy. That said, the guy is entirely incompetent. The topic came up in class one day, and everyone said exactly the same thing, that he's creepy and an ass to everyone who comes through his line, and that they won't get anything if he's working. I don't know if I should put in a complaint or not, but I'm seriously considering it.
