Whiskey finally loses her cool (not epic)

[Akasa]

You don't need the job for a place to live. Do you REALLY need it?

[Kristev]

You're quite correct, Whiskey. Food can't be taken back through drive-throughs because it is considered hazardous. Only water & blood get more easily contaminated than food does.

And no manager has the right to expect you to suffer threats of physical violence. Call the labor board, & the health department. That's your best move. The health department does have the authority to ensure that she is properly retrained on food-based health hazards. And the labor board, on acceptable levels of workplace violence (none.)

if you were anywhere near the bar i work at i'd give you as many free drinks as i can. Besides being a bouncer I've worked the bar that type of crap no one should ever put up with.

Me: I'm not used to being physically threatened on the job
Manager: Well this is fast food, it happens.

I always felt bad for our pizza guy. I used to live in the dead center part of the worst neighbor hood in town. They still came out at ten at night to deliver pizza. I always gave him a good tip. March on, brave soldier, and bring me delicious faux-italian meals.

Tonight was.. busy. Real busy. We had to do 150$+ an hour every hour I was there (11-330). I didn't even get a register tonight, I was grill/fryers. Usually I come in, clock in, count a drawer and pull whoever off. Not tonight. I offered nothing. I went to the fryers and started dropping food. My TL barely said a word to me and looked rather.. embarrassed once my Awesome Coworker starting asking why I wasn't smiling or laughing at all. I told AC what happened and he was absolutely floored. He went to the TL and asked him what the hell happened and I didnt hear his response. It sounded mostly like awkward muttering. It was nothing but business between me and my TL. They can't say I don't do my job, because I do. At 330 on the dot I was out of there. Usually I'll offer to help clean/stock quickly to get them caught up but.. I already showed up and thats all i'm required to do.

I think it's time to polish up the résumé and look for another job.

I work swing tomorrow, starting at six. I have to be up earlier than usual for that so I'm going to go hit some pavement and see who's hiring. I have an amazing reference from my Census boss and the other grave TL so I'm not particularly worried about that part. Its just finding someone whos hiring. My city alone is at 20% unemployment according to the labor site.

And yes, while I don't need this job to keep my roof, there are some.. semantics involved. It gets complicated, but I'd really prefer not to leave this job before I'm hired onto another.

If anyone is online right now (in the next hour or two?) and knows the ins and outs of resumes. I had an alright resume, but my hard drive crashed on my old PC and I have to re-create it. My AIM is in my profile. In a couple hours. I'm almost exhausted enough not to be kept awake by my rage like I have been all day.

[Mytical]

I have no skills in resumes unfortunately. I wish you luck in your search, and hope things work out for you. Nobody should have to put up with threats to keep a job.

[Android Kaeli]

I would, in no way shape or form, keep this job for much longer. You don't need that bullshit from the managers.

[Whiskey]

One of my classmates from last semester that I'm good friends with apparently knows someone who works at the health department. huh.

He needs it explained that the "fast" in "fast food" refers to the speed of preparation, not the velocity the SC launches it at the employee. Spineless meat balloon.

P*S

Whiskey, if I make a joke about putting you in a jar will you hit me? (Cookies for Reference) It'd be a really nice jar though.

On a more serious note, remember these words: It's not you, it's them.

You're likely to end up in Whiskey('s) Boot Hill.

If you need a treat, I will be stopping at the grocery store this week for my milkshake ingredients.....and some Kaluha as well.
