RANT CUZ IM EXTREMELY ANGRY
YOU KNOW I TYPICALLY SOMEWHAT ENJOY MY JOB, being a food runner for a restraunt, Im not really an expo,Im more or less the servers helper. BUT boss lady treats me like an expo. so.yeah.
lets start off with this morning..
im a night owl so i am up at night. getting up at 9:00 isnt easy or fun especially if youv’e only had about 5 hours of sleep (dont say just go to bed earlier..I physically CANNOT SLEEP any earlier than 3 am.) I get ready for work. leave at 10:40 Im gonna be a few mins late so no caffine for me also no breakfast soo woop dee doo. i get there and instantly SLAMMED, and not 10 minuets later into that slam we get hit with 3 TO GO ORDERS BACK TO BACK FOR DIFFERENT COMPANIES. im in panic mode and asking no begging for help to run this food out.in fact boss lady is yelling at me to go get help from servers cuz im unable to catch up. not to mention she is confusing me and sending tickets out in the wrong order. I ran my butt off. I WAS so tired when i got home at 3:00 i almost passed out in my chinese food.
BUT OH NO ITS NOT THE END OF THE DAY FOR ME YET. NUH UH.
I.HAD.TO.GO.BACK.AT. 5....
again i was late by a few mins so no caffine, but at least i had food in me.
PARKING LOT WAS FULL when i pulled in. by now im thinking what did i do to deserve this terrible karma being thrusted upon me?
I get about 10 orders in and im running as fast as i can trying to get all the food out. then IT JUST DIES....THERE IS NOTHING TO DO
IM STANDING THERE FOR AN HOUR doing nothing then a ticket comes up and a server comes back and takes it. i sit there flabbergasted. WHY AM I HERE. if you arent busy enough to be able to run your own food... why am i here, I DONT LIKE being paid to stand around in very uncomfortable shoes. woo 6.00 an hour. a few tickets trickle in after that, and i walk around out side the kitchen making myself known out there seeing if there are any tables that need bussing. NOPE go back rinse repeat. at around 8:20 the same server comes back and states oh i didnt think you were still here. i just stare. (by now im really starting to get ticked off because im tired, and because for some reason they wont let me go or are forgetting im there.) he asks me if i can give this particular ticket free bread....by now Ive absolutely had it.if my boss was there and if idid that i would get my butt handed to me on a platter. I simply go no. cuz thats what ive been trained to do is FOLLOW THE RULES. plus i was mad, i had just about enough of it today. I get frustrated and go out on the floor to talk to the bartender and one of the other servers, im fuming and trying to stay calm at this point because im frustrated. i go back give the server free bread and just dont give any f’s i get pagers for them and leave. i get home at 9:20 and sit in my chair my foot has a blister and i get to go back at 11:00 tomorrow. SO FUN.
I HATE BEING ANGRY AND I HATE CONFRONTATIONS AND YELLING AND NEGATIVE STUFF TOWARDS PEOPLE i try to avoid it as much as possible i usually just walk away. but when im already grumpy and tired i get really stubborn i guess and stupid things will make me mad.
