So, I get to work at 5:45 am this morning and the co-worker that I am opening with is in a bad mood. again. Ok, no problem, I can handle that. Just keep in a good mood and maybe he'll catch it too.
The next person in is new and for the first half of her shift she is tired and out of it, and the other half she is constantly asking me if she can go early so that she can go to her superbowl party.
the person who had closed the night before left me with nothing, and becasue we were so busy for a sunday we kept running out of stuff and I had to keep doing refunds and giving free drink coupons to apease the masses.
On top of the crabby barrista, and the tired/annoying one, it's hella busy and we are short staffed. But still, I stay smily and charming because I am the shift on duty (trans: key holder/in charge) and it's my job. Since I'm in charge I give everyone their breaks before mine, and because it's busy, I had to go without a lunch because the guy who was in a crapy mood was being so rude to me and the customers that I had to send him home early. (this is an on-going problem with him)
Then, my next person in is only on her 5th day working, so I had to deal with just her not knowing anything (which isn't her fault) and myself (still smiling) with a line to the door for an hour until the next shift came on duty, when I then had to do the deposit, run to the bank, and pick up all of the product that we ran out of from other stores.
THEN (keep in mind this is already an hour after I was supposed to be off work) I had to stay longer to count inventory because my manager schedualed the closer to close with a completely new partner and with her pre-closer on her 5th day, there was no way she is going to get out of there on time in the first place what with training a new barrista (which isn't stupposed to be closing alone in the first place.)
there was more that went wrong, but I'm not going to explain because this already sounds boring and it's starbucks lingo so no one would understand it anyways.
I was so pissed off at the guy I had to send home early, that because I had to keep it all in and not let on anything, I had a panic attack for the next hour but couldn't freak out or show anything because I had to be in charge and work. I was supposed to be off at 1:45, but instead didn't get off work until 3:30. And I had to cancel lunch with my siblings because I have to pack and run to the store and SLEEP before getting up again tomorrow at 4:15am. AND I got yelled at for this.
GDI
I opened this morning, saturday, and closed friday night. I am DROP DEAD TIRED. So I am venting for a break.
Damnit, now that I am done I have to go pack and shop.
