"And I wonder day to day
I don't like you anyway
I don't need your shit today
Your pathetic in your own way
I feel for you
(Better fuckin go away)
I will behave
Better fuckin go away
I'm doin the best I ever did
I'm doin the best that I can
I'm doin the best I ever did
Now....
I don't need to fantasize
you are my pest all the time
I don't mind if you go blind
You get what you get til your through with mine
I feel for you
(Better fuckin go away)
I will behave
You better go away
I feel for you
(Better fuckin go away)
I will behave
You betta go away
I'm doin the best I ever did
I'm doin the best that I can
I'm doin the best I ever did
Now go away" -Godsmack
ok, so I don't work for Starbucks any more. I was already pissed off because:
1. all the high school remniscent drama
2. if you want a promotion it's who you blow *cough* I mean know
3. It was bad enough when Cindy was promoted (I trained the girl!), but now Lauren?! She's been with the company 3 months (see #2)
4. M-E-G-A-N
ok, so I've bitched about her a million times, but the cunt is leaving in like a month right? but no, she has to fuck with me first. So I got to work ten minutes late today due to traffic. I was visiting Maureen at her new condo. But I left there at 4 so I should have been able to get there by 5, but no, taffic was a bitch. Anyway, I get there and written on the white board is, "If you are going to be even a minute late, it is courteous to call." I DID call in, but no one answered. I told Megan that I did call and that she didn't have to write a note on the board she could have just said something. She said she wasn't the one who wrote it and that Mar did. Whatever, it looks like her handwriting and it is something she would do. Megan says that she needs to talk to me. She says that I've been late the past couple of days and the message that it's sending her is that I don't care about my job at Starbucks. Well, if she's so great at reading in between the lines than why can't she see the "Fuck Off" written on my forehead? I asked her if Mar had said anything. She said yes and she was giving me a heads up that Mar was going to talk to me about it tomorrow. Ok, why couldn't she just tell me this without the lecture that makes me what to scream?? No, Megan already thinks she is the manager and likes to over step herself whenever she can. After this, I start thinking that maybe I don't want to work for Starbucks any more. Maybe I should just get another job completely. I mean, a place that promotes people like Megan and ignores people like me isn't the kind of place I want to waste my time with. As I'm thinking this, I'm going through the motions that is my job. I did the floors like Megan told me to, I'm helping customers in drive, and I'm making product. Then Megan asks to talk to me again.
"So, I'm going to send you home at 7."
"Why?"
"Because I don't really feel like you are here mentally"
"What are you talking about?"
"You aren't even helping Danielle make drinks and I think you just need a day off for yourself."
(Sidenote: Danielle didn't WANT help making drinks! She kept saying "I got. I got it."
"Are you for real?"
"Yea, I-"
"You know what Megan? I'm going to do you a favor and just leave now."
"Don't make it more than what it is."
"Yea, ok, bye."
And I walked out. After ranting to Kyle a bit, I called Mar. She didn't answer but a left her message telling her that if she wanted to hear my side of the story she could call me. Otherwise, I wanted to put in my two weeks because (like I've said before) I didn't want to work at a place that promotes people like Megan. BUT I didn't want it to end with me walking out because I wanted to put this job on my resume and get a good recommendation. After I got home I told my parents about what had happened. They were surprisingly cool about it. Then Mar called me and the plot thickens. I guess Megan had asked Mar if she could send me home previously because we were over staffed. So, that was the reason behind me going home, not some disciplinary action. Mar asked me if I was serious about quitting I needed to write a formal letter of resignation, but she was sorry if it came down to that. So, I'm going to work until the 31st and then Im done. My only request was to be taken off of any days that I work with Megan because there is no way I will be able to see her without screaming at her or worse. My parents said I should write in my formal letter evereything that has been going on in my store and send a copy to corporate. It sounds great, but when will they actually get it? Will they do anything? I mean, is it all politics all the way up? I could get nasty and keep going higher up. I could even threaten to go to the press lol. Starbucks would love that. Their perfect little "3rd place" is actually all BULLSHIT. I haven't decided yet, but if I do write a letter, I'll be sure to post a copy.
