Boston's (the saga continues)
so pretty sure i need a new freakin job and like yesterday would have been nice!
i have left work the past three sundays in a row in tears and i am soo sick of it. bostons just isnt worth it to me any more.
i have been schedualed for one day the past three weeks. but there is more to the story...
so two weeks ago i got written up for "being rude" to customers on three different ocasions. nevermind the other 100 people that i waited on and made happy! bitches. yah so anyways got written up and justin (boy is he my favorite person in the world!) -- that was sarcasm kids in case you were wondering. was the o ne to do it. he said that i need to change and not piss people off and stop screwing up basically and if things didnt change then i would get suspended pending termination. But he so kindly added that if it was up to him, he would fire me but bob (the gm) is known to be nicer. he is such an ass i really wish something bad would happen to him.. i didnt say that tho :) He also told me that the was gonna start not letting me cover peoples shifts.. this is THE only way i have been able to survive for the past like mmm prolly 6 months or soo.
so i dont work at all the whole next week, accept for my one flippin day.. cuz he prolly told everyone they couldnt call me. then the next week jessica calls and wants me to cover her friday.. 330 shift..which can be crazy cuz ur the only girl on the floor til like 5. it was fine early in the evening but later on not so much.
keep in mind that i was under a ton of pressure thinking with every step that i couldnt screw up becuase if i did then i would be fired.. basically..
so i dropped off a guys check and said that i would be thier cashier when then were ready... they werent very cheery people in the first place.. so i gave them thier check and kept my eye on em.. well i had to run into the bar to get a drink came out and they were up front paying justin.. not a big deal right? well according to justin this was strike one. pick it up erin you can do it. so the i was thinkin FUCK even more so then in the beginning of the evening when i knew they were watching me...
then there was another couple ordered thier food and said that they wanted to order a pizza for thier son to go.. so i waited to ring it in.. then i sent it and said that it would be about 5 mins.. and it was.. then i brought them thier pizza and said okay ur indy hawaiin they kind of look at eachother and say hawaiin? we ordered pepperoni... i say okay well im soo sorry let me get you another one.. they say no we dont have time we need to go and see a movie.. i say well can i take it off the bill for you or will someone else eat it ? they just say thats fine and i drop the check then the next thing i kno they are up talking to justin.. he mis understands the whole thing and thinks that they want another pizza.. which they dont becuase they donot have time to wait.. so this was strike 2 and 3 becuase apparently they had to go up to justin to pay becuz i was no where around... yah cuz i disappear on a regular basis..
then justin doesnt talk to me for the rest of the evening.. and i am thinking FUCK..FUCK.. FUCK... so i just kind of try to avoid.. them...
then i wait on my last table for the evening.. they were some really sweet women three of them.. all drinkin margaritas but, since karen (owner) is fuckin cheap we dont have enough margarita glasses so they put margaritas in water glasses well these margaritas were on the rox and the lady had drinken most of hers and it was right by her water glass so i poured water into her margarita.. ruining her margarita.. she wasnt all that upset and i said well can i get u another one? she says only if its happy hr price.. and i am thinkin fine i can do that w/ o even talking to a manager.. just oreder it in the bar.. well no such luck they all rang up as the same price.. so i dropped the bill and didn really say nething then they noticed that they had been charged 5 dollars for all the margaritas.. so they were flagging me down and justin noticed before i did.. so he started talking to them and they said that my service was fine and i was great but they were just wondering about the price of the margarita...
so then i do my cash out and bob walks into the office and says take a few deeep breathes and sit down.. i am thinkin fuck fuck fuck fuck.. anyway to make a long story short they suspended me for a week and i go in on friday to talk about what the final decsion will be.. he says that if i were anybody else then i wouuld have been fired a long time ago.. and that he really likes me and wondering if there are other problems in my life that are affecting my work.. and he wants to work with me and help me to be the server that he knows i can be.. gag.. i think that i am done.. there
anyways so now i have been thinking of all the shit that i want to say to bob when i go in on friday..
i feel like i am being singled out.. i cant be the only one screwing up?
why do u guys always have to take customers side over the server.. cant the server ever be right?
i dont think that right now i am capable of working on the busiest nights of the week.. maybe put me on like m-w shifts til i get my shit together and can handel the busy nights and station..
I dont think that i can be the kind of server that you guys want, so i think that i am done... (this one depends on if i find another job by fri)
i think that there is a deffinite problem with the communication lines between the managers and the servers..
when i am not in a crazy busy section i can be an awesome server and make 20% tips.. i think that i just get to stressed out and try to do everyting myself.. and until i lern better how to ask for help i need to be on slower nights..
everybody makes mistakes i am only human!
.. and i am still thinking..
so i started job hunting:
beaches- went to a group interview and then got called the next day saying that they dont have any open postitions right now... but they will keep my application and might call again in 2-3 weeks.. so pretty much no :(
red robin- turned in an app there in the beginnig of april, there is a cook at bostons that works there and has put in good words for me) sat down and had a nice interview with the manager and said that i should be hearing from him in the next week or so.. so i called on the following sat and left a messge then on wed and left another messege.. nothing.. so i went in and talked to another manager and they arent doin any hiring til 2 weeks or so so call them back then, hmm
turned in an appt newport bay today talked to a nice lady named Amy and we had a good interview.. she said that they are looking to hire someone next week possibly and i look good but am on the cusp becuase they generally look for people with two yrs experiance in the same kind of rest... so i have to call early next week for that..
tgi friday.. the little hostess girl is a bitch and when i asked for the manager she looked for him and came back like a min later and said they arent hiring but she would be sure to give my app to her manager.. so pretty much a no go.. but i tried..
saw a sign at brewed awakenings and applied.. the manager was on the phone when she took so i guess another wait and see?
also went to childrens village... and put elyse's name on the app.. the lady there wasnt very friendly.. i aksed if i should call back in a few days and she just kind of looked at me and said well yah if you want of we will just call you when we are hiring.
i plan to go to: joes crab shack , who songs (maybe), elmers on mill plain (mom says they are hiring like mad), mcgraths, need to turn in app at this applebees, maybe other red robin? and anywhere else i see along the way..
**i do think that this might be the longest entry i have ever had** amazing :)
ps i am the only girl i know with pink and white jordans.. my wonderful bf surpirsed me with them yesterday :)
