chewed out
Yeah, so I got chewed out at work last night. Kinda sucks. Really sucks. My boss had me in tears half-way through his little shpiel. And the saddest part is, is that my boss is my cousin. Maybe I deserved it, maybe I didn't. But I guess it all started Tuesday night when it was really busy and I was counting change to give back to one of my tables at the computer and he came over and needed to use the computer. Yeah, well he didn't ask me to move which I found kind of funny. He was pushing the buttons on the computer around me. So me, being myself, said, "You could say excuse me." just joking around ya know? Well I guess that really pissed him off. He told me that had it have been anyone else, he would've fired them right then and there. So I guess I'm lucky I didn't get fired...but yeah. So he made up this stupid contract thing that says a bunch of BS on it that pisses me off. He also told me that I needed to act like an adult and that I needed to lose the attitude I'm giving him. My question is, what attitude? I have said like 5 words to him. He also said that Tuesday night I was ignoring him when he was trying to figure out what was going on with the big table he came in to take. Well, it's not my table...I was too busy worrying about my 6 tables (1 table of 10) and really, why would I have known what was going on with his table? He told me I had an attitude with him when all I said was, "I don't know. Randi got their drinks." Straight and simple. Do you think what I said was rude? Do you think it has attitude? I would've been more than happy to tell him what was going on with that table, but the thing is is that I DIDN'T. Obviously it's my fault that I don't know about everyone and their tables when everyone and their dog is in the restaurant. Oh yeah, and he also was mad about the whole making 4 shift changes this month. He made up this stupid rule where anyone who works 3 or less shifts a week is only allowed 2 shift changes a month. Well, my brother got married this month and so I needed some of my shifts changed. 3 of them were for the wedding. And pretty much everyone I talked to at work that was also only allowed 2 shift changes didn't care that I was taking more than 2 shift changes. My brother also works at the restaurant so everyone knows him and so they totally understood that I needed some shifts changed ya know? Well boss says, "It'd be like discrimination if I only let you have more than 2 shift changes and not everyone else." Well yeah, but NO ONE CARED!!! Gah, sometimes I feel like boss doesn't care about anyone or anything but the business. So now I'm not sure I want to go to work there anymore. But then again, I should act like an adult right? Still don't know exactly what he meant by that. But whatever. I just don't care anymore.
