Yesterday was the worst day ever at work...
I was scheduled to work 11-8. When I first got there, we realized that nothing had been done the night before, so I started my work shift cleaning counters and getting rid of all the grease that was there from the night before. Then, Rheanna assigned me to concession 6, which is the one that faces the hallway. It was really busy and I was helping customers continuously for over an hour. Since I had so many customers without a break, I didn't have any time to get the things I needed. I ran out of popcorn, popcorn bags, nacho chips, nacho trays, ice, and I would've run out of cups if Jamie hadn't replenished my supply just in time. It wouldn't even have been so bad if I had felt appreciated. Once there was somewhat of a lull between the waves of customers, I began to try to get my concession ready for more. I started cleaning, getting popcorn, taking care of the popper (which had been neglected by other workers), and basically just trying to do my job. Then Rheanna kept telling me to pay attention and stay at my register. That really irritated me, because I felt like everything I had been doing and how hard I was working was going completely unnoticed. As much as I love my job, most of the people I work with, and even the managers, sometimes I feel like nobody could care less about me. I hate to compare myself to Melissa, but I see how much everyone cares about her, especially the managers. They always know when she's upset about something and they care enough to ask her what's wrong. I don't think anyone there cares that much about my wellbeing. It's just frustrating. So, all of the drama of the busy day mixed with the worthlessness that I was feeling and the fact that I'm getting sick and felt crappy anyway did not make my day go very well. I hate feeling unappreciated.
