So here's a work update.
I cut my finger open on a HONEY MUSTARD CUP. Seriously. A tiny 1x1.5 inch cube of plastic mauled my pointer finger. I'm super pissed. And I can't even put a bandaid on it at work for fear of it falling it off into the shake mix and ending up in some unsuspecting customer's delicious strawberry, chocolate or vanilla treat.
But anyway, that's not why I'm super frustrated about work right now. Although this bandaid is making it very hard to type.
I've discovered that when I'm the only person working front counter I get things done way faster than when I have to work with someone. Take yesterday for example. I was working by myself after about 6, and I was supposed to be there until midnight. They made me leave at 11 because I got everything done and there was nothing else for me to do because it was super slow.
Same thing today. I was done restocking by 10:30 but Curtis wouldn't let me leave because he said I was the only person on shift until midnight so I had to stay. Which is shit because I was the only FC person on until midnight yesterday too and Joyce let me leave. But at 11 Curtis left and Ms. Joyce went to back drive, then Ms. April came in and they LEFT ME ALONE WITH HER!!!!! I seriously can't express how much I can't stand this woman. Curtis and Joyce were talking earlier before she came in (oh work gossip) and apparently 2 people who work the overnight shift have already quit because of her, most recently Travis, who I was actually starting to be friends with.
So I seriously hate this woman, more than anything. I was having such a good day. Everyone says they don't like working with Ms. Joyce because she nags and she's grumpy and blah blah blah but I think it's just because they don't get shit done on time because she never nags me so she doesn't get grumpy. I would work with her over April any day.
April doens't nag, doesn't complain, but is so covertly bitchy that it's really appalling. She never says hello, goodbye, please, thank you, excuse me. She's so completely unfriendly it shocks me. I go out of my way to try and be friendly and helpful to her so maybe she'll give me a break but I don't see it working at all. She doens't run food for me (which she's supposed to, because when I'm working the register I'm only supposed to take orders and put out trays). She'll ask me to get something, tell me the wrong thing, watch me get the wrong thing, then tell me that it's the wrong thing.
Like today, she asked me for a strawberry sundae. She watched me take out the sundae cup, put ice cream in it, put strawberries on it, put a lid on it, get nuts and a spoon, put it on the drive thru cart, and didn't say a single thing. Two minutes later when the car is AT THE WINDOW, she tells me she needed a strawberry shake, not a sundae. And she doesn't even say it like "Oh sorry, I meant shake, my bad." She said it like I was fucking retarded or something. I fail to see why she didn't say anything if she knew exactly what I was doing. And she does this kind of thing a lot and is constantly talking down at me, and I feel like she delibeerately tries to make me look or feel stupid.
And that is more than just offensive, it's upsetting.
Because I can get paid $7.25 an hour doing a shitty job of everything like some people who work there, or I can earn $7.25 an hour doing everything as efficiently as possible, which is what I aim for. It might only be McDonald's, but I take pride in everything I have to do and if someone is going to ask "Who stocked up these cups?" or "Who made this McFlurry?" I want to be like "I did" and not have any doubt about why they're asking. Is this making sense? Ms. Joyce and Curtis already recognize that I get things done a lot better and faster than everyone else and it seriously pisses me off that April tries to undermine that.
I seriously almost started crying AT WORK today because she's so hard to work with. And I did cry as soon as I left the building.
Bitch.
