I've gotten over the fact that you will never cross train me and I'll be stuck in my current position until I quit. Fine. And it's bad enough I have to stand on my feet for 6 hours straight without a single break because we're fast food. Fine. But ffs when my shift ends at 5pm, I expect to be on my way home by 505pm, not 515 or 530pm because I have

You staying late should be an occasional professional courtesy, not a required thing. They should be asking if you can stay until relief arrives, not telling you. Time for management to get a plan for how THEY will relieve coworkers and implement it.

However, if you are expecting to get out the door on the dot of your schedule every day, maybe food service/retail is not for you. Try a union workplace.

Not everyday on time. But then again I shouldn't stay 15-30 min without asking me every day too. You know?

Wait. Your relief takes an average of 15 minutes past your release time to show up!??! Are they late or is this a scheduling thing? Your relief should be there five to ten minutes prior to when your shift should end.

Also, you might want to check your state's labor laws. Many states require that a break be taken after a certain amount of scheduled time. It might even be written into the company policy; where I currently work, a 6 hour shift requires a ten minute paid break.

The cross-training thing really resonates with me, when I was hired by the first company at the site I work at I was promised lots of training, lots and lots. I got the legal mandatory training and not one thing else. I was treated like the red-headed idiot step-child and spoken to like I was 5 by the manager so often that I took to talking to her like that in turn.

Weird thing with her was the worse you treated her the better she treated you, I didn't get any more training but she stopped talking down to me, mostly.
