I know I know I hear you guys where have you been why are you not updating I am sorry really I am. So here we go! Today was well lets just say a day from hell. Actually I must say this whole week so far has been a little testie LOL I know that is spelled wrong but in my line of work it is the way it is spelled LOL. Good thing I know about them because it has been testie let me tell you. I guess you can say it started last Friday. We all know that I have been working "part time" Well sometimes I wonder if it is more of a headache then it is worth. I told them when I applied and I have already told you guys this but I did say that I would not be available every weekend because I have my business to tend to. Well they had me off the schedule last weekend and on Thursday they changed it to me working all weekend. I told them that was not going to happen. I know that sounds rather ballsy but remember they knew this before they hired me. I had two parties this weekend and I DO NOT cancel parties. Parties are my bread and butter so I will not turn them down. Well they didn't like that at all and my supervisor decided to throw BIG attitude at me. I think because she knew there was no bullying me into it. That is her managing style the kind that will hang something over your head and threaten you HMMM does not work this way. SO I just ignored the crap she even made me put a damn hairnet on! No one else just me to spite me, I put it on knowing I looked completely like an asshole but did it just to act like I was still not giving in. I left that day and although I felt a little bad I questioned why I did. I decided I would call her and say that I could work just not a whole shift. Then I decided no I will just tell her that tomorrow when I was there I had had enough and I did not want to hear her voice anymore that day. The next morning I got up for work walked to my garage opened it and yup FLAT TIRES again. I knew I would be believed when I called but I did not have a choice at that moment. I would either be missing that day or real late! I called and yup got attitude but there was nothing more I could do unless she came to pick me up..... and she does not have a car....DARN!!!!!! I called later that Day and told her I would work half a shift and she told me she found someone that would come in for me. Okay good! SO this weekend I did the parties. They were okay I guess but sales were a little low....still more than I would have made there so I am pleased.
Tuesday I went in and I sat down to eat before I started. The assistant to which I really do like said, "oh Cindy I am so glad you are here I thought maybe you quit." She then said that the regional said that as soon s I get there she was to page her because she wanted to talk to me before I punched in. I thought for sure I was fired. I was not scared, I was shocked. So she paged her and this is how it went. Cindy...yes...whats going on?......nothing much how about with you?......no Cindy what is up with your hours, how can we make you happy?.... I am so used to sarcasm that at first I thought she was making a funny. I did not get defensive though I said well when I applied I did so because the ad said weekdays. During the interview I did tell you about my business and that I would be able to help you as much as I could but weekends basically would not work for me. I then told her that since the day I started I have been scheduled 3 weekends out of the month all 3 days. I said that is not working for me. I also told her that my schedule gets changed too much without notifying me. If I did not look at the schedule every day I would not have known. She says back to me: we want you to work for us full time....I said full time weekdays is fine but I cant weekends...then she says that full time includes weekends and I told her that will not work... I asked her to add me as an extra if that would make it easier for tehm....she thens says she wants me to transfer to her store because she could accommodate those hours and I would make a lot more tips, or she wants me to be the assistant manager of another store.... I turned this down once before and I still am. I cannot dedicate 60+ hours to Webb's. She told me she would do whatever she can to make me happy because she does not want me to leave and I left it at that. After hanging up with her the assistant wanted to know what was said and I told her...she was so mad at the thought that she is trying to get me at another store. She said I cannot leave and the regulars said if you go there we are too. That was hilarious!!!!! NOW let me tell you all I HATE waitressing but I guess I am good at it. I have been told I have a way with people so I guess that makes me feel good. Now with me hating waitressing the best part is tips. At Webb's you have to share tips with everyone working including the cooks and the manager which I think is dumb. Which brings me to today they had 6 people on the schedule which means tips get split 6 ways. Today is Thursday not Saturday not even Friday why the hell are there 6 people? The answer to my question was not a good one you ask me. We have a waitress that is um like 80 she is slow and cannot hear. I was told that when she is on they have to have 2 people to count as one for her. My response the only people that is hurting are the people that are here for tips. If you are only pulling a quarter of the weight and it takes two to make one then that is how tips should be split as well. Oh and the other girl was new and when I was new I could not be in the tip split until I was totally trained. SO now I was asked to train her but because I am not a manager she would be on tips as well. So now I am doing more work with even less pay....GREAT!!!!!!!
That was quite a vent there wow that was long! Sorry! You did ask for a post though LOL!!!!!
SO I have also decided that I am having my own Passion party this month. I am inviting everyone, all past hostesses any and every one. I have rented a hall and it will be a blast.
