Work as of 4/24-25/10
Today was another hell day at work. I got in at 5:02 pm, two minutes late, and left at exactly 1:45 am. I had a near thirty minute break from 9:47 to 10:15.
4h45m+3h30m=8h15m x 9.0/h= 75.60$
Before I even clocked in, my work day started with a letter that I will now transcribe with descriptive excerpts in parenthesis. I will also type it down to the finest possible detail that I can and will keep the hard copy in case its needed for reference.
Andy, (this is written in pen over white out of Will's name)
You really need to do something about Saturday nights. If you can't get done what needs to get done I will need to find someone else to work that shift. Every Sunday I get a message from the morning crew stating that things are not getting done on Saturday nights. Here is a list of what was left for me on Sunday morning....
1 Front counters note wiped down
2 Tables not wiped down
3 Ice cream mix not filled - left empty
4 Front drawers not filled with fries
6 Hot dogs not stocked
7 Corn dogs not stocked
8 Bread not stocked
9 Water not stocked in front
It is so important to get all of this finished prior to clocking out on Saturday night. I am giving you another chance. (This next sentence double underlined in pen) Please do not let me down.
(The rest of the letter is written in pen)
I realize that things can get over looked.
Carol
Please call me if you have any questions (the letter ends)
After a quick talk with Amanda where I told her about the letter (but didn't show it to her) she said that most likely the letter was directed primarily to Will and not to me. At exactly 6:07 pm, I called Carol, when I was cutting tomatoes and the seeds inside them appeared to be growing. I wanted to know if it was safe to serve budding nightshades. After Carol didn't answer her phone, I asked some senor co-workers, being Beverly (Danielle and Kim's mom), and Bonita, who all said it was fine to serve them. I tried to take out as many of the budding seeds as possible and stored the tomatoes as normal.
The night proceeded to be gradually more busy. Many of the things that were normally stocked weren't, so we had some stressful rush periods. We also had a couple ad hock birthday parties that ordered a lot of food and tipped little. There was almost no stoppage of customers, but the greatest concentration was from 8:40-close.
Will and I tried to be as rapid and thorough as possible with our stocking and cleaning. The nights chaos had left us tons of work to do with extra incentive from the written warning (at least that's how I interpreted it). We stocked virtually everything that we could aside from the things we wrote on the to-do list, (which were numerous, but all within rational boundaries of things that shouldn't be the night shifts responsibility). Everything should be cleaned and locked up too. When we thought we were finished, Will read through the checklist and asked me if anything had a chance of being left undone.
If we get fired after tonight, it is most likely due to us going overtime, (by 15) minutes, or some ulterior motive. I will be vigilant in whatever the outcome.
