Are U f-in kidding me

Jeesus was I pissed off a few weeks ago!

You'd be correct if you were to tell me that stocking shelves is a simple job, it doesn't take a lot of
brain power but it does take a certain person. Now you may ask "what type of person does it take to stock shelves", so let me tell you, it take somebody that able to take abuse even when they are working their asses off, never hoping to get a thank you(it's simple and is good for motivation), and have the ability to watch people all around them f around all night/day, take long breaks, and take absolutely no pride in their work.

I'm not one of those people, I work hard, I take all of my breaks at the end of the night so I can get more work done, I rarely take my full hour and put up with more abuse than anybody should..... This is coming from a union member ....believe it or not!

So a few weeks ago 3 of us were scheduled for a Friday midnight, a girl on cash, a guy on the "floor", and me in the freezer ...... Well she had booked the night off WEEKS ago so she didn't show up, the other guy decided that morning to simply no come in(besides leaving every other day that week early!) ......So that left me ALONE. Now what that allows me is the ability to do NOTHING, I'm not supposed to work alone, so I could have simply locked the doors and sat their, I also could have locked the doors and gone home and I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN PAID!

Well I end up staying all night, doing a full nights work including cash and receiving and didn't even get a thank you in the morning!!

You'd think that was enough wouldn't you? NOPE, the same girl was working with me on Saturday night so I was to be alone Saturday too. So they found a way to keep a girl their until 1a.m.(leaving me with 3 skids of ice-cream to work in 3 hours, probably a 4-4 1/2 hour job), that was helpful, and I was thankful, I would have preferred she did ANYTHING other than bug me for 3 hours, but I had some help on cash so I said nothing Now they had a ass manager that was to drive the girl home, come back for a few hours, go home for a few, come back to lock up that evening. So I told her I was fine working alone(it was 1:30a.m. when she left, and somebody was in at 5a.m.) for a few hours and her schedule was silly.

SSSOOOOO, Pat(Manager in charge), the guy that set up this interesting weekend, comes in Monday and actually gives me shit for sending her home "If anything happened I could have lost my job" BBOooo f-ing hoo. Are you kidding me??

I never got a thank you for putting up with this bullshit, never got an "I'm sorry" for a brutal scheduling f-up, and actually get in shit for saving an Ass managers sanity!

Some times I wish I didn't have such a strong work ethic!
