So, recently I got a job at a restaurant owned by my mom's friend. It was new, just two month old. They have 4 people working in the front while 5 working in the kitchen. I am not going to mention the name but this is a story that I think needs to be share because we all know working in this line is really really difficult. I just wanted to share my personal experience.
I swear to God the job is really stressful is all because of one person. The boss. How could you just go around and critic every single thing that we do. We are doing our best for the restaurant. We are short of staff but we did everything isn't it? The pay is not even worth the effort we put in. I was so embarrassed to tell my family how much I got because they know how much effort I put in and if they knew I only get that meager pay then I don't know if I will be able to go back and work. I continued working only because of my colleagues. They are the reason I haven't gone insane because of the boss.
I have worked here for 3 months and I don't even get one compliment from the boss. When the restaurant was short of staff and business was crazy, WE ALL HELPED. Yet, there is not even one "good job" from him. Fine. Today is my last straw and I gotta say it all here. Today a customer came in and when he saw the menu he asked why has the price gone up so I answered because of the taxes. That was my fault I know because I was just bullshitting so I accept his scolding. Earlier, I think a customer was standing infront of the restaurant but I didn't see him/her. I got scolded. He asked me if I saw them. Well obviously no. He then asked me to go behind and "discuss". Discuss in his brain means "Only I Talk" by the way. He scolded me about the customer again and I felt really mad because there's thousands of times where I went out and greet the customer. Just because you "saw" me not going out this one time you blame me for it? Ridiculous.
Seriously, I do not like to rant about this but its just to stressful to bear. Tonight I need to work again and I am sure I will get scolded by him again but this time I will just answer back because well the next post will probably will be me talking about how I lost my job thanks.
There's more to share, will keep updating...
