horrible work environment, dreaded every minute of my shiftsThe good thingsenjoyed 80% of customer interactions, only time i talked to others. Food was also delicious.
The challengesThe shift managers were absolutely horrendous, one of my shift managers didn’t know how to use the coffee machine, leading to staff refusing service of coffees.
New staff were not fully trained and had to figure things out for themselves, when making mistakes they were met with judgemental and snarky comments and glances from shift managers. When making mistakes, my store punished it with the managers dirty work and co workers would use you as their personal assistants in a way, i was often so overwhelmed with individual tasks being thrown at me that i couldn’t finish a single one. One cook referred to me as “stupid girl”. I also receive a huge amount of hate and bullying/exclusion within the work environment, particularly from older staff.
I was denied my breaks frequently, when i couldn’t make a shift or i was sick we were instructed to reach out to other staff members in private to find a cover, at my particular location NO other staff members were willing to take your shift, i don’t blame them to be honest.
