I started my job slinging pizzas this week. Today was my third day. In the state I’m in, a 15 minute break is required by law after 4 hours of work. But they have the audacity to look at my surprised when I asked to go on break? They said they don’t do them for 5’s, but I can time a 5 minute breather.
What the fuck? But whatever, you take a lot of mini breaks to vape in the back or text, I’ll move on.
But today, my training shift was from 4 to 9. It was a busy day, we still have customers at 9, but ample help. I took off my apron and said I’m leaving, and the manager looked dumbfounded. She cops an attitude and says my scheduled time isn’t a guarantee.
Um. No. I make minimum wage, I don’t do it out of passion, it’s a set task I do for income. She may work 50 hours a week carrying the store, but I don’t fucking care.
I look it up and forums all across the internet say how they don’t even check when they’re gonna leave, that they’ve fainted cause they needed a break, that the job runs them ragged.
Fuck. That. I don’t give a single shit about this place. I refuse to concede to that.
