I don't mean legally, of course it's legally a job, but I'm wondering what the general opinion is if you're the frontliner.
at my job at a Wendy's, I'm the “frontliner” which I didn't even know was a job, I just assumed it was “The cashier” but no. the person at the cashier isn't only meant to take orders and hand them out. they're also supposed to:
- take out the trash
- clean up the lobby so it's always looking nice(including the restroom)
- become the janitor at the end of the day to spend 3 hours cleaning the entire front-end of the restaurant solo.(bussing tables, sweeping, taking out the trash again, mopping, cleaning the restroom, cleaning the trays, and more)
- make sure you don't run out of lemonade
- work on the fries
- do the dishes
- help take back this giant thing for all that fryer grease
- help stock up the mini-fridges and make sure we don't run out of sauces or drinks for the machines.
- do whatever the managers happen to ask you to do (even unusual and hard to clean things like the back of a fridge and the frosty machine
all while only ever getting a break once a day *if* I happen to be working 8+ hours. obviously, I ask a lot for those breaks when I am working 8-9 hours.
obviously, the hardest job is the sandwich maker, which spends several hours standing there making hundreds upon hundreds of sandwiches, solo. but my job still feels like a lot just for one person to do, especially during rushes and hard days.
but despite all of that I feel like I might be stupid and complaining about nothing, or complaining about a soft job that doesn't require much skill, but I'm going to ignore that feeling for now so I can post this, just so I can know wether that feeling is correct or not. is this like, a job that should exist? should there be at least two people working this job? or am I complaining and being weak?
