During training we all had to one-by-one collect our slips from the manager before we could leave,
when he called my name I was walking up to him but someone was walking across me, so I waited for them to pass before walking up to the manager, I wasn’t walking fast or slow but just at my normal walking pace,
There were about 10/11 people waiting there as well,
He absolutely embarrassed me infront of everyone – critiquing me so everyone could hear and telling me I have to walk faster, that I’m walking like I’m at a library, and if I wanted to work for them I had to keep up the pace, and that it’s important for me to smile (which i’m not sure why this was brought up considering he was just talking about my pace), he mentioned how as a waitress I have to keep the pace, which is important, but also patronising because he knows i’ve worked for a restaurant before.
I was going to tell him that I was waiting for someone to pass before I went but I didn’t want to make excuses,
he didn’t even look at me when he was giving me the slip, I felt so disregarded. I just said thank you and just walked past everyone with embarrassment, I honestly wanted to cry but stopped myself, because that would’ve been even more embarrassing.
What do you guys think?
