I posted this elsewhere but it got removed. I want to share my hellish experience at work today, so I hope this belongs here.
So I was scheduled to start at 8:30 AM today, our store opens at nine. I get there two minutes after 8:30 and I wait to be let into the store, and I waited awhile…
Usually the assistant manager is already in the store and will let me in once she noticed I’m outside. Ten minutes passed where I’m supposed to be clocked in and I’m still outside, getting annoyed at this point.
Twenty minutes pass and I’m about to just straight up leave and go home. After it gets to 9 on the dot, the morning newspaper customers are already lined up outside waiting to be let inside. By this time I had already walked away from the store out of frustration.
Two minutes after 9, long after I’m supposed to be clocked in, I said fuck this I’m not wasting my time on this nonsense. I head to my car, and just as I’m about to take off and go home…
The assistant manager finally shows up! Letting people in. I had the biggest what the actual fuck look on my face. She doesn’t even explain where she was or apologize for being late.
So I clocked in really late. But the district manager made a surprise visit this morning, and I let him know what happened. This was just super unprofessional and irritating to happen. Thankfully a cooler more level headed manager helped me out with the missing time at the end of my shift.
Also to add, I had a line an aisle deep and when I called her for assistance twice she yelled at me, that she was on her break. I’m done with today.
