So I worked for a local business where I’d frequently order food for my team, or a bunch of us (at least 6 people) would decide to order from a certain restaurant… At first, we were using Doordash. I noticed the prices were inflated on some of the app menus, versus the actual in-house restaurant prices, but figured, “yeah, that’s just a cost of doing business.” I also noticed, that maybe 2 out of 3 times, we were getting the same dasher: “Jen.” One day, I asked Jen, “Hey, you deliver here at least 3-4 times per week, that I know of… Can I ask if you’d be interested in a sort of proposition? I’ll either order ahead from the restaurant, or text you our order, and you go pick it up for us… it would save us $30-40 in inflated prices and fees, and in turn, we would pay…

I bartend events and paid decently hourly considering. Some shifts are solely bartending while some shifts involve bartending one well and bartending another well with a server. So bartender is working two wells. Server works with customers taking drink orders and preparing light finger food buffet style. Server is paid 60% more hourly + tips. Issues- server wants to split tips 50/50 from both wells, while they only work with the one well. Bartender makes 75%-80% of drinks for the shared well (server makes the remaining) and 100% for second well. How would you expect tip outs to be handled? 50/50 split with someone making 60% and hour more feels like giving my tips away. Refusing this new way of tipping out until speaking with a manager, has resulted in shifts being taken away.

I hate the feeling that people around me just don’t fucking care. All of these boxes are avalanching towards me but get upset I’m not moving super fast. I’m sick of them getting upset of me about jams and stuff that isn’t my fault. I’m trying my absolute best and they don’t care. I am never working at that place again….

I seen a meme today 'for my next job I'm going to pretend I have a child so I can milk all the time off that other people get' and it reminded me of a surreal situation in an old job that escalated so quickly and the epic justice that was subsequently dished out. Long story short is that nobody bats an eyelid when smokers get their fix but if I take an unplanned break and I'm in the toilet for more than 5 minutes I will literally get phone calls. One day I see a conga line of smokers going out and decide I want to stretch my legs, socialize and get some fresh air. Do I smoke? Fuck no. Naturally the place is getting busier. This smug individual that works in upper management overhears my colleagues joking with me saying 'haha this guy doesn't even smoke, big IQ…
