I'm honestly so done with my job. I'm a waitress and I deal with a lot more bullshit than I should since I didn't want to switch jobs. But I'm so completely done.
I started at this particular job because I was promised to get training for bar. And that isn't going to happen, while the employee that just started last week is going to be pushed to be a bartender pretty much immediately. 4+ months of time wasted.
Anyway, this new employee called me babe, though it sounded like baby. And I told him to not call me baby. He got pretty defensive and said it was “babe” not “baby” and he was just showing me some southern hospitality . I'm from the same state and I have NEVER heard a man I don't know refer to me as babe. This guy doesn't even know my name, I've seen him like 2× since he started.
I got dragged into the office because someone got mad that I snapped at him about being called a pet name. And then it was implied that I was expected to apologize for not wanting a guy idk to call me a pet name.
I'm so quitting.
The store manager always favors the assholes and clearly, me being uncomfortable with being called something isn't something they are concerned about.
There was other things that happened, like the manager wasn't going to let me have the free meal I was entitled to and kept telling me that there is no way a manager told me that such item was allowed-it is and it was on our little printouts we got. And then he wouldn't let me check out after I did all my side work. And when I got there for my shift, the general manager lectured me about actually confirming that I was told not to come in after I had been told by the other manager to not come in because they had too much staff.
I'm sorry, this was supposed to be over one thing, but it just turned into a rant about my shitty work day.
