I live in a pretty small town so finding a job has been difficult to say the least. I'm currently working at a Lil Caesars until I can find something better. The hours are great because we're severely understaffed, the pay is terrible, and we don't get breaks. However, the most miserable part of this job for me is the working conditions. The restaurant is very small and I work in the back making pizzas right next to a giant oven that is over 400 degrees. The owner, is a very stingy man. The AC is off and we are not allowed to touch the thermostat under any circumstances. I live in the south where it gets very hot during the summer, yet it feels much better outside than it does inside of my workplace. I'm constantly dripping with sweat. There have been quite a few people who have gotten sent home or just quit because they can't handle the heat combined with dinner/lunch rushes. Am I being a big baby? I've brought up this issue with the owners wife but she just shrugged it off. It's not like I'm asking them to turn the AC down to freezing temperatures, I just simply want to be able to do my job without getting heat exhaustion.
Btw, I'd be cautious ever ordering from a Lil Caesars ever again. There are roaches at the restaurant I work at.
