I'd like to point out first that I'm a male on the autism spectrum. I can't tell if I'm being overly sensitive about the situation or not.
There is an assistant manager (the shift leader) that I work with who seems disgusted with me every time she sees me. She barely communicates with me and when she does, she sees frustrated with me! It's only me. I barely talk and I ask questions. I don't understand why she is like this towards me. No one else is like this towards me.
A while ago, I was told by one of my managers that I don't need to ask before using the bathroom because it's something I need to do. So today, I decided to go pee without letting the shift leader know. It was the best time because it was a slow day and we had zero orders for a while. When I come back, the shift leader is giving me a face of disgust asking me if I asked before I left to the bathroom (I didn't even take long at all). I said no. Then loudly, she tells me that I need to ask next time. All I said was “okay” then she repeats it louder like I didn't hear her… I tell her “okay, I got it” this time I'm obviously frustrated and she's like “do you?!” ….This felt like bullying to me. I can't even remember what I said after that but I gave an attitude. I don't like being talked down on like this. It happens a lot because I'm quiet and awkward. Because I gave her an attitude I was told to clock out after someone's break. This upset me so bad I actually called the suicide hotline when I came home.
I hate work, and I hate working at fast food. I'm only 17 and I have been denied for working anywhere except fast food. 1/3 fast food places I've worked at had a good environment and it's so hard finding a job. Why do people work at jobs, especially fast food, if they can't even stand harmless people like me? I always see people like this and it confuses me! I do not enjoy working 7-8 hours to get treated like ass for doing absolutely nothing or making a mistake. I know if I quit, I might just end up at another fast food place. I have zero passions and don't know what to do because I can't just quit. I need money for appointments and such.
