I work for a pharmacy delivery company in Los Angeles
-
They pay $15 an hour plus $1 per mile but the dollar per mile is about to go back down to 50 cents a mile because the inflation based gas hike is coming to an end
-
I tried to quit back in June but since my supervisor couldn't find anybody and I was still able to work, I kept the job at his request
-
My supervisor in June ended up quitting and now we have a new supervisor. I tried to quit in October because my mom was just diagnosed with dementia and I need to spend more time at home.
-
I gave my two weeks notice in the middle of October and they still couldn't find anybody so here I am about 3 weeks after my 2 weeks notice… My supervisor has begged me to stay an on-call person working on Mondays and Wednesdays, which I accepted because I have my brother to help with my mom and I do need the money
-
Now here's where it gets odd: last week, I walked into a pharmacy that I don't usually work at. The clerk at the pharmacy was really rude to me and we got in a bit of a screaming match. At the end of it, I ended up snatching her Starbucks (paper) cup of coffee away from her and walking away. Basically, I stole her drink and then went on on to deliver all the prescriptions that I was supposed to deliver for that day. After the fact I was like, “I never do that kind of shit” and part of me thinks it was because I'm just desperate for this job to leave me alone.
-
Here's where it gets really weird: after the screaming match and the coffee theft which would normally get me fired or at least reprimanded, I received absolutely no reprimand, my supervisor didn't care, and I got called into work today.
I don't know what this says about the state of the economy or maybe just this job but I find it so odd that I didn't get in trouble for basically theft and causing a scene at one of the pharmacies I was supposed to work at. It wasn't entirely unintentional because I'm tired of being called on by these people.
I know I need to quit and stop being so weak when it comes to the money that I make, but at the same time I'm just a little amazed. I don't know what to make of it. It blows my mind that I would be kept on after behaving like that. This doesn't feel like the America that I grew up in. Just wondering if anyone's had any similar experiences lately.
