OT-another bad attitude story

Tina posted a story about evil Jazzersize people, and here is one from me from yesterday on stupidity and bad attitudes!!

I work at a restaurant. At work, there was a new girl, she'd been there about a week, but I've never worked with her. She kept messing things up all day, and she's new, so it's okay and I helped her out as much as I could, but I couldn't stand over her all day. So, she'd punch something wrong in the computer, and they'd make it wrong, and she would tell them that she did it right, they did it wrong. She did that to one of the managers a couple of times and she had an overall bad attitude...and my manager was getting more and more angry, esp b/c it was about 5:30 and we were super busy. So, said girl was supposed to clock out at 6. We NEVER clock out on time, we are always late, esp since she and I were the only ones out front at the time serving, and it was 5:30 C'MON! Dinner rush??? Ever heard of it?? So, she clocked out WITHOUT the managers say so(BIG No-No), and then she started complaining of how she was working off the clock, and that isn't fair, blah blah blah...And then she started talking about my manager to me, and I was like "Well, we're really busy, and she worked til 3:30 with me this morning, so she's probably just not in a good mood, but she usually is..." and she kept yapping on and on about working off the clock and how she didn't need this, and finally, my manager said "Come here miss." and told her to go home...and I was left, by myself, during dinner rush...

I HATE STUPID PEOPLE!!!

I'm guessing she will or else she'll quit. I know that one manager never wants to work with her again, and there was another one out front, but she didn't have to deal with "the mouth" b/c she was going back and forth to the office doing stuff...PLUS we had inspections yesterday, so if the inspector had been there, we would have lost tons of service points for that girl....

I have worked at restaurants for 2 years now, and I hate the customers, but I love the people I work with..like, my brother in law owns a Mexican restaurant, and that is how I met my BF, and plus it's a small restaurant, so about 6 people work there normally, and I love going there to work...b/c all the people there are like my family...so I don't mind working so much, and where I work now, I do like the people, and with the managers, you just have to be able to take constructive criticism...they tell you to "do this", even if you were about to, just say "Okay." or "I am." and do it, some people get smart with the managers, and there is no point....but you're right, crappy pay and crappy hours, and mean, cheap customers..I used to let them bother me, and a couple of people made me cry, but now when I go to work, I am like a machine--if they don't like the job I'm doing, yeah, I'll get the manager or another server. Does me just fine b/c I know people who complain the whole time trying to get a free meal will either leave me a 50 cent tip, or stiff me completely. I have actually followed a customer who was not poor(i understand cases like that), or teenagers, who I gave my best job to, and who complained about anything and everything basically trying to get it for free... to give them back a 50 cent tip saying "If that's all you can afford for the great service I gave you--keep it. You obviously need it worse than I do."

And with the clocking out, she's worked there for a week, and they told me the first day "Don't clock out until they tell you!!" So, she should have known that..

she was just lazy lol
