The invisible girl.

It's my first day of work and you get that terrifying yet exhilarating feeling. You know how your totally excited because it's a new job but your also really afraid because what if you don't do well.

I walk in the door and automatically they ask me if it's ok to start in another 30 mins. I was like sure I guess. I mean what am I supposed to say no you have to let me work now?? So I waited and finally I got to start work. She showed me how to clock in and pointed around the screen then left. That's it that's all the training I got and was left on register taking all the orders...needless to say I had to ask for a lot of help because I didn't know where anything was. Most of their "help" consisted of doing it for me. And then worst came to worst. I needed to know where more coffee was because I had ran out and I needed to make some more so I turned to the person who was supposed to me "training" me and asked her if she could help me. Then I waited for a reply. She happened to be talking to the store manager (which I have recently learned is the owners daughter and in the  exact words of a fellow employee "I want to smash her head on the grill and close it.") manager lady sees me looking at them, waiting for my reply about help, and she snaps. "Don't be looking over here get to work." I simply reply "I was asking for help." "Well then ask." "I did ask." "Don't you talk back to me if I'm correcting something while your training you just say thank you." At that moment I could have walked right out that door or thrown the coffee at her I was so mad. That's not how you treat new employees on their first day. 

Well the rest of the day wasn't much better. No one talked to me or said hello I just went on my way. Taking orders on a machine I didn't understand and cleaning the tables 50 mil times because that's the only thing someone showed me how to do. And I was supposed to stay busy. Let me tell you when they said your done I was out of there faster then a speeding bullet I didn't even stop for a refill of my drink or to go to the bathroom. Nothing I just wanted out of there. 

They are rude heartless people not just to me but even the customers! 

But really they just ignore me like I'm not even there.

  1. Well, that is quite an interesting story! Non the less, I would get the hell out of dodge! That is in no way shape or form a way anyone especially an employee should ever be treated. Yes, if you were a dick then maybe you deserve it but on the first day, when you don't know the systems... No excuse to treat someone in that way.

    Before things get worse, because believe me they will get worse before they get better, I'd bounce ASAP

    1. You know it! It's harder then it looks to find a job. As soon as possible may come a little later in the future then I want.
