    My sister got her first job at McDonalds when she was 16. The manager was very rude to her and berated her for not knowing how to use the cash register. Then about a week later, she got the stomach flu. She had a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, you name it. So she called and said she would not be able to come in. The manager hung up on her without saying anything. Then a few hours later, the idiot manager calls back demanding to know where my sister is as "she was supposed to be there by now." She explained that she already called hours earlier saying she had the stomach flu. The manager said that was no excuse and said that she needs her in there now. My sister told her to frick off, quit on the spot, and hung up the phone.

    Years ago I went for a job at McDonalds. I was hired the same time as a guy. I did not want to work the register and he said he did. The manager said he would be a cook and I would be register ( despite me having actual experience on a grill and fryers ). She didnt say, but I think it was policy at the time. I didnt last two months.

    Not exactly a "quit on the spot", but back at the beginning of the pandemic when everything was shutting down. My company sent out an email saying we were "essential workers" and would keep up at least 40 hours a week through the shutdown. Right after, they send out an email cutting our pay by 15%. I had been looking for a new job since. I start my new job next week.

    Wow. Some places suck. We shutdown for about 2 or 3 months. As a supervisor I had to come in the weekend before we opened to help get the store ready. Typically they give us a small percentage raise every year. In 2021 to show they value their employees, the company increased everybody's pay by $1.00. it's a lot better than what they did to the staff where I had worked before; Golden Corral. I quit that years ago but kept in touch with some past co-workers. I guess they were understaffed and were having people from some positions work 2 and 3 positions but weren't giving them a pay increase or any benefit. The lady I worked with who had been a dishwasher for years quit after they screwed her over.

    First job was McDonald's. Worked there for 7 years. Made it all the way up to salary, though I was still training. Moved about 2 hours away and managed to stay salary. Store manager didn't want to finish training me and gave me three options. 1. Transfer to a different store. 2. Switch to overnights only. 3. Drop back down to shift manager with a pay cut. I took option 4 and quit.

    This was when I was in my early twenties but I got a job at RadioShack and I was so poor, I couldn’t afford much clothes. Pretty much the one shirt and one pair of pants were what I wore everyday. Well I mustered enough money to buy one more shirt and I asked my manager what color shirts I can buy. He said white, black, and red. I wanted to buy red because it i didn’t care for the other colors. So I went and bought the shirt. Well, the next day I wore my red shirt and I was on the sales floor. Next thing I know, the same manager is literally screaming at me in front of customers that I shouldn’t wear red because ONLY managers wear red. I literally took off to the break room fuming. It was starting to get busy and I literally just walked out and never turned back.

About 4 months later I finally get a job in healthcare working as a hospital med tech. My boss at lowes refuses to give me days off to go to orientation on the grounds of "youve been here for a while and need to show some loyalty if you want to stay here part time" (my initial plan) to which I reply "get fucked" and walked out.

    I had an a-hole manager. He abused me of stealing when the register was short and threatened to call the police. Now, I know typically a cashier alone and management have access to the drawers but.. the company made everybody leave their time cards by the computer so anybody could've taken them. It turns out that when drawers were off it was actually somebody who worked on the kitchen using those cards. But that particular day the drawer was so short because the opening manager didn't do the change over correctly. And when the a-hole informed me the next day, he didn't even apologize.

    I used to work the night shift for a shipping company at an airport. I worked outside with the airplanes, and I had been trained on every piece of equipment we had outside, as well as almost every airplane. I was even captain qualified, which meant that I was trained to organize which containers went in/out of the aircraft if they needed me to do so. But despite all of those things, I was still getting the same pay as the guy who had just started working outside. The straw that broke the camel's back? The fact that I hadn't been getting a break during my shift. For an entire week. I talked to the person in charge of scheduling and told her: "hey, I haven't been getting a break because I don't have the time to stop. Can you change the schedule a bit so I get a chance to at least eat?" And she basically told me to suck it up and deal with it. I asked multiple people to talk to her about it but nothing changed. It got to the point where I would break down crying after work because I was so exhausted. I quit soon after she told me to deal with it for the 3rd time and I haven't looked back since.

    I worked at a restaurant. There were loads of issues leading up to this point but this is the story of when I just left them hanging. I had a second job as a lyft driver and a very large music festival was coming up. I really needed the money from lyft because my husband was out of a job. I also new I would not be able to get that weekend off because it was already made clear that no one could. So I told my boss that I will work my shift, but I have to leave immediately after to Lyft I would not be able to cover or stay late. He agreed. One week before the festival he comes to me and says that he made a mistake and gave 2 of my coworkers the weekend off so they could go to the festival. And instead of going back on his word he was hoping I could work a 17 hour shift both Friday and Saterday. I was disappointed but I agreed because hey at least it would be overtime. I would make a loss but with the overtime it would not be that bad. He then said that I would not receive overtime and instead he would switch my schedule to where I had 4 days off instead of 2. So not only would i miss the music festival and not be able to drive, but at the end of the week I would loose 2 hours of pay for this favor. Told him I would not be returning for my next shift.

    It was my first job out of college and it was terrible. One day I booked a week off to take my toddler for a followup appointment after his surgery. I had had the surgery done when I was on holidays but the checkup was 6 weeks later and a 7 hour drive one way and I still had a week of holiday owed to me so I had booked the appointment and my boss told me I couldn't go because it wasn't his problem that I had a sick kid, he said he had never taken time off for a sick kid yada yada yada. I pointed out that he had a wife to take care of his kids and he said it wasn't his fault I didn't have a wife. I walked to my desk, typed out a resignation letter and handed it to him. He was totally shocked. I also told him I now knew why no one but me had lasted in the job more than a month, I lasted just short of a year, and between him and the office manager, a major bitch, he would never have any long term employees. The office manager was not my manager but was determined to lord it over me and I had actually been asked during my initial interview if I could work with a bitch, I naively said Sure.

In the end I left and never came back because the manager was being a bitch and refused to let me take a taxi home. I was on late shift finishing at midnight, they paid for taxis home but no one was going in my direction and she wouldn't pay for me alone. I was a poor teenager with literally no money. I was forced to walk through the bad area in the dead of night.

    Got told i can either Quit or be fired because I had too much time off. now the back story: I worked 2 jobs in the same building, I'd start at 6AM with the cleaning crew till 10am, 9/10AM I'd start with the cinema crew doing about everything in the building - finish anywhere from 6pm to midnight mostly, but typically every other day 4pm till 3am, so I'd stay over then grind through the next day. I did this for 2 years and completely ignored the health issues this caused. What was the last straw was one of the few times I actually got to go home, we had a massive snowstorm - almost a foot of snow. When i let my various managers know i'm snowed in - can't get a bus across the city, can't get a taxi - couldn't even get a takeaway! when it all clears up (a few days later) get told I have a meeting with cleaning job area manager (cinema was super understanding, paid time off cause they know if i can make it, damn sure i'll be there). Got told others could make it in, pointed out they all live literally 5 mins walk away only boss & myself had to drive to work, other supervisor lived a few doors down, i live a 3 hour walk to work, then a 3 hour walk back & all other travel options was off the table, absolutely not advisable even if my knee wasn't wrecked from an accident they was fully aware of. Yeah, No. I was not opening manager anytime that week, I had turned around our failing weekly inspections, well liked amongst the crew and absolutely pulled my weight in both jobs (employee of the year, let alone month for about 6 months straight), could even smooth things over with the higher ups in the cinema over how poor the cleaning had gotten. Even gave up holidays & stuff to supervise another team at a different location on the few days i had free from cinema & their site.

I was the only bar back. It was my job to bring out food, clear empty glasses and bottles, get the bar the liquors and spirits they need, and reset tables.

The manager chewed me out for not getting the cocktail waitresses food to the tables on time and screamed at me in the bar that he could do a better job. I took my apron off and told him to do it then. He followed me out of the building yelling the entire time about how I would never work there again. “Good, you’ve got one person on shift to cover 4 peoples worth of work. Have fun doing it better.” When he looked back at the bar, omg the look of pure terror in his eyes when he realized the amount of people in the bar. Came back to pick up my check and tips the next week and the general manager told me he fired that manager for drinking a full bottle of makers mark every day he worked and continuously yelling at employees both in front of customers and in the back. 4.15 an hour was definitely not worth it.

So did the head of the department. requested a Friday off, and it was granted but reluctantly. I came back Monday to find the IT manager and the department head had both taken a week off.

    After being accused of lying by one of my managers, and after being treated like a criminal because I was a bit sick lately, the last straw for me was when my other manager hissed at me "If you don't take your apprenticeship seriously, please, go ahead and tell me." That was the last straw. I've powered through two days the week before with tonsillitis and on 2 hours of sleep before I couldn't do it anymore and went sick again the other three, and on this day I came in with an allergic reaction to being stung by a wasp INTO MY DOMINANT HAND because I still could make myself useful SOMEHOW. And then I get to hear this. I'm slaving away for this hotel, this COMPANY, and this is the thanks I get for this? Nah fam. I haven't done anything different since I started my apprenticeship February 2020 than cleaning rooms. Learned nothing but housekeeping. Slaved away because I hoped for better times. Nah fam. That was too much. I immediately marched towards the staff secretary and told her I want to be released from this hotel so I can continue my apprenticeship somewhre else.

My last shift my store manager sees me and im punching out, he asks when my next shift is, I said I quit because of verbal abuse from my assistant manager.

    I didn't rage quit but gave my notice as I had 300 hours of unused annual leave that I wanted have paid out. The final straw was that the hotel I was Working at were deliberately overselling more expensive room types and then downgraded the guests to a similar but cheaper room. The higher powers did not change the room rates. The receptionists and reservationists were not allowed to advise guests they were allocated a lower room type as the hotel was struggling financially. This was why the guests were being overcharged in a way to get more money. My work ethic and honest values were compromised due to this illegal practice.....and I'm a terrible liar so it killed me each time everytime I handed over room keys to a Room they were not paying for. BTW this was not a small roadside motel.... It was a 5 star inner city hotel part of a global hotel company.

    Worked as a trainee in a small bakery shop many years ago. Both the owner and his son (daily manager) would often talk down to me and make small mistakes into huge things. What made me quit was when I was asked to go get some custard powder. I saw to sacks wityh yellow powder in them, with nothing written on the sacks. Turned out that wasn't custard powder, but a corn flour mixture. After the daily manager berated me for taking the wrong stuff, I pointed at my thick glasses and asked him "can you tell the difference, because I can't". He then went into the bakery and yelled to everyone "yes! I'm a genius, I can see what the difference is!" Then the owner came over and told me "it's really rude and disrespectful of you to talk back to my son like that!" Yes, I asked what the difference was - and that was CLEARLY my fault! Shame on me for not having perfect vision, right? I never showed up for work again.

    I was managing all the requests coming into the IT department, using a system that was one step up from an Excel spreadsheet and wasnt designed to track new requests through a multi-step process. My director and I figured out how to "make it work". They tortured the director into leaving, and promoted a useless employee to a manager position... who had no idea what I did or how, despite multiple attempts to teach her. She kept changing the status on the requests and I kept asking her to please stop as she was screwing up getting it through all the steps. She threatened me with my job because I kept explaining what the impacts where to her "help". I almost just quit... instead I quit fixing things she changed, and found a new job. Turned on my notice a few days later... Since I was the only one doing it, it was amusing to watch the panic. I've never been happier.

It was a busy Sunday after a stressfull week and the fifth weekend in a row I had to work. It was me another co-worker and a manager I had a bad relationship with. It got to the point where I was talking back to him at least twice a day bc he wouldn’t get off my case and tried to make me look stupid in front of our customers. He would openly contradict me even if I said the sky was blue. Guy was riding my ass all day. I was exhausted from having to scramble to pack my things and deal with family issues on top of getting inventory up to snuff. It had been a very rough Sunday and I told my co-worker I was leaving after lunch as I couldn’t stand him anymore. I apologized for leaving them in a bind but if I didn’t leave I’d knock his teeth down his throat. Nice week long to pack and clean before the move.

During the tail end of the first lockdown last year, his job told/asked him to go to a place to train people in a windowless room that had barely enough room to let a few people sit. They said it was going to be around 4 people, but added about 4 or 5 more people a few days later. My relative went f this I'm not risking my health, I'm retiring.

I was told to come back in a week for orientation. I found out at orientation we were a glorified door to door knife sellers. Like one of those infomercial knife sets that "never go dull". The catch after we were given a sales demo was that we would have to purchase our own demo knife sets which was like 200$. I noped the fuck out. We didn't even get paid for orientation. What kind of business makes you invest in the company at retail value to work for them? They called me for a couple weeks which was even weirder. I wonder how many people from that orientation actually bought a knife set.

I walked out an hour into my shift. She asked "How's it going?" I replied "I don't know, but I am." She said "What?" I said "I'm going." Clocked out and walked out. In front of customers. She tried to ask why, but I wasn't gonna scream at her about her period in front of innocent customers. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

It sounded less like malice and more like they were in a situation they didn't know how to handle. Did your coworker at least get it right? Edit: To clarify on what I said, I meant that they didn't know how to act/behave/whatever around a trans person and it unfortunately lead to a poor decision on their part and rather than apologize, make excuses.

    I was offered the job of part-time receptionist at a local newspaper. They tell me I have to come in for two night shifts, three hours at most, just to observe and become familiarized with the newspaper business. I show up at eleven PM and they instantly put me at a stand with stacks and stacks of coupon inserts. For six hours solid another woman and I were forced to shove inserts into newspapers. No break, no food, only a couple of moments when the machines stopped and we got to lean on the coupon inserts. Showed up the next night thinking, “Well, at least this is the only night I’ve got left on night shift.” Same exact thing. Four hours in, during one of the machine breaks, the lady and I talked. We were BOTH offered the job of part-time receptionists. Smelling something fishy, we hunted down a supervisor. Turns out they pulled that stunt every month or so with women; tell them they’re getting receptionist jobs, then put them on ad inserts. We were just two of many they scammed; the rest quit after a week or so. We beat that record; we walked out that very minute. Never did get my paycheck for the ten hours I worked though. But considering they were only paying me three bucks an hour (the pay for “insert jockeys” and it was 1993), it wasn’t worth the gas to try to fight for it.

So I worked in a call centre and the amount of abuse I got from both management and customers put my mental health on such a low I am now on antidepressants. And 2 weeks before I quit I had covid symptoms I called and told them and they said I had to come in so I said there’s no way in hell I’m going into an office full of people to risk spreading covid. I had the delta variant and it fucked me up to where I had to stay off longer from a doctors instruction. And I found out that despite me being around the whole office it was kept quiet I had covid and it happened to others. I returned and my mental health was a bad way again and was told that it’s not an illness so I will loose pay. And backed managers talking to me like shit. And it was the last straw I went fucking mental with them called out all their bullshit on the spot and walked out never intending on returning. I am praying they underpay me so I can take their ass to HMRC and I reported them to gov for breaching covid protocol.

    I work for a Midwestern chain of farming/hunting/general merchandise type store. Not only does it feel like the only way the managers know how to communicate is by yelling at you regardless if there is any sort of fault on your end, if you clock in any later than the five minutes early that is the earliest they allow you, you get treated as though you're late. Of course, if they actually opened the store when it was supposed to instead of five minutes early it wouldn't be as much of an issue. I just hate my going out of the way to not be late to be assumed to be the norm and feel taken advantage of.

    worked for Walgreens as a pharmacy tech, this was when covid was bout 4 months in. manager there was an ass half the time, mor specifically, i was the only guy working as a pharm tech. but anyways i have a bit of a quiter voice, yes i was the quiet kid in school and hence each time at drive thru, at the window, i had to pull down my mask bcs ppl cant hear me, got yelled at for that. then while working, i told him schedule wise i am not avail weekends and friday after 6 pm, proceeds to schedule me till close on Friday. the final straw was when he bitched about me not wearing the scrubs provided to pharm techs, thing is, he never ordered me a uniform and wrote me up TWICE for this, so it was around new years, and while he was away, i resigned after a month of working there with no 2 weeks and on new year's rush. met him at thr store later to pick up my uncle precription, here he comes saying "why didnt you give a 2 weeks" my response, "when you fire me, do you give me 2 weeks?" Gerardo if you reading this, before chewing someone out for shit at least get your side right and learn to fucking not discriminate(another pharm tech, a female, 2 of em, didnt wear unifrom, hell camed in torn jeans and leggins, here im in black dress pants and a blue jacket gettin yelled at)

    Not a "quit on the spot" but more of a "in the process of quitting" moment; I currently work in a warehouse. I've been there for the last 3 years, with this being my 4th, as a bulk order filler (where you label and throw cases on the line), a backwall jammer (basically I walk throughout the entire backwall area where all the cases thrown on the line goes to before they're sent down to shipping and I make sure none of the cases get stuck anywhere as well as resetting anything that shuts down among other things), and currently a shipping jammer (where I'm on a floor above the shipping dock where the cases are sorted into different shipping lanes and I have to make sure there's no jams, mixed batches, and I have to walk through and call out lanes that are cleared for the next batch). The first two years were rather great as I had no trouble and I was rather a great motivator, as I have a tendency to dance and sing when I have my music blasting, and was considered the best and reliable for all that I've done. I impressed managers from other shifts as well as I am quick to learn and quick to adapt to wherever I'm assigned to. Then last year was when shit started going downhill. First, a couple of managers in my shift were fired and the merge operator (who handles a lot of stuff concerning the backwall and shipping) was also fired, much to my disappointment because he and I were a dynamic duo as we were both fast and accurate and managed to keep everything going even on days when we had a skeleton crew. Then near the start of summer, I was put on detailed housekeeping and one of the things I often do since I mostly just sweep up dirt and stuff from the floor is have my music going and I even dance while I sweep, which was rather more effective because I had more stuff cleared out that way. One manager caught me dancing my way to the nearest garbage can with a dustpan full of dirt and dumping it and he chewed me out for "playing around instead of working". I tried to explain that I was working but I always got interrupted (something I always hated but I usually bite my tongue). Then came the lecture of how I need to "get my priorities straight" when I came in 10 minutes late, even though I called in late due to a brief family emergency. I eventually got wrote up near the ending of last year all because I called in a few days off due to having a bad alternator and no other way of getting to work. Then finally this year, I started dealing with being screamed at by different folks, mostly maintenance, over petty shit (like having to call in maintenance for a broken conveyor belt and getting screamed at because I inadvertently called the wrong lane number and tried to correct it or getting screamed at for not hearing a call for a walkthrough due to loud mechanical noises) then it went from that to having one manager openly talk shit about me through the radio as well as an unknown employee doing the same a couple of weeks ago after having me running back and forth to the same areas over and over again, calling me incompetent and such, while I was having a flare up in my left knee due to a high school injury. I originally requested a shift change but when the shit-talking started, I pretty threatened my managers that either I change shifts or I quit because I won't tolerate it anymore. I already decided I quit a little after writing a rather lengthy note, because I had enough and there's no guarantee it won't happen again (especially since the managers are now begging me to stay) but I'm staying on long enough until I'm hired elsewhere then I'm putting in my two weeks. Word to the wise for both managers and employees: don't EVER push around and bully an associate, especially one that's your best, because you will regret it.

    I agree - I gave my 2 weeks' notice at a job I had grown to hate (management was the worst, but the regular employees were nice and hardworking). VP asked me for a list of my job tasks that would need to be shifted to someone else, and I gave it to her right away. First week - no one is sent to me for any type of training, passwords, templates - nothing. On Wednesday of the second week, with Friday being my last day, "I said, "You know, nobody's had any training to do this job yet."" The VP had an "Oh s***!" moment and I spent the next two days cramming information at people so they could do the job. I could have just kept quiet and left that Friday with nobody trained, but I felt like I left with my head up. My coworkers gave me a goodbye party, we all had pizza, they got me a gift and everything. It was awesome. And management was somewhere else that day, so they couldn't ruin our party.

    The best bosses I've had over my career have been female, but so was the very worst one. We were in a staff meeting. She had met my girlfriend once, and she was aware she was younger than me. By the time of this meeting we were engaged. The boss was on my case because she thought I seemed boring and stoic (I guess), so she thought I would not represent the business well in front of the clients. So she asked, "Does your girlfriend have a father?" Me: "Uhhh, yes she does..." Boss: "I'm surprised she's with you." Me: "Why?" Boss: "Because you're like a boring old man, so why would she want you unless she needs a father figure?" I stood up, dropped my pad and pen on the table, and quietly said "You have no right to comment on my relationship with my fiancée." I turned and walked out of the building, got in my car, and left.

    Just today i called my manager because she said that "I've been on my phone the whole week I've been working here" ( i used to work at a gym just sanitize the equipment and so on) which i havent since i actually needed the job so she said come on Saturday, i did, but the snow went up to my bumper which i thought was dangerous to drive on so i called in. Came to work today at 10am but the manager told me to come back next Saturday, i asked her why and she said that there is a small bit of employees so i will be moved to a different company, but when i said "What is really going on? I've been told i was fired and wanted to ask u if thats true" she said yes but the reason is because i said something inappropriate after we had a meeting (which never happened) told my friend about it and he said "Yeah she doesnt know how to do her fucking job and she was the manager for 3 months and fired half of the crew"

    When the lockdown started I worked at a amusement park. They needed to shut down so instead of keeping people to work they fired everyone with 0-hours contract. 100 others and me, I didn’t care because I already had a new job 200 meters away from my former work. The funny thing was that when they could open up again they didn’t had the workers for it. So they called everyone if they wanted to work there again. No one wanted that and they couldn’t open up because they were understaffed.

I put my very nice and deceptively inexpensive coat on and got my tail out of there. It might sound over the top but it's degrading, not.to mention discriminatory. What about those who have beards on religious reasons? Essentially they cannot work in either Hollister or my shitty old workplace.

    I quit my job because my boss decided it was okay to schedule me on one of my unavailable days. I had so many things to do that day because it was one of my days off, I got mad and told him that this text that I'm sending his should be taken as me quitting. It wasn't the first time they did this and sure wouldn't have been the last. If you truly appreciate the people who work for you, respect them as humans, ask them if what you're about to do to them is okay. I had already been working 10 days straight, with that day off being taken away from me, I would have been working 17 days straight. Now I've been enjoying 2 weeks off just relaxing not worrying about anything. It's nice.

    I drove city transit in Northern Kentucky. Went through and put in my lumps to get a pretty good piece of work. Well liked by the passengers and other drivers. Then the company just stopped hiring. We have something like 20% retention rate because of shitty schedules. I started getting long days like when I first started. I'm talking my normal shift was 3:00 P to 1:00A and I would be forced to come in at 6:00 A. Instead of hiring people they put a new schedule where almost everyone was working at least 5 hours of overtime. I called them out on it and got yelled at in front of the other drivers. I took about 2 months to get my shit in order before I put in my 2 week and posted it publicly on my social media. They called me the next day and paid me out.

    My friend worked for an insurance adjuster (small office). It was great for a while. Then the owner sold the business to retire. The new owner was not in the field so they hired a manager. This manager was a guy who HATED women. He looked for any excuse to berate them. He didn’t fire them, it’s like he wanted to have them there to make them suffer. He started yelling at the women (and NOT the guys) if they were not early, if they left on time, it got ridiculous. Now he particularly seemed to hate menstruation. He started tracking how many times per day the women went to the bathroom. He lost five people in one week for sh*t like this. One day my friend came in and all the women were pulled into a meeting. He started screaming at them, saying that someone flushed a “nasty woman thing” down the toilet and it got clogged. He said if someone didn’t own up right now he would take the cost of the repair out of each of their paychecks. My friend (who had had a hysterectomy four years before) got up, said “I don’t menstruate” and walked out to call a client. The manager started screaming at her saying he would dock her pay anyway. Here’s the good part. Said client actually misunderstood that the meeting was supposed to be a phone call and had shown up. Guess where he worked? The EEOC. The manager was was fired the next day.

The first day i was there they showed me what i'm gonna do: 1.Operate a cash registry that can't scan barcodes, i had to input and remember the product numbers 2. Order lunch for 15+ people and they expected me to remember all their preferences 3. Order syrups from the warehouse 4. Transport heavy crates of syrups to the shop from the warehouse 5. Count all the money exactly down to the cent 6. Basically operating the whole shop all by myself If i messed up number 2 or 5 i would get yelled at by all the workers (of course i messed up i was a dumb 17 year old) Also they said they wouldn't compensate my first two weeks of working there and also i was working in the shop all alone. All the other people were working in the warehouse and went to check sometimes if i'm doing the job right. I quit the job when i found myself crying before work, and i haven't gained even a single cent in there.

Everything I adapted to until they changed my schedule to work 10am to 11pm. I used up my benefits from insurance, used all my sick days and cashed in my pto. I quit on the 1st day back after my vacation and ended it right after my shift. An amazon worker told me something retarded during loadout so that's when I decided I was going to quit.

    In high school I worked at a nation Mexican restaurant chain. When I first started I was getting 15 hours a week since it was my senior year. After graduation I assumed they would give me more hours. About 6 months into working there, they only scheduled me one day a week, Taco Tuesdays. Some Tuesday’s I would work the full shift of 5 hours, but others I was told to just go home because they didn’t need me due to it being slow. The worst part about that was my grandmother gave me rides to work since I didn’t have a car yet. So I would have to turn right around and call her to come get me. My paychecks were shit due to working on two days a pay period. So I would bring home about $100 a month. On top of that they took out a thing called “uniform payments”. It was only a few bucks here and there, but it was still obnoxious because I had it paid off after only a few months, but they still took money out anyway. I also was pissed because they had a Christmas party and didn’t include me, nor did I get a Christmas bonus since I didn’t work enough hours. So after working there for a year and a half, I was informed by the manager that they were going to let me go because I didn’t work enough hours. I told them that they make my schedule and since it was the summer I could work more that one Damn day a week. They told me they would think about it and told me to go back to work. A few days later I applied for another job, interviewed and was hired on the spot. I walked in tall and proud that fateful Taco Tuesday as I walked up to my manger halfway through my shift and told them this was going to be my last day, and I was leaving due to crappy hours. They just looked at me and said, “Okay…”
