Right now, I'm in my last week working at Haven. My employment there officially comes to an end on October 31st, but I finish work on the 28th. (three days holiday pay to finish the month) Throughout the summer, I've coped fine with the shop being ridicilously busy and having to do all the work by myself whilst supervisors sit in the back drinking coffee... Anyway, that changed yesterday. When I started my shift at 2.30pm, the shop floor was a mess, the tills had barely any change and the queue was about a mile long. Worse still, all those on morning shift had gone, so it was just me on my own. Where was my supervisor? Go on, guess... :rolleyes:
After about five minutes of trying to serve on the till and people whinging they couldn't get service on the bakery, I walked off the till. I went into the back and grabbed my coat. When my supervisor asked what I was doing, I said "I'm not working like this. There's a queue to the end of the earth, people are complaining about the bakery, we haven't got enough carrier bags, the tills have no change... what do you supervisors do all day?!". The supervisor on the morning shift was still there and did not take this criticism kindly. Somehow, they managed to talk me into staying... God only knows how.
Anyway, have you ever walked out in the middle of a shift? Just literally said "right, I've had enough of this", gone to get your coat and skedaddled off the premises?

If customers are complaining, you grin and bear it. You can't just leave. Try having a mile long queue of customers all wanting lattes and running out of milk. That's hard, but we managed it.
Oh yeah, i've done that before... a couple times. Then there was once, I went to lunch and never came back, that was on the second day too. One time when a job called to ask if I was coming, I said no and that was the last of that. And twice also, I got drunk at like 10am, went to get some starbucks, passed work on the way, (both times they were stores) bought something and when they told me i should be working I said, I know, and that was it.
Cunt.
I'd have loved to have seen the look on their faces. Bet it was priceless.
You know what? I wish I'd have seen it too. But I was absolutely livid and I just stormed out, I didn't even look at them!
I did have a little laugh in the car park though, muahahaa.
and realising you have just walked into a crime scene, and the reason your boss isnt answering his phone, has something to do with the fact that he's still tied up from when he was held at gunpoint
i've never walked out of a job before well not dramatically anyway. My very first job serving customers and it was really busy and they were getting arsey and things got mixed up that i just walked outta da room n burst into tears. :crying: but hey i was young but i've learnt to be a bit more ballsy now lol :razz: my second job i liked but it was crap pay so i never returned after xmas and my last official job i heard they were sacking people just because n i knew i'd be one of them as i wasn't part of the "in-crowd" i.e. kiss the managers ass so i sent them a resignation letter citing uni commitments hehehe. pretty lame i know but just thought i'd say my piece
