Excuse my language... but today's topic is a BITCH FEST. I am going to wine and complain for a while. You may want to look away.
So, Josh and I woke up a little late today. It was my fault, I set the alarm for PM, instead of AM. Don't laugh, you know you've done the same thing! :) Anyway, I knew we were going to be late for work because we still had to take the dogs out. So, I called in and said we were going to be a little late. We'll be there as soon as we can! Anyway, we showed up about 15 minutes late for work. The restaurant was already busy so I could tell I was going to have to dive right in (not the best way to start your day). We didn't get that far. Jamie (the restaurant's GM) told us to turn around and go home. He said he would call us after lunch was over and he was calmed down. He actually said something to the effect of "turn your 'butts' around and go home." How nice. He is such a pleasant man. Josh and I looked at him in disbelief and walked out. Josh and I will probably get fired later today... when he calls, of course.
Here is a little background on Jamie. I understand that this was my fault and the fact that he was a dick about it was mostly warrented. BUT... I must explain that he has had it out for Josh and I for some time now.
When Josh and I started dating, I had quit managing (surprise, surprise... I couldn't handle working so closely with Jamie) and Josh was about to get his promotion to management. We starting dating and things were fine. Apparently somebody complained that they were made "uncomfortable" by Josh slapping be on my bum one day at work. So, because of this, Jamie had to have a 'chat' with us. I told him that we were totally capable of keeping our hands of eachother... but I wondered why it was inappropriate for my own boyfriend to do that... but it was okay for a kitchen employee to grab my pant line and attempt to look down my pants (long story... but it happened). The incident with this guy from the kitchen was never taken care of after I brought it to Jamie, and the employee was a freakin' supervisor, no less. WOW. Does it sound a bit like he may be picking on us a bit?
Here is some more in case you still need convincing. There are at least two servers at the restaurant that are ALWAYS late for their shift. Not once a week, or even a couple times a week but EVERY shift they work. It could be anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes late. They don't call ahead of time and they don't provide an explanation for why they are late. They just walk in... unnoticed and NEVER repremanded. So... believe me yet? Yeah. He is a JACKA$$ for lack of a better word.
I am not too worried about loosing my job. I know that I can find something else. I love the people I work WITH... but I know I can go in a visit, or call them anytime. Josh, on the other hand, can't afford to loose his job for any amount of time. He is diabetic and can't buy insulin without insurance. That stuff is like $80 a vile. NUTS. So, I have decided that when Jamie does call (and I assume ask us to come in and talk), I will ask him to spare Josh's job. I was to blame today, I should be the only one punished. I hope he hears me out. Wish me good luck, everyone!
