Today I quit my job, then I put in my two weeks notice.
My job invloves a task list that I am supposed to complete within a certain amount of time. I close food ave at 8, and then I have until 9 to finish my tasks (not that they care if I stay later than that, but I do care). Apparently there are lots of people who have attitude problems in this town. So while I am elbow deep in dishes at work, around 8:20 or so, this black woman shouts through the open door "Can I Buy Some Popcorn?", to which I reply, I'm sorry, we're closed back here, and she shouts something back like "Well, what time do you close." and I tell her 8, all the while still doing my best to scrub dishes. She shouts about how the popcorn is all ready, and it wouldn't take much time to get it for her, and I inform her that I have a lot of cleaning to do, and I have to do it all before I can go home. I tell her I'm sorry, and that I'm closed. She then says, let me get your manager. And I keep scrubbing. The manager comes, (the manager who hasn't given me a break my entire shift) and after I tell him he can get it for her, he says, "No, you're going to get this woman two bags of popcorn and give them to her for free" and I say Ok. I get the popcorn for her, I appologize for my rude behavor (of my own volition), and I tell him "I quit. I'll finish my tasks tonight, but I won't come in tomorrow." He gives me this bull shit, feel good, nonsense about how it'd be a shame to lose me, and give it 20 minutes and let him know if I change my mind, and how he wouldn't say the same to any other team member. So I finish my tasks, and there is no way 8.50 an hour is worth so much bull shit (and there has been a lot of bullshit from this store), so I decided to give it two weeks, after all, I still want to get time and a half on monday... I told him my decision at the end of the night. I'm sorry if I think my time is worth more than two bags of popcorn to a black woman.
