one small thing I love about current gig is getting to tell tourists NOT to go to the nearby brunch spot that gamifies google reviews and has hilariously toxic management (even by industry standards).

it’s the little things.

my urge to post anticapitalist memes to the GM group chat when everyone’s at their stores, making no money bc snow, and disgruntled about it
February 20, 2025 at 3:02 PM
i realize I should be glad I’ve graduated out of the “can you start tomorrow? great, come wearing black with 2 forms of ID” job interviews, but I am still a little irritated these places don’t just offer me their jobs immediately. like, what, you DOUBT me? you doubt ME??! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM???
February 13, 2025 at 11:57 PM
so it’s been icing for about 12 hours straight, on top of dumping snow yesterday, and my grand boss just said in the group chat that it “really means a lot to him” that some stores’ managers pressured their team members to show up and open.

I did not do that, obv. I can’t get out of my driveway.
February 12, 2025 at 1:22 PM
found out my step-boss at work is leaving in a week; also found out the girl whose store i trained at who can’t stand me is gunning for his job.

so i guess now it’s a race? god, i don’t want that job. but i also don’t want to spend a single day w her as my boss.
February 7, 2025 at 12:53 AM
welp. dad took the fed buyout. i need to know if he’s just fucked him and ma for the rest of their lives bc he has 7 days to take it back so i’m just frantically googling while he’s talking about celebrating and i can’t believe this, i can’t fucking believe this
