So!!! Because I didn’t want to work until 11 PM on my birthday, my coworker Alex offered to take my shift today, and I would take hers. Mine was 1600-2300 and hers was 1700-2100. So I was totally pumped to only have to work four hours.
So I get there and Alex is arguing with one of the managers, as usual, being a giant bitch. She’s 16 years old and has a horrible attitude and has been fired from essentially every job she’s ever gotten. She got written up again today and the managers were discussing the fact that they might fire her because of her behavior.
So, instead of finishing her (my) shift she stomped her feet, yelled “I QUIT” and just...left. Which left only me and one other person who was going to be leaving at 2000 to handle saturday night dinner rush.
Which was hell.
My manager, Julie, who has always been very good asked that if we couldn’t find cover for me if I could stay until 11 PM. I told her not to bother trying to find cover since they were already up to their elbows in trying to find people to cover Alex’s shifts for next week, stayed until 11. My feet hurt like all heck!
