Doing All work
Hello. I’m a waitress at a new place. I like it. People like me so much. Customer service in my country is a mess (know from local subreddit) and people are just amazed and always call me to say thank you for everything I’m doing. I love that appreciation and try my best to earn it.
Our boys love me. They always chat with me, joke with me and help. On the other hand, girls are bossy with me. I understand that I’m new and someone may try to teach me the specifics of this place but poker face “Go, do this”, “Go there” just sounds bad.
It’s been days since our cleaning lady is cursing me for doing a ten men job. Usual day is me running around and doing everything from taking orders, staying on run and cleaning tables while delivering coffee checks to barista while other girls just stand there, chatting, or spin around with some nonsense “I’ll make a visibility of hard work.”
I understand it can be just me but I mean totally different person (the cleaning lady I mentioned) noticed this, so it’s not just me imagining herself a slave.
Today I got complaints from manager that I forgot to place forks on the table multiple times. I did but I did it when doing ten men’s job and other girls just walking around with nonsense help I was already doing. 931
Like we got a hall. 3 tables finished and left. I was taking orders from two others and getting them into system. Meanwhile my coworkers could take plates from finished tables, clean them, get rid of coffee cups or anything… No, just staying or walking around the whole building like something was going on. When getting guest bills they just jump into my hands with “I’ll do that”. No, please. Let me finish my task and help me with doing your own work.
I’m a shy person and it’s only in my peak when I can say something or just say no, stand my ground. That’s the reason why I’m treated like that. What can I do? It’s getting impossible to bare. Should I just mirror their behavior and stop being an all-around-funnyass-girl? I mean doing everyone’s work just worsens mine so it’s like one person doing ten tasks but all are done so-so at the end. Managers at the end see that half done thing and it’s me who “failed”. You can’t fail if you just don’t do (speaking about those girls).
Help me prepare for my tomorrow shift. 13
