I am a bank teller. I am in danger of losing my job. I lived in Oklahoma my whole life. I have a car.
I work a cleaning job at a fast food restaurant. I walk three miles home every night. I do not have a car. I like to walk. I live in New York. I am a woman.
So which restaurant do you work at?  I work at a Chic-Fil-A. The best food service in the nation haha. I make sure everything is up to service as far as cleanliness. Have you ever been to Chic-fil-a? Yeah I have, but not very often. The lines always stretch around the corner of the road and the manager here is real tight on lunch time. Yeah, at most of the Chic-Fil-A's I have been to (including mine) we get very busy around lunch and supper times. Thanks to those that go outside and take orders, it doesn't take quite as long as it would a few years ago, but to those on a lunch schedule, it may still not be fast enough. Speaking of your job, how is things going there? Are they getting worse and are you still in danger of losing your job? I'm not so sure at the moment. I've kept my head down and made sure to put 110% of my effort into my work so that they have little reason to find fault in me. It's very stressful but I heard the manager tell their boss that they are short handed so it might be a good sign for me to stay. Hmm, that does sound very stressful. I am very sorry you are having to deal with this. I think you are doing the best you can. You can only control what you can control. You cannot control how your manager and boss handle things. I know it's hard since they hold your livelihood in their hands, though. Would you have any others job opportunities, if something did happen? Not at the moment, there's not much going on in my town here. Maybe if it does turn out bad you can show me the ropes for Chic-Fil-A? I saw they are hiring here so maybe that can be a backup option I would highly recommend Chic-Fil-A. The environment is extremely friendly. The pay is also pretty good for a fast food job. It does get stressful with customer service, but the co-workers and management usually keep morale boosted. I would love to talk with you further about it, if it comes to that. With your experience at the bank, you could be on the fast track to some form of management after a few months at Chic-Fil-A if that is what you decide.  I think you're right about that. And customer service is not so bad, I have had a few wild experiences with really upset people while being a teller. I even had a person try to rob the bank here!  Oh my. We have never had to deal with that. We've had our fair share of sketchy people, but no one has ever tried to rob us. Was that a traumatic experience? It was not as bad as people have experienced, he only handed me a note but did not notice that I pressed the emergency button already. He must have been very new because he did not even notice the security walk up slowly and tackle him down. How about you though? You might have not had any robberies but you do walk home every night, are you properly prepared for any sketchy people? I usually carry some mace spray with me just in case something happens. Being a woman, I realize that I am vulnerable by myself, but the community that I live in has a relatively low crime rate so I am in much better situation than a lot of women in other places. So far, I haven't had any experiences on my walks. Most of the sketchy people usually come in during the day trying to solicit people or beg for food.
