Business

Well aside from the oompa loompas that sang the lolly pop song at work today, work bit the big 'un. Everyone was rude today. That aside, I'm not sure if this would be proper working conditions. . .
okay. to start off, you cant bring your own drinks unless you put it in a cup- which you have to have rung up, ticket on it, name on it, with lid and straw. (that's fine) sodas you have to pay for, and the refills are to be charged as well.. water is free, and that's all that is free. If you don't know, AZ h2o is not good to drink and i discovered why for me. It'll give me migraines quickly! that's all that i can drink from there though is water, so instead, i break the rule and bring my own drink and hide it in the cooler where no one can see it. (kool-aid in a bottle) This I understand....to a point... We mess up on an occasional burger and have to remake it, leaving us with an extra burger. What do we do? throw it away. If i want to eat it, i have to ring it up. It could sit under the heat lamps for an hour (WAY past any holding times) and if i want to eat it, i still gotta ring it up and pay for it. Why? if its going in the trash, its wasted. if it goes in me, you have a happy employee whose not distracted by the rumbling of his stomach. and you obviously have to have money to BUY food there, but id much rather spend it on food that will last 5 days than 5 minutes. (sandwiches anyone?) and i STILL haven't gotten my check yet. (should be soon i hope) next up, whats just started today is they take up our cell phones before our shift. This bugs me. just to the point where it is hard for me to focus on working. cause with it, i know if my phone went off, and if i can at least see what it is, it may or may not be urgent, etc. Without it, i don't know. the one time i DON'T have it ironically would be the time something happens. (if you need me while I'm at work call the store phone, BTW) and now the BIGGEST issue I have so far is the fact I've been working here for a month now, and not once have i seen anyone take a break, nor have i been offered one. when i ask about the break procedure, one guy actually said "break? What break?" and soon found out through a little snooping that a break area doesn't even exist on the property. No table no chairs, no break. after working 6-8hours a day i should ave gotten one for the almost 9 hr shift. (at least sit down)
To sum it up-
no free drinks or refills
no eating old/mess-up food
no phones
no breaks

Someone is quite the grumpy person to make so many BS rules about a business they no nothing about. The gas is killing me, and the big guy says for me to not "run out of gas again" like i did it on purpose by running the streets wasting gas. i go to work home, work , home. i get 20 miles a gal, its 22 miles away and 22 miles back. about 44 miles a day, about 2 gal of gas a day in a 15 gal tank. that's about 7 round-trips per tank. ( my math is awful, feel free to check, i know i must ave made a mistake somewhere.) 40-50 bucks to fill up. so 80-100 $ a check on gas alone- IF we don't go anywhere else. Eh, ill just go pick off another 100 from my money tree in the back yard. . . Ya know. just like every one else.
