This Has Got To Be Some Awful Joke....

So, I work at the Applebees here in Helena, and I started as a hostess. They "bumped" me up to server, talking like it's some sort of promotion, but it seriously doesn't feel like one. I mean, if I make a terrible server, they can "bump" me back on down to hostess. I was working from 10:30 a.m. to 8 or later with usually only a half hour break around 4 to eat, and I was fine with that. I had no problem with working that many hours a day. I was making almost 400 a paycheck, not including tip out. I busted my freakin' ass and I would still be busting my ass if I had the time to bust my ass. Monday fucking night I was ON TIME FOR MY SHIFT and my co-worker (we'll call her Ashley for privacy reasons) was late. She wasn't there yet. My boss screwed with the seating chart changing the sections around. Guess who had all the empty tables, and guess who he moved into a section that was entirely full. I'll give you a hint, the person who was on time didn't have any empty tables, and the person who wasn't even there yet had the nearly empty section. THAT IS SUCH BULL SHIT IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!!!!! "Ashley's" section should have been the full section. Then, today, for my a.m. serving shift, I had ONE table and then they sent me home. I mean, I understand that they can't control business flow, but still. If it's going to be like this, they should lessen the number of servers on the floor and GIVE ME BETTER SECTIONS where I can stay longer and actually make money.

Sorry for the lack of eloquence in this post, I'm just so infuriated with my job right now that my I.Q. has literally dropped from the amount of anger I currently possess. I am one step away from a homicidal rampage worthy of making me into an episode of Snapped. Not like I actually watch that show, but I know what it's about enough to know that if I went on a homicidal rampage it would be perfect criteria for an episode.

I promise that I'm speaking figuratively when I talk about a homicidal rampage. I won't actually kill anybody. However, I might quit my job. Might as well. I'm not making any money!!!!!!

If you're still with me, thanks for reading. Have a good night,
Bre
