hi all...
i'm new here. i'm a waiter at an ihop in southern texas, and MAN do my co workers suck!
where to start? the cooks at my restaurant are invincible. they can literally do anything they want at all and will never be fired. the morning cooks carry on affairs in the walk in cooler with their girlfriends and nobody says shit to them. one of my respectable co workers told me she was pulled into the cooler and practically raped (no actual sexual contact, but hands went places that they shouldn't have been in).
the night cooks...well, there's so much. two of them (jose and ruben) were arrested for sexual harassment in the middle of a shift because they "sandwiched" a girl--basically, hugging her from either side and not letting her out of it. another one (anthony)does coke during work. yet another also does coke during work, but managed to impregnate a 17-year-old girl there. he's 32, by the way. she's confirmed, also, that the conception most likely took place in the very back, dry storage, during business hours. i've been sexually harassed by all but one of the cooks, and that's just because he's only been working here for three days. we had to hire another cook because one of the more experienced ones (jose) walked out after he found out that the head night cook (chino) was outside for an hour drinking with his buddies. of course, he wasn't reprimanded, so jose just left. i can't be mad about that though, because i hated jose and wanted him to die. being gone is just as good though.
then there's my manager, micah. she deserves her own little paragraph because she just sucks so much. i've had times when i ran out of quarters or ones when cashing people out and had to go outside in the parking lot to get her because she's talking to her friends and doing nothing. there have been times that i walked in on her when she was smoking pot in the back. she's told me she was going to go take a nap a few times and to wake her up at five. when she found out that i don't drink and never have, she hid the fact that she had margarita in an opaque to-go cup with a lid and told me take a drink cause she wanted to know what i thought about it. i worked by myself once for about two hours taking ALL incoming customers, and she triple sat me without even offering to help with my sidework or set anyone up with drinks. no, she was sitting in the smoking section having a cigarette. in fact, beside sitting people and cashing them out, she does absolutely nothing besides smoking cigarettes.
then there's melissa. she's the aforementioned 17-year-old mom. she just annoys the crap out of me. she's snotty, condescending, a know-it-all, rude, and worst of all, inconsiderate. i've gotten to the point where i can't even talk to her without walking away in the middle of one of her sentences. she once grabbed a ketchup bottle out of my hand and told me i was doing it wrong. she then proceeded to fill the rest of the ketchup bottles the exact same way i'd been doing it. i was sort of confused, because i was wondering if she realized she just tricked herself into doing the rest of my work for me, or if she was trying to prove something. she talks about how "high class" she is constantly, while i can barely hold back the fact that she had an illegitimate baby with a 32-year-old cokehead who'll work at ihop for the rest of his life because everybody else drug tests. i always want to tell her that her "husband" isn't happy with her, and that he only stays with her for the sake of the child. i could go on forever, but it'd probably just annoy everyone here. so this is my stopping point.
whew...sorry that got so long. i've been needing to mention it to someone besides my husband for awhile. he's getting tired of listening to my work drama. it's nice to be here.
