**It's been a while since I last posted, and a lot has changed. Some for the good, some for the bad.**
I've spoken in the past about my job as a Courtesy/Bakery/whatever Clerk they need me to be. Well, I (finally!) got my cashier training (after 3 years of waiting, no less) back in October 2017. I was offered to work a total of 8 days a month at our in-store restaurant, got a raise (plus tips!), and am able to work a much more diversified schedule. (Thank God) This means, I've had to learn our Aloha restaurant system, which everybody said was a pain to learn, when in fact it's really easy when you know what you are doing.
In the time since getting my training, I've seen our Kitchen Manager/Catering Manager leave and a new Kitchen Manager start. The old Kitchen/Catering managers left us just after the Holidays and this new one is an asshole. Thankfully, I'm not the only one who thinks so. He's not very friendly to any of us who work for him, only to the customers. He doesn't place orders for food items that we sell in our hot ready-to-eat case/condiments for the restaurant. You have to badger him, and constantly remind him. His attitude is sometimes like that of a 2-year-old having a tantrum and he's around my age! That is no way to treat your employees.
Had some good news last week about a manager that most, if not all of us working the cash registers at the front, dubbed The Witch. She was, and still is, the worst manager we have at the store. She has had temper tantrums in front of the customers, and cursed out the cashiers. She's got a racial bias (she's Easter European - not sure exactly where she's from, immigrated here as a child) and she actively acts on it. We're supposed to start counting the register that we're using about 10 minutes before the end of our shift, to ensure that we get off on-time. That never happens when she's manager. A friend has stayed as late as a hour because of her. Found out from that same friend this week that The Witch has been given Full-Time status. I've never been more inclined to throw bricks at somebody.
Let's just say that there's a lot of us who are not happy that she's staying.
