Work this past weekend
As some of you read, Thursday was a bad day at work. Friday I had off.
Saturday I was scheduled 6-12. I come in and the D-bag store manager took a cake order for Sunday. He knew before I left Thursday that I still had 5 cakes (mostly full and half sheet cakes) that I was going to have to do Saturday for Sunday pick up. He even looked at the cakes Friday, he knew what I didn’t have done. I called the lady right away, like 6:30am. And left a message saying I am in way over my head. I cannot do her cake too. It was a non-bakery person who took the order. I hope she has enough to find it elsewhere. I just can’t do it.
She ended up calling, Kinda upset. It was even a mgr that took the order, she knew he wasn’t bakery. I kinda blew up at said that I had notes everywhere saying to not take anymore orders for the weekend. I’m so overwhelmed and he KNEW I’m swamped. We short people and I’m ready to walk out the door. Then she said "you should take it out on the manager, not your customer". I said I know, I’m really sorry I don’t mean to take it out on you, I’m just so overwhelmed. Then she asked if a manager was there. Nobody was there.
I called my manager and left a message about this cake and that she might be calling to complain. I wasn’t feeling the greatest, I might not be in Sunday/
Manager called me later on. We talked. I was better now. I was almost done with the last cake and it was 11:30. The thing is she’s really upset too, about how they’re treating us (us as in me and her). That might be partly why I’m upset too, cause she is, kinda rubbing off? I told her I keep telling myself that this is the last big weekend. It should be dwindling down. So far for next weekend there were only 2 orders. The past few weeks there were tons of orders a week prior. I did tell her my only incentive to come in the next day was because I get time and a half. (I didn’t say this part) I did kinda worry that if I called in (first time EVER and I’ve worked there 7 years), that if this lady calls to complain that I might be in even more trouble. Or for some reason I’d have to make up for it, which doesn’t seem fair but who knows. I don’t want to work next weekend. She did tell me if I need a personal day to do it. I did tell her not to worry I’m not going to quit. I’m just so overwhelmed that that extra cake order just really pushed my button.
Well then, I’m not sure if I mentioned it in the other posts, but I’m still mad that he wants me to change my availability and me be the head decorator. I’m not there enough to be the head one and doesn’t senority matter?
I came in Sunday and it was nice not to decorate anything! I got caught up on baking, which is what the morning shift is suppose to do. There hasn’t been any baking since Wednesday. I baked everything. I thought, what if she doesn’t coming in tomorrow?
That’s where I am in a nutshell. I know things will be getting better now now that grad parties are getting done and over with.
