This sounds like it might be wiki vandalization because there’s no source but I am choosing to believe it. He’s wrestled all of them. Including the cook.

sometimes my job is like. i am being hunted for sport. if i mess one thing up, i will die. everyone here hates me and is refusing to even be civil with me and that's affecting my workload.

and then other times i finish all my work for the day at 10 AM and can just dick around and get paid $30 an hour to do it.

#i made a post a while back about my first office job about how easy it was in comparison to retail or fast food or hell even being a tutor #and someone in the replies pointed out how office jobs can also suck and be soul crushing in their own ways #i never responded to that person bc tbh i saw it like two days later and felt awkward about responding #and to that person: you are so right. but also i still prefer this. it's awful. it's horrible. but if i have to pick a poison. #then i'll pick this #but you were sooooo right #anyways. why does everyone act like everything is life or death at my nonprofit that encourages college students to do community service

I just end each of my work days completely fucking exhausted, which I feel like a lot of people would scoff at since I work a tech support job where 90% of my work day is spent sat in front of a computer answering phones and emails to, well, provide technical support. But it is so draining, especially since I am so introverted. My throat hurts from talking so much. I am so tired. I've still got two days left this week and those two days are PACKED with more meetings and I am so tired.

#i feel like people are always like ''office jobs aren't hard'' but it's like . . . they are just in a different way #i have also worked retail and food service and at a gas station #so i know those are also unforgiving hells #but this is also very exhausting and has its own challenges too #all labor is labor. we should be united together against the billionaires who do fuck all while profiting off us

obviously line-cooking is not for everyone but. ohhhh my god it is so much fun. like aside from the restrictions of Must be physically able and Must be comfortable with knives and fire and heat and Must be able to multitask efficiently under pressure and not take it personally when u get yelled at. LIKE ASIDE FROM ALL THAT. it is so fun and so straightforward. every day i wake up at ass o’ clock in the morning and put on my hat and chef coat and go to work and when i get to work there is a prep list that tells me what needs to be prepped and how they should be prioritized. NICE! i slice a million fruits and roast a million vegetables and portion a million meats and print TEN MILLION labels. if i ever forget how to do anything i can consult the RECIPE BOOK (ipad). and then once prep is done i go on the line and wait for tickets on my screen and if there are tickets i MAKE THE ORDER and pass it down the line. and if i ever forget how to make/plate the food there are cheat sheets taped to the wall in front of me and other cooks right next to me. and i do that until the restaurant is closed then i clean up and go home. rinse and repeat. farengar voice Simplicity itself

#antalks #and my coworkers are so fun and nice and half of them are gay. my manager is a hot butch #is it hell on earth when the kitchen is buried in tickets and ur out of everything ummmm yeas #but im a freak who likes to keep busy and sweat. food service 🫶🏼

suddenly super self conscious and hyper aware of the fact I use The Exact Same Script for Every Single Customer and I fear it's very awkward and stilted and robotic, esp. if it's a larger group of people all ordering separately but going into one movie together oops

like all my coworkers can do lighthearted and off the cuff banter no problem and mix up their scripts to keep it fresh and authentic, but I am just stuck with My One Script and cannot deviate from that lest I mess up the order and get tongue-tied 😭

how do they do it?????

#another clue i might be either simply socially awkward as hell or autistic or #some other form of neurodivergent that makes it difficult to be social and communicate The Right Way #the past couple days have been a bit rough in that regard at work orz #i'm always so WHU-?!!! when customers try to make small talk aughhh never know what to say #because it's not in my script!!!!!??? help???? #on the other hand i can communicate with my coworkers just fine... 🤔 #maybe that's just the usual when working a food service adjacent costumer facing job? idk? this is literally my first real job #and i have no idea what i'm doing. just winging it 100% orz

me: a total Vault Dweller gremlin pallet-deep in work dude comes up to ask something. Doesn't know much english.... so he does what every damn SciFi novel in the 50s dreamed of - he whips out the tiny pocket computer his phone, types into Google Translate and shows me the screen

Skip ahead maybe 20minutes. He is back again, having typed up much on the screen. Not only that, he's expecting a more complex? answer so after showing me the screen, he actually hands over the phone so I can type answer into translate

HE CAME BACK THAT TIME TO ASK IF I'D LIKE A SNACK OR A DRINK AND THAT HE'D GLADLY BUY ME ONE

I was tryin so hard to not start laughing at this new way someone has found a way to attempt desperately making friends? flirt? hit on me?

like... mah dude you are so barking up the wrong tree... but also, dayum son, props!

#boring IRL #Customer Service Hell #before anyone rolls up tryin to cancel me - i work retail and this was on the clock #he specifically came up offering to buy me a drink and I politely waved my bottle “oh I've already got mine thanx!” #he came back later offering a more complex candy/food/gift offer to buy #so this was a more than once repeated offers which were politely turned down #boys don't confuse a woman's Customer Service Voice™ politeness for her wanting to jump your dick

love when a corporation makes me fill out a survey about an employee's service. they'll do a normal job and i'm like yes they went above and beyond. they saved my life. they resolved my childhood trauma. they cured all my woes. they fixed my depression. they restored my faith in humanity. they can do no wrong. five stars. and submit

#customer service #inspired by the survey they give me every time i use a food delivery app #the driver set the food down at my door as instructed? #sure yeah the text they sent me to say they delivered it counts as a friendly greeting #they went above and beyond by just surviving their shift #honestly they could eat my food and i'd still give them a thumbs up #like hell yeah dude you deserve it
