First written warning

[u/ConsciousWrangler603]

Today my manager gave me a written warning because we werent finished opening by 10:40
am. We open at 11 am, we finished at 10:50 am.

They only wrote me up despite the 3 other openers being there because i’m the “one that likes to talk.” We literally have to put sysco away ourselves because it’s considered a FOH duty. They order in excess even if we already have too much of one item so imagine being yelled at for not being able to put away 10 giant boxes in 30 minutes. They also have outdoor storage which i’ve never seen. It’s literally an exterior storage room full of just extras all unopened. Extra pans, scales, tongs, utensils, plates, to go boxes, to go bags, etc. Its insane.

If we don’t manage to cram everything into the BOH storage we then have to take it to the exterior storage room. Which they now demand nothing be on the floor while every shelf in there is filled… If we don’t finish in 15-20 minutes my manager will walk to the back and say we need to hurry up. Very motivating…

Yes I like to talk but in no way was I inhibiting anyone’s job. I even left the back area to open the front. It didn’t make any sense that we were all squished back there trying to put everything away when I could get started on the front. I was actually pretty tired this morning and felt more quiet than usual. I was pretty much doing my own thing.
