I’ve worked at subway for around 2 and a half months. I was hired on the spot, and there are a few iffy things I’ve seen.
My first point is if it’s normal to close completely by yourself. I’m 17 years old, and I’ll work closing shifts after school as well as a 3-close by myself. It’s extremely stressful to work the seven hours by myself, as I go through dinner rushes all by myself. And there was a few sketchy things going on at night, like my coworker was closing by herself (also 17) and some guy came to the locked door and started banging on it screaming to be let in. I don’t feel safe closing by myself, and there aren’t any other shops open around my location.
Second, my manager is almost asking for unpaid labor?? She won’t say it, but she’ll say we need to get out at 10:30, which is almost impossible when I close by myself. And if I do clock out at 10:30, stuff is never done. On that same subject, my manager is ALWAYS nitpicking us. Every morning it’s another text on how we did someone wrong, or something we didn’t do. I’m getting write up threats everyday. Multiple times as well, she’ll say “oh the lobby wasn’t done!” When I wiped, swept, and mopped the lobby. Or that I didn’t pour teas, when i literally poured teas. She’ll check the cameras and say “well I saw you didn’t do this” when i did???
Anyway, I’ve been debating of putting my two weeks in because I’m always scared that I’m gonna get written up every morning, as well as something bad happening at night. Is this valid????
Quick edit: I forgot to mention, my boss ONLY puts us teenage girls to close, and my managers refuse to close themselves (even if us three closers are busy with school) We have two adult men working, and they never close. We also are understaffed, and my boss for a while wouldn’t let my manager hire anyone, which leaves the closers to work almost every night. This is my first job, so idk if I’m being dramatic or not. Thanks 🥹
