I Work(ed) in a Restaurant, and Now I Understand...

[KSUViolet06]

I remember being REALLY annoyed with the "Pizza Hut is my life" management staff.

The ONLY time I ever no call/no showed there was when I was SCHEDULED TO WORK ON MY PROM NIGHT.

There were 3 other HS kids working there at the time. In FEBRUARY (4 months in advance), he asked all of us when our respective proms and other important dates were (ex: graduation) so he could schedule around them (and put people on who weren't in HS).

I reminded him on like 3 separate occasions that my prom was on this date.

A week before prom, I'm checking the schedule to see when I work so I could schedule my hair/nail appt around it.

I see that I am ON THE SCHEDULE to CLOSE THE STORE (4-midnight). ON PROM NIGHT.

I called my manager and his response was pretty much "Not my issue." WTF? You asked me for the date 2 weeks ago to double check and make sure you DIDN'T put me on.

He basically told me I'd better come to work or I was fired.

Guess who was not at work on prom night? Me.

I didn't get fired though. I came in to work that Monday and he didn't even say anything. LOL.
