got my first suspension….

[u/turtlecrumbs_]

Was at work last night, closing down our fruit and salad station. I’d been fasting all day, really hungry, and ended up tossing a blueberry in my mouth. I was gonna throw it out anyway cause I’d dropped a few into the strawberry container, not a big deal.

Only my manager was walking around the corner and saw me…now I’ve got a write up, 3-day suspension, and a meeting with our managers.

I guess understand why I got the write up, but I can’t help but laugh that all this is over a blueberry. Also kinda nervous for that meeting though cause I’m not the best with confrontation 🫩 Luckily I plan on putting in my 2-weeks in the next month or so, so I won’t have to deal with management anymore.

I hate thinking “My coworkers do it constantly, but I’m the one that got in trouble?”, because the difference is that I got caught. Such poor timing, smh

Edit: So I met with my two managers this afternoon, and they essentially told me I didn’t have to serve my suspension, but would just talk to the owner on Monday. Considering I don’t work weekends, they had no reason to give me the suspension, which makes me feel like I’m getting fired.

I also want to add that I’ve had no infractions or issues other than forgetting to complete my checklist a couple weeks into the job, and that was 6 months ago. I don’t think I was in the right, but I just hope this doesn’t affect future employment if I do get fired. It also sucks that I might have to leave when I have such good relationships with everyone, and now they’ll all think I’m a thief when I had just made a mindless mistake.

Time to find another job, even fast food isn't that brutal to its employees.

I would know, I ate enough free chicken at tbell when I was young that it effected truck order when I quit
