"Before you leave, I want you to stock all the cups, lids, ice, and fridges."

"it's a multi million dollar corporation, they can afford fifteen minutes" *purposely clocks out 20 minutes late in spite*

lol as soon as it’s my time i’m fucking gone, unless I’m in a giving mood. they can’t hold me past the end of my shift.

As my old manager used to respond with when I would ask if I'm good to go, "You're a free human"

Same. I gotta be in either a giving mood or a holiday pay mood (like today)

as a shift I try not to hold baristas over whatsoever. but I'm gonna ask baristas to leave their stations stocked and clean for the next person. do you wanna come to bar with no milk, no lids, no ice? chances are that's a no. and if each barista takes one part of restocking at hand off.. no one person stays more than an extra 2-3 minutes
Meinax151 [OP] 23 points 2y ago
Ayyyy I'm just being funny man 😂 I'm not opposed to any of that restocking, just saw the gif and reminded me of an old shift that said this to me once lmao

truth be told I'm kinda big dumb and just downloaded reddit so I was trying to respond to the other comments and goofed up 😂😅 but it's a funny gif

“Just take out these three trash cans, you’re amazing this is why you’re one of my favorites”

Edit: I’m cooked and thought we were talking about managers
iWantToBeARealBoy 10 points 2y ago
My fave is when my manager is leaving 10 minutes early and they’re like, „need anything before I go?“ and our ONE trash can is completely full and I’m like „yah can u take the trash out for me?“ and they‘re like, „Um, sure...“ but then go to the back, then walk out and leave without doing it lmfao.

Lol this is so funny bc our dayshift literally drops everything and leaves when it’s their time. No stocking or cleaning 😔

When I come in after this particular set of people in the morning, I always have fridges empty and milks all scattered around, most inclusions empty, and no lids!!!! And they always are like: "it just got busy" Bish what? So things shouldn't be so empty!

I dont ask anyone to stay 1 minute after their shift ends, but I dont let people go 3 minutes early either. Also big props for Bonesaw, or literally any Macho Man reference

Me ending up leaving 10 to 15 minutes late, cause she wants me to get ice, make sandwiches, restock fridges, and bake more cookies, just real quick before I leave

I generally tend to be okay with staying till the time I scheduled till but if I have to stay more than 5 minutes pass my scheduled shift I am the type of person to voice my annoyance. Sure, the times I scheduled I should stay for but if they are going to schedule me let’s say 10am-6:30pm but keep me like 15-30 minutes extra because they need a “trash run” or “a full restocking of all the store” then I straight up say something, just like they schedule us for certain shifts we schedule our lives around that shift, I don’t care if they are struggling with orders and they have someone on lunch still, if I have to go somewhere afterwards and have plans that should be respected, it’s one thing if they ask if it’s okay I stay extra because they really need the help but if they expect me to stay that’s when I get pissed off. One time I had one minute left so I just asked my shift if she wanted me to fill the ice bins really quickly before clocking off and then she told me to clean the drains before I’m off and I straight up told her I’m off in a minute that the most I can do is something quick like filling the ice bins or replacing the sanitizer

I literally said this to a partner the other day 😂😂
Meinax151 [OP] 2 points 2y ago
Did you do it in a macho man voice?
cicknollis 2 points 2y ago
It would have been a shame if I didn’t hahaha
Me and a few team members were talking about Spider-Man the night before and I was presented with such a perfect opportunity given the time haha
