Good job everyone, I know Saturdays are hard, but we’ve made it through another one, I’m proud of y’all. For those who had today or tomorrow off, enjoy your day! Hope you come back feeling relaxed and happy. And for those working Sunday, i believe in you, and hope you get to see your favorite coworker/customers; and it’s one day closer to your next day off! Y’all are gonna do great :)

I was supposed to work mid shift only today and ended up working pre-closing/closing as we had few call outs with no coverage and ssv asked me if i wanted to work extra. Stupid me said yes.
Pre-closing was a nightmare as we had full lobby, one of the toilet overflowed so we had to close the bathroom leaving us only with 1.
No one is moving their feet as i am sweeping, ending up brushing most people shoes and asking some ladies few times to raise them so i can sweep under them. Yes lady i do need to get broom under your shoes, you got bunch of stuff under it. Yes i am sweeping your shoes as you're not lifting them high enough for me to get broom under you. Bunch of laptop cords/ laptop bags/backpack that i ended up brushing over as well.
Mopping was as fun, many would not move their feet, forcing me to shine them for them. Few did raise them but not high enough for mop to clear, i normally like it when i can get back of the shoe mopped as i am going under them but today wasn't that day.
Did i mentioned that we did record sale for Saturday this year?
Another day at fast food

Mhm! I worked 10 hours yesterday (sat) and I am working 12 hours today (sun). It will be a nightmare today and I can already tell it will be hell.

I worked 15 on Thursday, our district is OT approved so I figured I would get a fat bag

Damnnn, I honestly have no idea if we’re OT approved. I know my coworker said he was gonna try and work over but I don’t know if he did or not
