[QUOTE="debusentel"][QUOTE="Ilived"] Ok I work part time at a pizza hut and I walk in to start my work and I notice that the cook isn't here, and the manager is completely drunk. Got 2 drivers who don't know anything. All I know what to do is take customers calls/orders, and wash dishes, sweep, etc. No I don't know how to make pizzas, no they never taught me how to use the cash register but I figured it out anyway. So people are coming in waiting an hour(should take only 10-15 minutes) for their order while the drunk manager makes their pizzas. I basically had to give every single person a free extra pizza. Not because they were so patient, because the drunk manager was making all the wrong pizzas.
People calling back cursing at me saying I'm ridiculous and such. One guy even said I should stab myself right now(I laughed because it was funny). In the end, I had to clockout and I did because everyone left me alone just like that so I clocked out just like that. I quit though, going to talk with the other person in charge and I'm just going to tell them I quit. This pizza hut is a complete joke. It has some of the laziest people you'll ever meet. Thanks for reading babes, I love you.

Now , without knowing your age its tough for me to analyze this but this could have been an opportunity for you.
Lets say your 18. Legal age in all states for all food establishments to work in any position/capacity.(I have an upper tier position in the restaurant business). Obviously your manager will get the walking slip and I'm pretty sure you would have suspected that. Remember , that business is very tough and you need thick skin for it and sometimes leaders are born and also they are made. IMO , if you had stepped up and took charge and got through the shift it would have shown the store or area manager you have ambition and leadership ability.
Now , I can keep going but I'm tired but you didn't have a bad day at all. Two things here
1.) You could have turned a negative situation into a very positive one and maybe upped yourself in your job.
2.) You learned a life lesson. Sometimes what seems bad could actually be an opportunity for success.
I did go through my shift and I did do everything basically. I cashed in and cashed out orders, took orders, helped customers, sweeped, washed dished, dispatched drivers etc. But I was not going to close, just went through my shift and that's all.
Good for you then! Now just bring attention to the proper Management , sometimes you HAVE to grab the bull by the horns or you can go unnoticed but if you do bring it up keep the talk positive while slightly leaning the conversation your way. Remember A LOT start at the bottom and work up. A step up in your position can never hurt on a future resume.
