So like, total bullshit first off. The wifi at my work place is SO FUCKING BAD that I sit down, try to connect to the Wifi, eat my entire meal, and MAYBE it's connected enough to load one page? Not shitty at all....
So I'm completely and totally stressed the fuck out right now. A lot of it revolves around work, a lot of it doesn't.
Having a place of my own is both good and bad. I've got to actually pay attention to my spending a lot more, have more bills, etc but at the same time, it's my place. My rules, my decisions, all that good stuff. So that's positive in the long run.
Work is just ridiculous, this month especially. I know a lot of people think fast food is for idiots, but it's really not, especially at the level I'm at. It's a wonderful wonderful world to get cussed out over a kids meal toy (Monday), charging a dime for a cup of water (Tuesday), or not giving someone a free $8 meal because "It's supposed to be fucking paid for!" (Friday). People are pretty fucking petty and can/will take offense over the tiniest insult to their perfection. Customers never make mistakes, you must read their minds and you will still get it wrong
So, big inspection Thursday. Because of this, I spent most of my Wednesday day off at work... For free... And then employees being idiots later that night sure didn't make things easier. Thursday itself? Well, I said the outside was clean yet there were cigarette butts and chewing gum wars in the mulch so from that point on, I was shit, nothing I did was right, and all that other fun jazz. Am I overreacting? Nope, my boss was with the inspector the entire time and says he wouldn't stop criticizing me. Whatever it happens, it's a blow to the self confidence, but I'll survive. My schedule in the other hand, I might not survive. I seriously have been feeling like I have no time to live. The money is okay, but what good is money without happiness? Without peace of mind? I'm a rope fraying at both ends over here and starting today, it's about to get even more brutal.
Supposed to have a vacation coming up next week. There's problems there in terms of I'm unable to really plan because I was finally able to pick dates this month and I was told that they will be changed at everyone else's convenience if needed. Isn't that just the piss in my morning Cheerios? But that's not what's bothering me. Last year, I tried to make plans and everything blew up in my face hardcore. It was super fucking stressful, a massive ton of depression, and all that good jazz because that's what a vacation is, right? Well, I thought I'd try again this year. My parents are completely against it. They say it will blow up in my face again and I should just do something for myself. "No mom! I have faith that it won't happen again! Everything will be great!" ....it fucking happened again. Once again, my plans are being steamrolled by everyone around me, including people NOT EVEN INVOLVED, and once again, I'm expected to bend the knee and be everyone's whipping boy.
Honestly, between work and the stress of trying to keep everyone happy on MY VACATION, I'm considering just taking a vacation alone and not telling anyone when or where until I get back....

Well i do hold the oppnion the water should be free. (not bottled water thats expensive and deserves its charge) I do beleive that the rest is a bit unreasonable on the customers half. And i personally would have gone to the boss after the inspector left and told him what you did and that things were clean the day before but apparently either bum/customers or your peers dirtied it up and made no effort to pick up after themselves. Sometimes you got to stand up and say that you are doing your job and whats happened was not by your fault. that or demand a staff meeting so you can figure out who did make the mess.

it wont help. bosses always pass the buck and it doesn't matter if a bomb went off 2 seconds before the inspector shows up, its still the fault of whoever was supposed to make sure its clean. customer service jobs blow that way.

It sounds like you can file a complaint and get your boss and the place you work for fired.
