The Hive is ALIVE! It's not dead yet!

Then maybe they should change their slogan to "Go Ahead, Use Us (when we aren't taking a Break)."

Unfortunately, since I do work at a restaurant, people always bug me when I'm on break. They see I'm eating (in the front) then they ask me to take their bill to the cashier even though they can see that the cashier is like 5 feet away (at the bar).

I've noticed some people believe those in the service fields are truly at their service. They'll ask and demand a lot. What do you do when people do that?

Oy, sounds damn bad mega. I hope you well, and remember, at least you have a woman who loves right by your side .

I have been holding off saying much about my life lately since it can be crappy. On top of my finiancial issues, now I may be losing my primary job. Worse- it is a situation of breaking company policy with it being my word vs someone else's.

If the company goes with me then I keep my job but plan on getting out of the department I've been in for over 12 years. Obviously I have someone gunning for me but the company isn't saying whom in fear of reprisals to them.

If the company goes with this other person I lose my job, house, reputation and be forced to leave the area.



....and no....its not sexual harrassment but something the company takes just as seriously.


....and yes, I have thought of stupid things to do to myself if it goes bad. Wife is aware of it doing all she care to me positive. But one never knows...... Bi-polar and highly stressed with false accuations plays with one's mind.



I'm surprised no one asked why I was posting occationally in the evening here when I should be at work (instead of being suspended until the investigation is complete).


In theory I will know what is happening tommorrow evening.....

Ain't life Freakin' grand.......

Are you racist?

Andy I make light but I know this is serious. I hope you come through it ok.

If it does mean the end of your job and you want to move you can always move down here to Georgia. I'll even find a place for you at my gaming table.

I haven't been around much and didn't notice your schedule change. We all come and go at different times of the day. Don't take that personally.

Doing something stupid isn't going to help so don't do it.

 

[megamania]

I am by no means racist.

I have been accussed of falsifying documents which when I am involved in the medical field is a big deal.


What I THINK has happened, is I entered measurements into the computer at 10:30 instead of 11 as I was susposed to and a rather unpleasant supervisor that I mutually dislike never saw me enter numbers then checked to see I had numbers entered for my 11pm time slot. She saw this as I "faked" my measurements and gleefully reported me to the headoffice whom by the company rules had to suspend me while an investigation is done. Assuming I am aquitted I will be paid for my lost time. If not- I am fired and can not even make this months morgage. Hard to say for sure since I am not allowed at the factory during the investigation. Fear of intimidation tactics and reprisals (shot her @$$ or the such) being the reason.


Since sharing this info with you- The Hivemind- I have checked my answering machine and now my meeting is pushed up from 3:30 to 2:30 and the head of Quality will be there. I am taking this as a positive thing.


If not, I will remind them that a lawyer may have interest to know I was medically assessed as having arthritis in my back from an old injury done at the factory and amazingly, a series of events rapidly began that can be construde as a set up to fire me (aka- not pay any possible injury issues).

As for doing something bad..... I have decided I would say goodbye to you guys first so as long as there are no threads about saying goodbye originated by me then I am alive and kickin'.

 

[Aeson]

I wish you luck with it. If that's all she has I'm not sure you have much to worry about.

Whatever the results I think you need to go out and do something good for yourself. Something to cheer yourself up if it went bad or to celebrate if it goes well. All this stress isn't good.

I've noticed some people believe those in the service fields are truly at their service. They'll ask and demand a lot. What do you do when people do that?

Depends on the person and the situation. I usually would help them or if a waitress or the hostess is standing around doing nothing I send them to help the person.

As far as demanding costumers go you sort of have to help them no matter what because if you don't they are likely to make a scene and leave or just leave without paying.

Unfortunately, what usually happens is that the person becomes a butt of a few jokes after they leave (especially those idiots who expect RESTAURANT styled mexican food to be cheep and inexpensive).

 

[Aeson]

I couldn't help but notice the RESTAURANT style. Does that mean something?

I don't think it was discussed. I assume this means your family has a Mexican restaurant. Is the food authentic Mexican or is like Chinese food "Americanized"? I've other wondered about ethnic restaurants and if it's the same food eaten in the home country.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Well, the restaurant is a Mexcican restaurant (as mention elsewhere in the off topic board) and as a result those people only eat Mexican Food from Fastfood restaurants/Taquerias always complain because the price on the menu is too expensive (even though the prices are about the same priced as many of our larger compeditors).

I consider our food semi-authentic meaning we had to change some ingredients and tone down the heat/spiciness a little so as to not scare away the anglo/gringo demographic. When we originally opened that restaurant (its the third in a local chain) we actually tried to do something totally different, we made it 100% authentic Yucatan styled cuisine. Unfortunately, even though the our mexican/hispanic costumers loved it, the anglos/gringos did not, which lead to the menu and recipes being changed to the match the other restaurants in the chain.

I'm hoping this is a good thing also - I read that as them saying they want you back at work as soon as possible.

Same here. If they pushed it back I'd worry because then it would read as "We want you to do as much work as you possible can before we call the security to escort you out"
