So I ask her what to do, and she tells me to clean even when the whole place looks spotless. So now I basically just stand there, scrubbing the same spot for a couple of hours. I wouldn't be surprised if I got fired either, since she talks about me behind my back. People were saying she was talking about me being too slow and not doing anything. Yeah, I'm sure with 9 hours of experience I'm going to be Speedy mother****ing Gonzales. Oh and my friend who worked there for about 4 months quit yesterday too because he said it was basically 4 months of bullshit. So now I'm gonna start back talking to the supervisor and I hope she writes me up. See, here's the thing, the manager is cool as ****. He's a high-school drop out in his 20's and he's a pretty nice guy. Not very smart, but he's a good guy. I'm pretty sure he would understand my predicament. But I guess even if I did get this all sorted out, it would still suck anyways. Working in fast-food fails. You're over-worked and under-payed.
    Being overpaid while doing nothing is what they want you to believe is real when you're young. It's all a lie. Welcome to the desert of the real.

    if she gets mad at you for doing nothing, maybe you should get to work?

    i dont think Timmys can be considered fast food, it only really has sandwichs, doughnuts and coffee.

    I used to work a Mcdonalds and all i used to do was change the letters on the big M sign

    That's kind of what I was saying. They didn't really train me to do anything (I hope they plan on training me eventually), so what am I supposed to do? The only thing I know how to do is clean, but I get the cleaning done in like 20 minutes.

    Either file a formal complaint against the manager or quit, it's not worth the stress.

    I live in Ontario near New York :P.

    Anyway, that's odd Nichons. My friend started working there three days ago and she's already finished training. Your store is probably badly managed.

Apparently they started going out today. It's like Tim Horton himself cast a curse on me to say "**** you for quitting." So now I'm gonna go cry in a corner. Seriously, I liked Katherine a lot.
    Oh. I'm in the same situation atm...well not really but kind of.....life sucks. I know :< But don't give up......it'll all turn out great(if you give your best), eventually.

    Sounds like my new boss.

    I think I'm actually starting to prefer working overnight shifts, because I don't have to deal with her that way.
