So let me get this straight

1. Elon Musk buys Twitter

2. Elon Musk unbans Andrew Tate

3. Andrew Tate picks a fight with Greta Thunberg

4. Greta Thunberg ratios the shit out him

5. He gets mad and posts a video response

6. There's a Romanian pizza box in the video which twigs Romanian police of his location

7. He is raided and arrested for human trafficking

That is some fabulous fuck-around-find-out shit and a great end to the year.

This doesn't have a conclusion, and the part of me that loves essay format hates that so I'll go over the positive.

Coworkers - I have met some of the most genuine and beautiful people I've ever come across, just working here for a year. Undeniably, these people have changed me and seen me change for the better, and not once have I connected with people faster. I have trained more than half the staff on the floor at my location, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. They get frustrated, and they get kicked down by customers, but by God, do they always get through everything. I've never seen a more resilient and hardworking group of people, and it sucks to see them get their energy stripped away from them by this company. I'll never forget some of the moments I had working with them, and I hope i never lose some of them as they are absolutely wonderful. They're the only reason I've even hesitated to stay, even with every negative they've routinely pulled me back in. These people are so great they make this hell hole like heaven. They breathe life into me every day and remind me that people can not only be good, but they can be great.

Today is my last day at *corporate coffee company #00704A* and I wanted to make a more structured post expressing some of the things that went down at my store that made it a nightmare.

Management - Managers at these stores, even at the most basic level, are the actual worst. My previous store manager would staff 3 more people than normal when she was working so she could go home hours early and make sure that she didn't have to go on the floor no matter what, meaning our labor was short for every other day. These days consisted of 3-4 people during peak times, 2-3 people during off periods, and the lowest number of people on Sundays (our busiest day, that she intentionally never worked). She would often as well try and turn coworkers against each other with multiple documented cases of her convincing others to try and get their friends to quit because she didn't like them. Given that we are a small store, all things considered, we got the least visits from upper-management out of every store in our district. I was a floor manager, main trainer, and 3 time employee of the month and I have met out district manager 4 times total in the year and 4 months I have worked at that store, other stores got visits once a month. Management at other stores would routinely bash younger employees as well, saying that they don't want to work and don't have their ethic, this was supported by our upper management. Constant belittling, constantly pushing blame, these people were not leaders as they claimed but they were bosses.

Customer base - My specific coffee chain specializes in extreme customization of drinks, to the point where there were some customers would order a drink and after they were done explaining what they wanted it would be entirely different from a regular coffee. This led to customers abusing our standards and handing back drinks, saying it was "Made incorrectly" before even trying it. For those of us who don't know, it is a health code violation to take anything through the window of a drive-through, so people would say something was wrong to steal another drink and we always got punished for it. This was a regular occurrence. Getting used to the treatment as well, people would go to the extremes of customizations and scream at the teenagers working. One woman gets a large vanilla latte with caramel drizzle lining the cup, at the bottom of the cup, and on top of the drink, using half of our container at a time and would routinely send it back because there wasn't enough. These people also never tip.

Workload - When you work for (#00704A) coffee shop, you're expected to be able to fill any position on the floor, as when someone calls out, you would need to flex into another one. Some people had regular positions (I usually made drinks), but we regularly switched. In the afternoons, however, since our labor hours were being utilized during morning rushes, we would have 3 people on the floor from 11:00-6:30. There are 9 positions in the store that need to be filled on top of the work I would do as a shift lead, as well as running breaks. We routinely work 3 positions all the time, I've sometimes run 6, and they have the audacity to pay me as much as someone who only does one. This is on top of the fact that even if I excel and connect, I get nothing in return except for anti-union rhetoric and people screaming at me.
