I have to be back in 45 minutes. Honestly thinking about not going back in over this bullshit. My only concern is that I havent been in the system for this week I've been working here, so I havent been able to clock in and out. I dont want to quit without them paying me for this shit.

Stopped trying by now.
If you have a car, try applying for a pizza delivery job; the demand for drivers from the Big 3 is always high.
What job do you do that demands you need to shave?
don't go back to work; ever
Les Schwab Tires. Still ony my lunch break, for 20 minutes. Applying for a job stocking shelves right now. Im in no condition to drive back even if I wanted tto.
Pissed me off when that fucker just came up and said "did you shave today?"
I should have just said yes instead "no, but I did last night"
How do I demand my pay for unrecorded hours
I would understand if you were working at a restaurant or somewhere prestigious, but a fucking automotive shop? Unless your beard is long, there shouldn't be a fucking problem with facial hair - gimmie a fucking break!
>be little me
>go with grandpa to a tour mine he worked at
>hammer up coal to put into these little baggies as souvenirs with this iron rod and spray clean the helmets when everyone gets back, sometimes I'd also just wander around or man the register during the less busy hours
>get $10 every day
Miss you gramps, I really do. Yes it was under the table.
Btw, long beards can get caught in the tire removing machinery, so trimming that off would be understandable - an employer wanting to see baby faces in a repair shop is ridiculous!
>2004, just graduated

>find out our contract is going to run out and we're not being renewed, just walk out one night and never go back
Rookie mistake. Didn't think about all the overtime I would have racked up since it was only 3 guys at the time and how I could have gotten unemployment. Didn't matter much though, found another, better paying job doing the same shit right across the street.
Fuck itr I am goinmg back to this shitty tire center. I need to get paid for this past week. I dont know hjow to get my pay if I dont go back
Even if you were in the 'official' punch in system, there would have been a way to verify that you were there(like a sign in sheet or some shit I don't know,) and did your job until you quit. If they refuse, contact the Better Business Bureau on this guy.

If it was possible to work with him until my retirement, I'd love to do so.
>the state of wagies
what jobs don't make you shave? fuck that i'm keeping my long hair and beard
I didn't even have a fuckong beard, it was stubble that grew overnight.
Still drunk, going to go back in like nothing happened even though I turned my 1 hour lunch into 1 hour 30+ minutes
Job agency sent me to do a month's work somewhere, and I asked the employer when I should take breaks. They told me I can take them whenever. So I took breaks whenever I pleased but still did all the work assigned to me. After it was over they complained to the agency that I was just taking breaks all the time and slacking off. Those fucking motherfuckers.
find your bosses address and murder him
if you stuck at it you would have a good body and some money. win win.

It wasn't really my first job since I never clocked in any hours but it still bothered me
Boy golly, my first job was something else.
>2015
>Start as a dishwasher at a family restaurant, got the job through a friend.
>Eventually became a cook, then shift leader later on.
>But holy shit was this place ridiculous.
>Second day on the job was a Sunday, busiest day of the week.
>Literally only me in the dish pit, definitely a two man job. Had to bust my ass to keep up (for that sweet minimum wage.)
>As dishwasher, my job was also to clean to bathrooms in the event of an "emergency."
>Talk about emergencies. The restaurant definitely catered to the elderly.
>One day, women's restroom. Handicapped stall.
>"user, go clean the bathroom!"
>Shit. Everywhere.
>On the wall. Under the toilet seat. UNDER THE TOILET BOWL. Smeared around.
>Turns out another customer had come in, saw the mess, and threw up on the spot.
>No joke, they vomited an ENTIRE GOD DAMN SAUSAGE LINK.
>Equipped with only a mop, paper towels, some bleach, and rubber gloves I cleaned that shit.
God I hated that place.
>About 19 at the time
>Dishwasher at a sushi place
>Think this should be easy, a lot of plates but they're small and sushi isn't very messy, on top of that the place was never very busy
>Show up for first shift
>Junkie dude tells me to start vacuuming the dining room and cleaning tables
>I thought I was just going to be washing dishes but whatever
>After I finish he tells me to clean the bathrooms and take out the trash
>I guess they must be short staffed or something
>They aren't, tiny ass kitchen with 4 chefs 3 waitresses and the junkie dude, plus the sushi chef who owns the place
>apparently I'm the only one who can take out the trash though
>Do it anyway, trying to make a good first impression, junkie tells me I'm going to slow despite practically running between positions and him doing jack shit
>All of this is before I even start washing anything
>Store opens and it's fucking empty, I think we had 3 tables that whole shift
>Despite this I'm doing an absurd amount of dishes. The dishwasher held about 50 and I filled it up to full about 10 times
cont.
>>technically still being a kid, I decided I was no longer needed to work, so I just let the new guy wash the dishes while I just hang around the kitchen
what the fuck is wrong with you
Fuck I didn't expect that twosr
Good one user, made me spit my drink
>Dishes start piling up while junkie spends his time talking to the waitresses
>He tells me to stop what I'm doing because I need to make the rice and clean the refrigerators
>This is starting to sound like way more than a dish washing job
>He shows me how to make rice in this special tub thing they have, never done anything like this before and he tells me I'll need to do it without help the next shift
>Finish somehow and move on to refrigerators
>Open up meat fridge and immediately hit with a fucking horrible smell
>Junkie just laughs and say they have some rotting meat in there
>Wondering why the fuck they haven't thrown it out but don't question anything because autism prevents me from talking back
>Worth noting that there were like 4 fridges and they were all mini-fridges on the floor, have to get on my knees and take shit out to clean them
>All the crouching and leaning is killing my already sore body
>At one point take a cardboard crate full of oranges out but the bottom had rotted through and the oranges spill out everywhere
>It was at that point I decided to finish the shift but never come back
>Try to catch up with the remaining dishes but couldn't get them dry because stacey waitress kept throwing wasabi covered dishes on my only dry towels
>Finally finish the job and tell the owner I won't be coming back next shift
>Tell my parents I quit when I got home expecting them to be angry but after I explained the circumstances they agreed it was a shit job
>Restaurant shuts down a couple months later due to health concerns
Also they wanted to keep my on no pay probation for 3 weeks. Since it was my first job I thought that was normal but when I told my Dad he said I was probably getting scammed.
>take drug test
>fail drug test
why would you even bother to take the test if you knew you took drugs in the past.
pool girl sounds cute though.
>exact same thing happened to me
>except i said i dont have a razor with me
> im not buying one and theres people on shift with longer stubble than me and they aren't getting yelled at
>says come in shaved next time or im getting a warning
you at mcucks by any chance?
Nope, not at mccucks. Les Schwab Tire Center. I'm still sitting in my car in the parking lot, 2 hours after my lunch ended.
Going to apply for fast food bullshit tonight. Stilldont know how to return these uniforms and ask for pay without it being awkward as fuck
>Hired as a cleaner for a local diner that specializes in fried chicken
>Tell me it's mainly routine cleaning bathrooms, sweeping, mopping early in the morning
>But there's some kitchen prep like cutting potatoes and setting up the fryers and meat
>Agree as it sounds like an ideal job with minimal hours
>Go to my first shift and don't do much but be instructed by the previous guy to do it and my boss
>Lots to keep track of, but I can see getting the hang of it
>Then we get to the kitchen
>The air is stagnant with the smell of grease
>Can hardly breathe in the tiny room
>Have to handle raw chicken and be around hot shit with this awful smell in the air
>Finish up my shift and get ready to go
>The minute I'm out the door I collapse on the sidewalk out of sight--wanting to vomit
>Can't even walk the fifteen minutes home, and have to collapse in an alley-way from nausea
>Called back that afternoon and told him I couldn't do it
>Went to university instead
I currently work in a call center with a great schedule and great pay but it stresses me out and I work with only black women. I used to do construction before this. Is it okay to feel emasculated? What do?
>summer two years ago
>walk into pool store, ask if they're hiring, told to come in to work the next day doing water tests
>job is chill as fuck, just stand behind counter and do tests
>main guy at the test counter is cool as fuck, comes to work drunk half the time
>shifts are only entire 9 hour days
>other summer workers basically kicked out of water testing because I'm too good
>main test guy goes to texas or something to live with a woman he met on the internet
>suddenly there's only two of us to do testing
>6 days a week
>half the store gets closed to prepare for winter
>lab is moved to the registers with only half the machines/computers
Was really nice for a while. A lot of downtime deeper into the summer but someone had to man the counter at all times. After being moved it was hell.
>graduating college, no job
They offered me to come back today when I went in to buy shit.
>9 hours a day 6 days a week
Is that supposed to sound like a good deal?
Wagies I swear.
Just tell them you want one of the beard-haircaps if you work in the food-industry.
They can't make you shave your beard, they actually have to provide protection and gear for you to express yourself.
If you've allready got a proper contract and they fire you, you can even go to court with them.
Unless you're in a 3rd world country like the US of A, where you basically have no laborlaws because you instantly applaud any buffoon who tells you they are "socialist/communist chains".
Don't go back and look for a different job if you only have a temp-contract.
fuck that mate, let it be awkward. its just another few minutes of feeling nervous for a weeks pay.
I said it was nice for a while. When I started that wasn't the case and wouldn't have happened if the main guy didn't leave.
>be 28
>pizza delivery driver
>obese, but most of the weight is in my gut, ass, and thighs, so my face shows a guy who is slightly overweight

Fuck off, cunts, I'm only into women old enough to purchase alcohol!
