Rant
please tell me if i’m being overdramatic and expecting too much. I’m 5 months pregnant and yesterday night i had a shift from 3:45pm-11pm (i work as a hostess). My managers are aware of this and have offered to give me a break whenever need be. So last night i put in an order at the bar for food and went back to working so that when my food was ready i’d have someone to cover the host stand (I also chose this time to take a break because i was well into my shift, starving, and it had gotten pretty slow). One of the managers working that night came up to me and started yelling at me for ordering food and that i needed to ask permission first, never have any of my coworkers had to do this nor have i been told i had to but i apologized and continued working, assuming that my food was still being made. An hour goes by and still no food but i brush it off because i assumed they’re just busy. That’s when the manager comes back and says she’ll put the order in now…. so she just completely told the kitchen not to make my food. now i’m annoyed because i’m starving and my stomach is aching from how hungry i am. I continue to work and wait and then a server who i had spoken to about this earlier checks and says there’s no order for me in the kitchen. at this point im so hungry im in tears but dont even want the food anymore. I decided to tell a different manager about my frustrations and she tells me that I don’t get a break…??? Maybe i’m just pregnant and hormonal but i’m standing on my feet for hours and i don’t get a break?? I feel like i’m expecting too much but i just wanted to air out my frustration.
