Wrote a small diary 30 mins after my termination. What happened really was last week, I was taking orders in the drive thru and this elderly woman who probably was a regular, shot her order immediately even when I asked for her name. This type of behavior always sidetracks my streak of efficiency and always ends with me making mistakes and taking the time to mash buttons. It probably the 9th time I had to deal with this bs, so my inner self decided it would be best to advise/suggest to the guest to provide their names first before starting their order. She took that as a shrug firstly and later became offended by it. I tried my hardest to smile and make it clear it wasn’t a big deal, and later was transferred to BOB to see if I could prove my usefulness a bit more since Front of House privileges have been taken from me (i was so bad in BOH, i had not enough training to sustain, despite me telling everyone I would slow them down if they kept putting me on buns)

In conclusion, my fate was sealed, my clothes have yet to be turned in, but manager and director offered positive references when I got my new job at a wholesale place south of my city. Regardless, i felt really horrible working in what i once considered my home for 7 and a half months, and it doesn’t help that the 2nd CFA in my city closed down for some remodeling, so everyone flocked here to our tiny establishment and it was hell. Even though some people there liked me and asked for me to see them one day, i still can’t wrap my head how all of my months of working was crushed by that one lady, and you can argue I should’ve kept my mouth shut, but she was 2nd person in my line and the 6th this month to disregard basic manners, i just thought something could be done about it, and I payed the price.

TLDR: Elderly lady didn’t provide me name and was 6th person this month to not care, I thought a simple advice can ease the stress a little, became banished to BOH to be given another chance, failed it, lost my favorite job after 7 and a month.

I was let go today
