Summary of my day of work (1 Viewer)

[Nezumi]

So today I worked a shift from 1 till 10 pm. I was in charge of the store and had to close up. Our supermarket is very big and crowded. Especially now cause from tomorrow, another supermarket in the city will be closed until December due to construction/renovation. So it's gonna get worse.
I work specifically at the check out department. There are a lot of things to be done but I just can't do shit because it's so crowded. So the only thing I've been doing is mostly help customers lol. I hate it so much when I can't do things that I want to do or finish things cuz I keep getting disturbed. Today was a great example of that.
The supermarket looks like shit right now cuz we are just too short on staff. A lot of empty shelves and we didn't mirror the shelves tonight cuz we put our priority on restocking things. And even that wasn't finished.
I just can't handle the fact that it looks like shit now. I always want it to be perfect. But I really need to let go of that and everyone tells me that too. What can't be done just can't be done.. and tomorrow is a new day with new chances. I know that too. But I still have a hard time of letting go.
Al though, the checkout department that I cared for looked pretty decent. It's the rest of the departments that looked terrible. But I can't help but feel responsible for that too.
And when it's 10 pm we will close up and not continue cuz we won't get paid for that anyway. But like I said, tomorrow is a new day with new chances. We will put the priority on restocking things, and just let the mirroring of the shelves go.
I hope we can get more staff soon.. and not just 14 year old kids that are basically useless lol.

Can some of you relate to me or is it just me?

You don't get paid for working past close? Are you a salary employee??

Nope we don't. None of us does. I'm not a salary employee. I get paid hourly.
Maybe we do get paid past close idk. But we have a contract of a specific amount of hours which we may not really go over. Cuz if we do we get time from time or whatever it's called in English, and they don't really like having that. So for example some of us had to work till 10 pm today, so we will close up and go home. Otherwise we would go over our hours.
Idk how to really explain it. But I have a contract of 38 hours. So I work only that.
Although, most of the time I stay a bit longer cuz I want to finish my things.. I choose that my self and I don't get paid for that. I don't mind.

I think you mean overtime. What the hell, what kind of company doesn't pay overtime? I don't like them.

Yeah that's what I meant. But sometimes they make an exception for us to work overtime. But usually not. Well the benefit of them not paying us overtime, is that we don't have to work overtime. So we just go home whenever we worked our hours. Whether we are finished with our tasks or not lol
