Get that blame out of my face.
Since when was it my responsibility to do the food and milk order? Oh, right, you told me to do it ONCE while you were on your week-long vacation to Mexico, so I did it then. I've gotten into the habit of checking to make sure you've actually done your part in terms of this, but to be completely honest, I purposely did not check whether or not you had placed it on Saturday, because seriously, I'm tired of being the only one to keep up on these things. Don't give me attitude when you've been sitting in your office all week talking/chatting for hours on the phone with other store managers and haven't bothered to do one of the few things you do to keep our store running. I already close the store more than anyone, work more hours than anyone, do all the other ordering for store supplies, do deposits at least twice a week, do the tips every week, order trash bags, and run the floor every single shift that I work. How about you delegate some of these responsibilities to the other two shift supervisors who, curiously, work mid-day barista shifts and have basically no supervisor responsibilities and/or work a 4-5 hour barista opening shift with occasional (though certainly not daily) cash handling duties thrown in there? I hate being so worked up and bitter about everything all the time, but it's really upsetting to be confronted first thing on Monday morning about why I didn't do the milk and food order THAT IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN MY RESPONSIBILITY!!!!! I am better than this job. And I deserve more than what this has to offer. There's no joy or pride or ambition in this work. It's just a day to day grind, dealing with the same people, doing the exact same thing, working with the same people, wearing the same thing day after day after day. This isn't one of those rage spots (like in my last post) that occasionally make me hate my place of work. This is something deeper, more gnawing...I can feel the weight of it pressing down on me and it's really starting to get me down. Thank goodness I'm going on vacation soon so you can all see how well the store runs without me and I can get away from you and this place for a while.
