Hello friends it's nice to have you here again 😊
My last job wasn't what i had expected. After completing my youth service few months ago, i returned home from the state i was posted to. Spent few week at home and decide to look for something to keep me busy while i wait for the jobs i had applied for to come through.
I walked around and asked a few supermarkets,shops and restaurants if they had any vacancies. Luckily, a restaurant i had been to had an opening. Went for an interview for the position of a waitress and was offered the job, which happens to be a night shift in which i was okay with. Started almost immediately, working from 2pm to 10pm.
My first few days were fine,thanks to my enthusiasm and fascination with the job. I was shown how to serve and take orders from customers. However, things took a turn when i was told i will have to clean, wash tablecloths and do dishes in addition to my waitressing duties. I thought to myself " you can't be serious". This isn't what i signed up for. But then others were doing it so i joined them.
I would stand for hours, hurting my feet and when i took breaks, the manager will hurl insults at me and asked i get up and do my job. We weren't entitled to anything as workers not even water 😲. There were no free meals, if you need anything you buy it. Thought employees were supposed to get perks like that but i was wrong. Some Nigerian restaurants never cease to disappoint.
Despite everything i made friends and resigned after a month. I couldn't handle the manager's nasty attitude and job demands. It was an experience but not a pleasant one.
