Uniforms

Uniforms are great! They are basically a advertisement of where you work. People look at and read shirts with sayings. If I see a dirty, old, or torn up shirt, I will not be patronizing your business. However if I see an employee with a semi new, clean, not torn shirt I will patronize your place. I want to know that business owners care about how they and their employees look. So do me a favor the next time you see a employee with a ripped or old shirt, put out the money and buy new ones. It probably will help your business.

Not Opening on Time

I am always on time. I think it is a good character trait to have. It shows dependability and a willingness to work. So why when I show up to work do I always have to wait for you to get there? At first, I thought you over slept, okay one day is fine but why did you not call to tell me? Here I am, sitting in your parking lot waiting for you to come. Than you show up and say, oh I didn’t know you would be waiting for me. I do not have keys to go in so why wouldn’t I be? The next week and numerous times after this the same thing happens.  Other employees are with me these times, were all talking about leaving after your really late. Some do but I stayed because I’m getting paid to sit in the parking lot. The next time it happens, I have had enough and I leave to! Than you have the nerve to get mad at me for not coming to work! Show up on time and maybe your employees will not leave. This is no way to run a business!

Phone Usage

I know you do not want us to make personal phone calls on the bakery phone. We do anyway, so you have decided to end all outgoing calls. Now what happens when we need a line out? Oh, we have to use our own personal cell phones to call the bakery to get a line out. So now, I have to waste a minute to call the bakery, wait for the phone to ring, pick it up while hanging up my phone, than make a call out. God Forbid I have to call 911, I have to run to get my phone, call and tell the operator right where I am. She can not see my location like she could if I called from your phone! Now what would happen if one of your 15 year old employees had to call in a panic, do you think she could remember your address? Oh, she might not? Well my suggestion would be to get an outgoing line!

I just love everything about halloween. The best part about it for me, is making halloween cakes. I’m so over candy, I just want cake!

This is a holiday where you can let your imagination take you anywhere it wants to go. Ghost, goblins, tombstones, and pumpkins are all perfect things to put on cake. You can make scary cakes or kiddy cakes, anything goes. Below are two examples of halloween cakes one scary the other not so much

learnWe all think that we are the best at what we do. Some of us are and others not so much. I always try and help people with what they are doing. If I know something and you don’t,  why should I not help you? I also wanna learn what you know. If you do not want my help just say so. I do not need to be wasting my time showing you the right way to do something if you are not gonna listen.

Knocking On The Bathroom Door!

It is a fact of life, we need to use the bathroom. So why is it that when I’m in there, you find the need to come knocking on the bathroom door? I have been in there for two minutes! I will come out and do my work when I am finished in here.

When this first started happening I though someone was waiting so I hurried up and got out. To my surprise no one was there this time or the next few either.  I started to wonder what was going on. By the end of the week I was just annoyed, but to my surprise my manager came to me and asked me what I was doing in there? I was shocked by this question, did he really just ask me that? So I answered him that I was using it. He said that he noticed I use it everyday at the same time. He wanted to make sure that my two minute bathroom break I was not calling someone!

Needless to say I did not stay at this place long after this conversation. It is one thing to check up on someone if they are missing for thirty minutes but definitely not two.
