Hating It

"Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before." -James Buckham

I hate my job. No, let me rephrase that. I love my job, but hate the location. Perkins itself is not the greatest establishment to work for, I've noticed. The corporate office keeps passing these rules that just irritate the workers and in the long run debilitate their ability to function to their their fullest potential, thus causing a bad guest experience. It's dumb. The company seems to be digressing in some of the smallest of areas, but with the quantity of small things that there is it's enough to weigh. Then there's the individual restaurant ways. This particular one is frighteningly unprofessional. We have a money making restaurant, therefore you'd think they'd spend some money on fixing the place up and updating to make production easier and faster, but no. The management wants to maintain that status so she spares no expense. Instead she duct tapes everything. Lights are taped into the ceiling! It truly is a hazard, lol. There's other things as well. I think this has officially become my most disliked place of employment. But we'll stick it out until the end of the summer or so.

Now here's my question for myself. Why is it that it seems so bad? There are two options. Is things truly that much worse there than anywhere else? Or is it that after Disney it just looks that bad? I would have to say a little bit of both but probably more so that things are truly just that out of control there.

Let mm just give you a brief view of how country my area is. There is a Protestant church in town that had fish fries for Lent. Uhm- hello - Protestant's don't celebrate Lent. Stupid. Just another way to feed the cheap trash and get them to come to church. The there is the pizza shop. This one is good. In the Pizza shop window is a bear. A real live dead bear that the owner shot and killed then had stuffed. Now it's all displayed in the window. It has a little wooded scenery so it looks all themed and pretty while it's proudly displayed. Nothing like dead bear fur in your food. Stupid. I could go on but those are the two things that just peeved me the most at the moment. lol. Maybe I'm just being stupid about it, but it bugged me. haha
