Dear friends,
I had off since Monday but I am going back to work tomorrow. It felt great to not having to use my brain for a couple of days. Just when I thought that all of my miseries and problems would finally end, another pops out.
So on Monday, it was my first day off. I woke up and it was beautiful outside. I had few things to take care off and went to the mall with my mom. It was a bliss. Not having to think "Oh shit! I have to study when I get back!" or "Urgh..I am working tomorrow...". No. It was nothing like that. There was really nothing to think of and I was carefree...until I get a text message from my boss. So she asks me if I am having trouble manipulating money. What kind of question is that? >_> Because from the shifts I've been working with her, there was big amounts missing. The first shift I worked with her was missing 80$ and the second was close to 300$. So she is asking me if I knew why it's like that. Like hell I know! So she sort sends me a video which I can't watch with my cellphone. What is this all about? So I just spend 2 weeks studying my behind off for my finals, 4 straight days at work, and I get this kind of crap on my first day off. You must be kidding me.
So after texting back and forth, she tells me that she will explain everything to me this Friday or my friend who's working with me will explain to me. Are you kidding me? God is sure having fun sabotaging my days off. I was mad, nervous, tired, and I have this burn out. This is not helping. One problem after another. So all of this was happening in the mall and I wasn't even enjoying shopping anymore. I texted her back and told her I will come at the job as soon as I can.
So my mom took me to the subway and I went to my job. So my friend Eli and my boss were both there. Eli was serving the customers while the other one has her face focused on some documents. So as soon as I got there, we got down to business.
Boss: *shows me the reports* Look here! There are money missing. I recalculated everything and I can't figure out why money is missing.
Me: ...I don't understand why money should be missing either. I know I'm not perfect but it is strange that 300$ is missing.
Boss: When I do shifts on my own, I always get a difference of more of less 2$. So it could be you.
Me: How about the other times I worked with other people?
Boss: It's actually ok. It's just these two shifts you worked with me that the finance doesn't balance out. You worked on your own last Sunday the entire shift and there was just a difference of 10$ which is really good. I don't just don't understand.
Me: It is indeed weird. When I was working with you, my shifts were much smaller. It was a sift of 5 to 6 hours we are talking about and there aren't a lot of customers in the evening. So I don't know how I could possibly loose that much money. Well, anything can be possible I guess.
Boss:.....*remained silent for a bit* Maybe the missing money is already at the bank. I didn't have time to count anything.
Me: If there are any mistakes in the deposit, is the bank going to contact us?
Boss: They contact the owner directly but he's on vacation. He'll be back in 4 weeks.
Me: I guess there's nothing we can do about it then. How about if I handle my own cashier and balance out my own thing? If money keeps on missing, maybe I'm really the problem and you can help me improve on certain aspects...or whatever you decide to do with me.
Boss: Yes. Eli has also proposed this.
Eli: *turns around* Yes. It has to be fair for Gloria. We can't just put all the blame on her.
Boss: Maybe it's possible that when you had your back turned away, a customer stole something from the cashier...
So yeah...that's how it went. Honestly, I have nothing against the boss. I totally understand her. It's her responsibility to make sure that everything balances out and find the reasons why it's not otherwise. When we talked, she didn't raise her voice or anything. But I know deep down my heart that the finger was pointed at me. I am the noob here so it's pretty obvious that the blame would be put on me. I can't think enough Eli to back me up. It is indeed unfair to just say that I'm the cause of the loss of money without any valid proof. Anyways, I'm not saying that it isn't my fault because I don't know what happened either. I am as much as puzzled as my boss. Anyways, my lone shifts begin tomorrow till Sunday. These will be my time to prove that I do my shit properly. But I honestly do my best every time and I am a very responsible person.
I'm just so fed up with all of this. I just want to spend some time without stress. Can this be possible!? I just finished the consecutive weeks of final exams and work...please give me a break of 5 minutes. I'll let you know how the cashier balance will turn out. So stay tuned :O
