I talked to one of my friends last night that works at the McDonalds mentioned in my last entry. Turns out the manager yelling is kind of like a trickle-down effect. See, the store owner comes in almost every day and screams at the general manager, who in turn screams at the shift managers, who in turn end up screaming at the wage slaves.
He said the general manager wasn't always like this, but the owners came close to failing three inspections in a row (which would have meant the owners lose their stores), so now the owners go way overboard on everything, and yell when the tiniest thing seems out of place. They had their entire night crew walk out last weekend, and the day shift is talking about doing the same thing because of all the stress. Damn, you gotta be doing something wrong when your whole shift walks out on you. eek
I'm gonna start dropping by there more often when my friend gets off his shift- that store has gossip like woah. For instance, one of the shift managers is dating one of the 16 year old employees, and is now getting pushed into a shotgun wedding because her father found out. Two of the female managers that used to work there got caught making out in the cooler, and one of the wage slave couples got caught having sex by the security cameras. At least no one has been caught getting frisky on the food prep tables yet- that would be kinda... yeah. I don't think I'd want to eat there anymore. gonk
