A customer, bearing a resemblance to tourist wombat precariously balancing on tight, once had the audacity to insinuate that I was in a dead-end job. The absurdity of his assertion was as preposterous as steam erupting from his ears onion rings orbiting his head like mischievous halos. I almost detect the faint scent ofaviar on his breath as he readied himself for his theatrics, akin to a petulant child or an unruly cartoon character caught in a whirlwind of chaos.

You have a job in literature if you ever want to pivot! Customers are generally fine, but every once in a while, you do just get the meanest person ever. Can’t even imagine how they just wake up or get in that terrible of a mood, and then to be like that to others. Never ceases to amaze me.

I'm torn on whether this actually happened or you're just an incredibly talented writer using Fishbowl as their creative outlet. Enjoyed reading it either way. This customer, real or fake, sounds miserable. Like 95% of customers.

Fair ? Good? Bad ?
Thanks

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
