I went home from work crying because this lady at work is always mean to me and i couldn't take it anymore

Some background information about this lady. She's in her mid 50s, very religious, everything has to be done her way or she will come for you, cries about having no help on prep but treats the help badly.

Anyway, there was a complaint from a guest about her salad smelling bad. I was on prep with her that day and she tried blaming me saying my lettuce was too wet and because I didn't spin it enough in the salad spinner it was my fault. Nobody has ever said anything about my lettuce before and it never smells. Ok I messed up on one single tub of it but all the other lettuce was fine. The thing is she is notorious for relabeling old expired product and that includes the lettuce. I've seen some dried out old looking lettuce and she was using it before like it was fresh. I truly don't believe I was the reason for the bad lettuce and I got upset and told her I wasn't going to do bulk prep anymore because if I can't do it right than I won't do it at all. She got real quiet and said then fine then afterwards.

She also came at me about the tomatoes. We have a veggie wash we put them in for 90 seconds to kill off the yuckies and she came over and yelled at me for letting them sit in the water while I was slicing. She told me that anything over 90 seconds does something to the tomatoes and I said nobody ever told me that. I even said you trained me and never told me that. You said that it's ok if they sit in there that way. I've been doing this for awhile now. she got real quiet and walked away.

I got so tired of being put down and made to feel like a dumb kid who can't do anything I pulled into my driveway after work ended and ugly cried for several minutes straight. I spent the rest of the night upset and i may have drank a massive rum and coke. I didn't even want to go into work today because I was still hurting from yesterday. I know she doesn't work on saturdays but still.
Sounds like she has an overbearing personality .. those strict types.. i had a grandma like that once 😳
Oh then maybe she just doesn't like wasting food. But still people can get food poisoning from spoiled food 😳 @FutureIdol

Time to put on your big boy pants and get over it. If you don't like the job there are lots of other ones out there.

@hippyjoe1955 I've been looking but I'm not getting any calls.

@FutureIdol maybe some of it is you based on your posts. They have a saying if you are not happy and respect yourself how can you expect others to be happy and respect you? Sounds to me like your job is to prep and serve food. Anything else about you from outside of work should stay outside of work. I mean you don't talk about your personal life you don't talk about your goals and aspirations unless it pertains to that work environment environment. It is not your supervisor or manager's responsibility to hold your hand and tell you everything's gonna be OK it's their job to tell you if your s*** stinks that it stinks.
