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.

@YoMomma Strict but only when it comes to others not her own work. She will yell at me for something and then use old dried out stuff or switch labels because of waste. I'd rather be honest and adjust to lower or higher quantities depending on business needs. I opened and I saw thursdays sticker covered poorly by a friday sticker with her name on it. I've lowkey been collecting evidence and so has another coworker to bring it to our boss. I was told by the other coworker that she is being watched because they are onto her relabelling and using old expired goods.

I don't know if it's a german thing because she always talks about how her mom is from germany and she is german. I don't know if she thinks i'll just roll over and be quiet and not talk back because asians are docile and obedient or some crap like that. I don't know anymore

Is she stealing food and switching old stuff back in to cover for herself? 😳@FutureIdol
FutureIdol · 31-35, M
@YoMomma No she's not stealing she's just using old stuff that should be thrown out but is relabeling it as a new product to avoid throwing it out. She claims it's to reduce waste

Oh then maybe she just doesn't like wasting food. But still people can get food poisoning from spoiled food 😳 @FutureIdol
FutureIdol · 31-35, M
@YoMomma yeah and it can ruin a businesses reputation. Word of mouth spreads fast like don't go there they serve old food
