STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE
Establishment: DAVID BURKE @ BLOOMINDALES
Location: UPTOWN
Man do I have a story to share, About 8 months ago I was desperately looking for work until I came across a ad on CL about this place. My expreience with CL havent been that great either but I was still hoping to get a callback from this place because of DAVID BURKE. Well I did get the call back and was really excited. Then came the interveiw day, I put on my EXPENSIVE suit made sure I had atleast 2 copies of my resume and left 20 mins early just so I could be there 15 mins earlier. I walk in the place exactly 15 mins earlier and first thing I notcied was this dose not seem like a restuarant DAVID BURKE would own but there it was, his name all over the store so I thought maybe this is something different and boy was I wrong. I asked the hostess that I have a interveiw here today and waited in the small "lobby". Manager came out (nothing against her she was very nice, a little unprofessional but I dont blame it on her) I gave her a firm handshake and she walked me in and without asking a question introduced me to the head cashier A.K.A phycho bitch and left. I was standing there thinking if i got this job? what it the pay rate? is it fulltime or parttime? what shifts I would be working? nonetheless I got my head back in the game and started working. Worked for 8 hours straight and only took me 2 mins to realize the head cashier is a old phychotic bitch. She would actually yell at customers for no apparent reason and blame me for everything when I wasnt even WORKING on the cash register. I have dealt with these types of people before in my life and was able to put up with her bullshit cuz I really needed this job. Her shifts end and I walk in the managers office still a little bit confused and was told to come in next morning at 9 am so I could learn how to open. It was all fine but she still didnt directly answer any of my questions neither did I sign any paper work. Next morning I come at 8:45 am sharp waited a couple of mins for the phycho bitch to show up and was ready to begin my day. The only problem was that bitch didnt wanna show me anything instead she told me to just chill and that I would never be asked to open cuz thats her job. I insisted that she show me but she rudely refuesd and left to make a deleviry that had to be done every morning. I asked if I can go with her just incase if I am ever asked to open I would know where to go but she told me to sit and do nothing. After she did all the opening chores I was ready to continue my training then came the real manager ( I think the lady was assistant manager or something) I asked him the same questions and he didnt answer and closed his office door. I worked 8 more hours without knowing for sure if I had the job or not, If this was ft or pt, what is the pay rate, and what shift I would be asked to work neither did I sign any paperwork. I should have left at that point but was pretty desprate for a job. After her shift ended I went again to the office and finally got all my answers. He gave me all the paperwork and I sat there and filled it all out, turned it in and was to say my byes until the manager asked me to stay here until the closing. I was kinda pissed but thats life rite? I cancelled all my plans with my friends and was working with the other cashier ( the one I would be replacing she was 9 months pregnent and was due the next day nothing against her either, a strong women she was) plus she was a lot better then the phycho bitch i had to deal with in the morning who would litterly yell customers and not even the rude ones but the nice ones. I was talking with her and she told me she is just taking maternity leave and will be comming back in 3 weeks. At that time I was super pissed. No one told me that this was a Temp job even when I specifically asked the manager about it. I went to confront him one more time and he told me that when she comes back he would give me a different job like in the kitchen or something (steward) I wanted to leave rite that moment but didnt since the cashier was due tommarow it didnt feel rite to leave her all alone working like that. I stayed till the end and left without saying a word. Next day I slept like a baby, watched some Conan on hulu, ate gyro and had fun clicking on the manager everytime he would call.
P.S I know this is really long but its pretty late at nite and im bored so thought mite as well do something constructive. 
What an idiot!!!
