Welcome back to the Young and Unscriptedpodcast. Woo Happy Thursday. It's just
and Cheaty and today we are gonnacatch up with Cheaty. We're gonna see
how her doctor's appointment went yesterday.We're also going to talk about the previous
jobs that we've had and maybe thingsthat we liked and didn't like about those
jobs. Gets we're gonna spill thetea. And then we also want to
(00:23):
talk about the list of things thatyour date notices about you right away,
and we're going to see if theseare things that maybe you do notice don't
notice, and we'll see where thistakes us. Yeah, so you guys
went to my doctor's appointment yesterday.First of all, I haven't been there
a long time, a couple ofyears. Okay, I know I want
to do a routine checkup, butI really wanted to, you know,
(00:45):
ask my doctor a lot of morequestions because over the past couple of years,
I feel like I'm like, Okay, this is what's wrong with me,
this is what's wrong with me.Okay, I need definitely talk to
my doctor about this. But likeone of the biggest concerns I had was
like I think I have ADHD causesome of the symptoms of ADHD, I
feel like I can relate to,for example, talking over people or finishing
people's sentence. Jess, I knowI did this to you a lot at
(01:07):
the time, I apologize and that'sokay. I feel like I do the
same. I feel like our mindsare just always racing, literally, like
so many different things we'd be thinkingabout, if that makes sense. Yeah,
because we'll start a sentence and thenanother thought pops in, and so
we'll start another sentence, but wedon't finish the one that we started before.
So I feel like we're on thesame wavelength. So we understand each
(01:32):
other, but then tell other peoplewe can read each other's mime like I've
been trying to understand as could belike a little tough. Yeah, definitely,
definitely. And then also what elsedid I say? Oh, I'm
very like forgetful and like disorganized,so disorganized. You guys my room.
I have lunch. I did laundrylike maybe a week ago, put it
(01:53):
in my basket, have not eventouched it, like, haven't even touched
it, like to put it away. I can't do it, Like it's
just so bad. So I havean appointment with a psychiatrist to see if
you know your girl got ADHD andyeah, we'll see where we go from
there. So if they do,I guess suggest any sort of medication to
help with focus, Are you goingto be taking that or you see?
(02:16):
Because that's what scares me. Yeah, And I know, like medication is
so freaking scary because I feel likethere's also like other ways, like holistic
ways maybe like to go about thingsmore healthier. But I feel like,
since I've been living this way forso long, I want to see how
the improvement is with medication because Ifeel like it could benefit my life,
especially if I want to go backinto school, and that's something I struggled
(02:38):
with a lot, was like stayingon top of assignments and being organized and
like focusing. Yeah, so ifthat could help me with that, then
definitely I'm going to go for it. But I did hear some stuff like
it takes your creativity out a littlebit because you're more like very hyper focused.
So I'm kind of scared about that. So I think I'll test it
down. If it's not good,I'll like dial it back and then probably
only do it like once in awhile or like when I really need to
(03:00):
need it. Yeah, but we'llsee all did you guys? And if
I don't have it your girl,No, I don't know what I'm gonna
do. Like I don't have it, then what's wrong? I know?
Literally, I'm like, okay,gotta reevaluate my whole life because I don't
know if we're gonna I don't knowhow we're gonna move forward from here.
So it's kind of like a loosethose situation. Yeah, literally, So
yeah, keep us updated on Iwill. So. Yeah. I wanted
(03:23):
us to talk a little bit moreabout previous jobs that we've had, because
I feel like we have talked alot about our journey with the radio,
yeah, like how we started inradio and everything. Maybe we've touched a
little bit on our previous jobs,but we haven't really gone into it a
lot. So I figured we'd justtalk about some good things and some bad
things about like the jobs that we'vehad in the past. For sure,
(03:46):
do you want to go first?Uh? Sure? So one of my
jobs that I still like think aboutas it being I mean in a good
way and in a bad way.Okay, it was forever twenty one,
Oh, so I worked there fortwo years and it was I want to
say, like twenty fourteen to twentysixteen or something like that, and not
(04:06):
gonna lie. Sometimes I do lookback and I'm like, dang, Like
it was so fun working there becausethere's a lot of there's a lot of
drama. Oh no, that's why, well, a lot of reasons,
but you know, I love thedrama. I love the tea as long
as I'm not involved in it,period. So I one of the two
things actually that I loved from there. One that's where I met my best
(04:30):
friend. Shout out to Louis.We were in the same interview together because
it was group interviews. So Idon't know that if a lot of retail
shops do group interviews, nowaday youlike? I feel like it. That's
when I ask you, do youlike group interviews more than like when on
one interviews? No? Really,I love group interviews because it puts the
pressure off of you. I know, but it doesn't because then it's like
(04:55):
they can pick them instead of you. Yeah, but you just as long
as you're more vocal than everybody else, I like they'll pick you things.
Yeah. I had a group interviewfor radio here really Yeah, And it
was like, oh, it wasprobably like eight of us, and I
literally like they went around a roomand all had to just be vocal and
just be listening to everybody else.And I feel like they can catch your
person your personality put quotes because sometimesit's fake, but you like, I
(05:18):
just feel like it's so much easieryou can feed off of people, like
Okay, that was a good answer, That was a good answer. Okay,
how am I gonna like put thoseanswers together? So I don't know,
I feel like it's easier. Ifeel like one on one is more
intimidating because like you're really focusing onme. Wow, Okay, I can
see that. I think for me, yeah, I was just kind of
like, oh my gosh, allof these people are here, they're gonna
(05:39):
pick them. But I remember wearingbecause look back then we dressed up for
interviews and back then, yeah,I guess, oh my god, it
was ten years ago. Oh youthinkcause we're in twenty twenty. Fo I
don't say that. Don't say that. Okay, anyways, ten years ago.
So there I am like wearing mylittle blazer and my flats to my
little interview one and we had tosell our outfit to the group. So
(06:04):
that is embarrassing. So you literallyhad to say like, oh, like
if there was a customer here,like how would you sell your outfits?
You had to be like, youknow, would have just left the interview
like I'm done, no, thankyou, fine, But it's just so
funny to think about now. AndI know my best friend and I we
always look back at that day andthat moment. I think I talked about
(06:27):
my blazer being like very versatile,like you can trust this up where you
can truss it down. So Idid pretty good. Not gonna lie.
Obviously you get hired. But it'sjust crazy to me that like, had
I not applied to that job,I wouldn't have never met my best friend.
That's crazy. Yeah, And sowe had that same interview, So
that was one thing that I loved, was meeting my bestie. But also
(06:51):
I feel like before Forever twenty one, I didn't really have my sense of
style, which I don't really thinkI have a very specific sense of stuff.
I think I like wearing like abunch of different random things. But
before then, I don't think Ireally experimented with any any sort of different
(07:12):
style. I kind of would justwear random things that wouldn't even like really
fit me that well. And soI think from working there and seeing all
the cute clothes and getting all thegood deals, it really like helped me
find my fashion and my love forfashion, which now is a little bit
of a problem, but that's okay, Yeah, spending a little bit too
much money literally, but yeah,I mean as far as good things,
(07:36):
those are two that I can thinkabout. Do you have any good things
about a specific job? Yeah,okay, so I would get into the
bad things later. Yeah, SoI had a couple of jobs. So
my first job was I worked atthe movie theater when I was in high
school. So that was really funbecause one over the summertime, I was
like an ac. I could watchfree movies like anytime I wanted to.
The environment there was so nice,Like everybody was around the same age,
(07:59):
so yeah, like everybody like Ihad like a couple of people who went
to like my high school, acouple of people went to like another high
school. We would do like hikestogether. Actually, my first boyfriend we
worked together really yeah, which wasvery awkward after we broke up. Very
don't recommend dating somebody that you workwith. It's really awkward after things go
(08:20):
bad. Yeah, literally, SoI really did like that job, and
especially for a first job, thatwas like it was very chilled and relaxed.
Obviously in the summertime it got alittle bit busy because everybody would go
to the movies back then before COVID, so that was that was nice.
We got like half off on popcornthat it was like a lot of good
benefits for when you're a teenager,you know. Hm. So that was
(08:41):
a good job. I really enjoyedthat when I was there for like a
couple of years. And then Ialso worked at Dutch Bros. Which was
who I'm thankful for that job becauseit got me out of my comfort zone
a little bit because you had tobe like a very friendly as I don't
know if you've seen the memes ofDutch Bros. Workers, Yeah, like
we're in your car, like howdo you guys do it today? Which
(09:01):
wasn't I didn't like it, butit did give me out of my comfort
zone. Of course, we hadfree drinks all the time, like when
you're on shift, can you lovethat? Who is so good? I
would always make myself a drink,even off shift. I think we get
like one free drink. Well youcan get as many free drinks as you
want, but you can only getone at a time. So, uh,
(09:22):
that was fun. And what elsewas there? It was in a
small coffee shop. I really likeddoing the making the coffee. I feel
like, I know memorize a lotof the recipes, so if I ever
do get an express the machine,I can definitely make some. So I'm
excited for whenever that happens. Yea. What else was good about my job?
(09:43):
The people there also, we werelike over eighteen, so we're all
like very young and like what's brolike literally energy. Yeah, my boss
was really cool too, or likethe person who owned the Dutch Bros.
The franchise, franchisee the franchising.Yeah, so like we would have holiday
parties and she was she has somemoney, okay, Like people want Disneyland
(10:05):
tickets. Like I'm like, yeah, I'm not me though, because I'm
not lucky. I was not lookingraffles, but yeah, people would like
Disneyland tickets, hotel tickets. LikeI'm telling you. My boss was she
was making money okay, And yeahthat was fun. And then my last
job, I just quit on thespot. Was that a mental health facility?
(10:26):
That job? I had nothing goodto say about that job, so
we get into that later. Butyeah, oh my gosh, that's crazy.
Yeah, I met a lot ofgood people. And it's so crazy
because I know, like in likeon TikTok or whatever, or people just
have a stigma not being close withtheir coworkers, which is so crazy to
me because I feel like every jobI had, I get super close to
like somebody and it's like like becomemy bestie. But what that does suck,
(10:50):
though, is that when I quit, we kind of stopped contact.
I will so follow each other andlike, oh my gosh, God,
you look so good or like,but then it's like harder to keep and
yeah, because like you don't hangout much anymore, especially since like I
live in Fairfield and a lot ofmy well, that job and then this
job here is like a cross thebridge and you can't find time. And
then when you get older, it'slike everybody has different schedules now. So
(11:11):
yeah, but that's funny because that'sone of the reasons why I kept my
gym job for so long. Somy gym, when I'm trying to think
about the dates. But that job, I still had it even right before
I like moved here. Yeah,actually i'd never really officially quit. So
she's still working there, you guys. I mean, I guess maybe I
(11:33):
could clock in for a shift orsomething, but so many But the reason
why I had kept that one forso long was because I was only working
Sundays at that point. I wouldgo in for like a quick shift.
I had a free membership. ButI also got to see like one of
my really good friends because I mether there. We've now because I've worked
there for so long at that gym, it was maybe like eight years.
(11:54):
Wow. Yeah, but again itwas like while I had I always had
another job. Yeah, but Iwe's kept that job on the weekends because
it was when I got to seemy friend. We would like pull out
our agenda's plan out our life,like we have therapy sessions, me and
my Bessie at the mental health wedo that. We were getting our life
together, like we had an agendagoals like thirty like we were getting our
(12:16):
shit done like we were Yeah.Yeah, I loved it. Whenever I
worked with her, it was likean amazing shit Like it didn't feel like
work, oh well, because weweren't doing work. But oh my gosh,
I'm telling you. At that job, it just was so like especially
on the weekends because during the weekI guess they were a little more strict,
but during the weekends, like itwould be so funny because the first
(12:37):
couple of years that we worked together, I would know that if she went
out that like night before, likeokay, let me make sure that I
get there early because she's she won'tand vice versa. Or sometimes if I
if I was like if I wentout the night before and I was really
like going through it, the nextmorning, I'd go into like one of
the rooms and just sleep. That'sso but hear this guy is such a
(13:03):
hard worker, you know. Butit's like you really get to bond with
people, and I think obviously sometimeslike customer service jobs, like they can
really get under your skin because sometimespeople can be really rude, like I
I guess I'll say, like that'sone of the things that I really didn't
like about working at Forever twenty oneis like people have no respect for retail
(13:28):
workers. Yeah, unless you've workedthere, I feel like you don't And
obviously you don't have to work thereto have respect for them. But I
think when you do, you area little nicer about the way you leave
things. But oh my gosh,people would leave, you know, their
Starbucks cups or their drinks right thereby the food, or they leave everything
(13:50):
like on the floor if they forsome reason can't pick it up, you
know. But yeah, I guessthat's one of the things that I really
didn't like, is just the factthat you're already like struggling trying to like,
you know, get your section cleaned, and then there's somebody everything up.
I hate that, and I hatedthat when I would see stuff,
I'm like, why are people leavingtheir stuff like this? Like, yeah,
(14:13):
I'm not. I never worked atretail, thankfully, I'm so glad
that was not one of my jobs, but like, I feel really bad
seeing stuff so scattered. My cousinshe used to work at Ross. Oh
my god, people would like tearup that place so badly, and like
yeah, she would say she wouldfix something, come back and it's completely
yeah. And then my sister workedthere too. She would say the same
thing, like she would constantly haveto like re arrange things back because people
(14:37):
just don't know I'm like, peopledon't know how to put stuff back there,
got to finish my sentence. No, oh my god, improvement.
I love it. Yeah, theyreally don't. But you know, it's
funny because there was a really bigdifference between working at a bigger store like
Forever twenty one and then working atlike I worked that I think it was.
(15:01):
Was it Zuomis? I think itwas that one for a couple of
weeks only, oh gosh, becauseI was like, so I was still
working for over twenty one, butI was like, I'm trying to get
more money, like let me,let me get a second job. Yeah,
And so I got the job atZuomi's, which, by the way,
they did had like three interviews forthat, and I was like,
(15:22):
girlsh I think I have a storyabout an interview thing too that I need
to go through. Yeah, okay, don't forget it. Do not forget
Okay. So I go through theinterview process, I get the job right,
and they explain in the beginning,and I don't know if I've already
talked about this on the podcast.Maybe I have. I'm sorry if I
have, But they explain at thebeginning, like the more I guess interactions
(15:43):
you have and the more you sell, Like if a customer goes up to
the cash register and they're like,oh yeah, so and so helped me,
like they they like keep track ofthat. I was wondering. I
felt like it because I do,yeah, you're asking if anybody help.
Well, at least at that storewhen I worked there for three weeks,
they they kept track of that,and they made it seem like the more
(16:03):
money you made them like, themore hours you were going to get.
Right, So I was like,all right, cool. I started off
with just eight hours, and thenthat first week goes by and I see
my name highlighted at the like inthe back of the store, and I
was like, all right, cool, Like that means I'm gonna get more.
I'm gonna get more hours because I'mclearly making like because I was making
like a good amount of money forthem, bless you. And next thing,
(16:29):
you know, like another week goesby, and another week goes by,
and I'm oh, sorry, blessyou. Another week goes by,
and another week goes by and I'mstill just getting eight hours, and I'm
kind of like, all right,I thought you said I was gonna get
more. And then that wasn't reallythe I mean in part that was one
of the things that turned me offabout that job, because I was like,
then why did I get a secondjob If I'm only going to be
(16:52):
getting eight hours I can pick theseup, yeah or here at Forever twenty
one. But then also the managerswere so rude, and I was like,
if I have another job, Idon't need you guys to be treating
me like this literally, so what'sthe goal. I don't understand why managers
are so rude to their employees.Like, first of all, no offense.
I'm saying no offense, but offend. I'm gonna offense some people.
But it is a freaking clothing store, Like it's not like some top business,
(17:15):
even if your top position, treatyour employees like that. But like,
come on now like this, likegive me a probably, And the
thing is like, okay, Iget it if you're giving me attitude if
I'm not doing my job, butyeah, like when when I hate it
to retail, I was like onpoint period said like I because I loved
helping people find outfits. Yeah,and oh you're a good worker. Yeah.
(17:38):
I would always like, well,mainly I for ever twenty one,
because again, the managers are meat Zoomy's, so like uh. There
was one specific moment and that waswhat like just made me like be like
all right, them out. Ilike get to the store and the manager's
like, oh, like, gowait in the back. And at this
point I was already I was alreadthinking about quitting because it and there were
(18:00):
other instances. So at this pointI'm like, all right, I'll go
wait in the back. And therewas like a walkie talkie that we had,
so I'm waiting in the back forher because that's what she said.
And then she's like, oh,did you clock in already on the walkie
And I was like yeah, andshe's like, then what are you doing?
Eh? Hell yeah. I waslike, oh you said to wait
(18:21):
in the back and she's like,oh, well no, can you just
come to the front or whatever.And at that point, again there was
already other things that had happened,so I was like, Okay, you're
not about to give me attitude andonly give me eight hours a week.
Yeah, I have and all thiswork, so I should quit. That's
why I wouldn't. I literally,so I went up to the front.
I think I did some work aroundthe store. Mind you, working at
(18:42):
that store was so boring. Ican only imagine. They're small. It's
small, and everything's already fixed,and like, what am I supposed to
fix when everything is already fixed andI already finished and there's no go backs
and there's nothing. Yeah. SoI remember going up to the front and
then I I think I just saidlike, oh, by the way,
(19:02):
like I don't think I'm gonna beable to like continue working here anymore.
And she's like, oh, okay, so like when's your last day?
And I was like, I thinkit was me today. She's like,
put that up on the JV show. Because when I quit, everybody was
like, oh my gosh, cheating. I think I did mention that I
had quit one of my jobs.Maybe they were focused on your on your
(19:26):
yeah, because I literally just textedmy boss. I wanted to text him
and block him, but I justtext. I kept ignoring his calls too,
so I was like, I'm I'mover this job. I don't you
cannot convince me to come back.Then they convinced me to come back,
and then I quit, like ohmy god. Later see I won't do
it through text and I was alreadycrying, like that was a yeah day,
(19:48):
and I just didn't want to talk, like I just wanted to drive
home and not even like deal withit. Yeah, And I was like,
am I supposed to tell my auntand uncle I just quit this job?
I was like, well, there'smy money? Like, because that
job it was paying Like I tellyou, it was paying me a lot
of money. I still come like, damn, should I have quit that
job? But I feel like Iwas about to get in a lot of
trouble. I feel like I wasmaking out. I was very passionate because
(20:15):
I feel like I was I wasmaking no money at that second job you
were, and I was getting treatedso bad, and I was like now
another thing. Sorry that I'm bashingthe Zuomi's name on this podcast, but
it might have just been that thatspecific that were in those managers. But
they so anytime anybody came in,like you had to like hound them,
(20:37):
like you had annoying. You hadto like go up to as a customer
that yeah, no, I know, and I hated doing it. You
had to go up to them.You had to be like, oh,
you know, can I help youfind something or whatever? But then also
try to open up a fitting roomfor them. Right. Once the open
a fitting room for them, theywanted you to, like, based on
the items that they had, gogo and find an item yourself and recommend
(21:02):
it to them. What's kind ofselling shit? So I would have to
go and be like, oh,hey, I noticed that you had this
flannel, Like we also have this, and I think you would like it
if you want to try it on, Like here you go. Zooms is
so expensive anyway. Yeah, soit was like, oh gosh, I
was like, I don't want todo this now that I know I'm not
going to go to Zoomies anymore.I don't know anywhere would they do that
(21:22):
anymore, or that they do itat all stores. But they definitely made
me do that when I was selling. Maybe they were just kind of like,
let me give you something to truebout. Maybe, but you know,
but I definitely did not like doingthat. Yeah, but I feel like,
I guess I've had like quite abit of different types of jobs because
(21:47):
I did retail, then I workedat the gym. Then I also worked
at a doctor's office. Wow.That's yeah, that's surprising. I wasn't
expecting you to say that yeah,which honestly, I didn't hate it because
I love what did you do?I did front desk. But then let's
just say like things after a whilestarted feeling like I shouldn't be allowed to
(22:11):
do this, oh, you knowbecause certificates or something like I was like,
am I allowed to be like takingpeople's like blood like checking, but
you're definitely doing or whatever. You'redefinitely being a medical assistant, which you
need a certificate for. I'm overhere like checking people's blood pressure, checking
their vitals like okay, you knowI did that on my other job too,
(22:32):
which I'll get into the word quitlike it's the same thing. And
I was like, I definitely feellike this is illegal, but yeah,
it felt like it wasn't like Idon't have I don't have the proper training
for this, because I felt badif like I had to be like poking
somebody they had you poke me?Yeah, So I had to get like
there, I had to get thelike the testing their blood testing, yeah,
(22:53):
to test either sugar, yeah,to check sugar or you know,
do whatever I had to do.But I just be there, like I
just I don't think you're supposed todo that? Did you lie? On
your application or what I did.I didn't ask for that. I literally
just applied, you see the fineprint. I applied, I got the
job. I was working front desk. Then all of a sudden, I'm
(23:15):
doing more things. That's hilarious.Actually, that's not hilarious. The doctor
liked me and no, and thenso I had to like approve medications like
I was in charge of Like obviouslyit was like I had to ask the
doctor first, but I had togo into the system and like, yeah,
you're definitely was being a medical assistant. That's what your job would say
on your resume. Look at megetting experience in a field. That's hilarious.
(23:41):
So if anybody's hiring a part timemedical assistance with experience, the certificate,
though, experience goes a long way. Yeah, but yeah, you
know, I feel like I've donea little bit of a lot, a
whole lot, you know, notmy radio crazy turns, I swear,
(24:03):
let's see. Okay, So formy jobs, the things I hated about
them or what I didn't like,Honestly, I think my movie job was
pretty decent. Like the only thingI did is cleaning up after people because
people would be so freaking dirty,spilling Nato cheese on the on the the
seats, having like whole boxes atpizza and wings, like stuff is so
(24:23):
dirty. I'm like, this ishow you guys leave your house, like
leave places like public places. Yeah, like okay, if it's a couple
of things, like maybe like apopcorn baket, you don't want to put
the thing. What pissed me offthough, is that we would bring in
the garbage can like in the frontso people could like dump their trash in
there. So it's not asking forthat much, but no, people will
literally leave their stuff so messy.I get spilled popcorn because stuff happened,
(24:45):
but like leaving your trash like comeon out. And I think that's the
only thing I hated. What becauseI feel like people are very particular about
the type of coffee that they like. I mean, even us today,
we had or we've kind of hada bad experience with the way we get
our coffee made. Oh yeah,we've gotten her coffee made like the past
(25:06):
like three times when we walk yeahto get coffee here. So I feel
like, I mean, we don'tcause the scene, but I feel like
there are a lot of people thatmaybe are very strict about the way they
like their coffee. So did youever experience like really rude customers? Oh
for Dutch bros. Let's see,I don't. I think I experienced somebody
(25:26):
who said I was rooted them,which was I was like really yeah,
like my cousin, my sorry,my manager, not my manager, the
people that are work with me,my coworkers. Yeah, they were like
I don't know, why can Ithink of that word? My coworkers are
like cheated? What the hell areyou talking about? Because like I'm like,
I'm nice, Like I'm the niceperson. Even sometimes I'm like like,
how's your day going? Like youknow, like I'm not going to
(25:47):
be rude to you, Like that'sjust weird to me. I can't be
rude if I never don't know youlike that, you know what I mean?
So like this wasn't Customers said thatI was being like I was rude
to her or whatever and her andher husband, and I was just so
confused because I'm like, I literallyjust took your order and I don't know
what you're talking about. Like I'llask you questions like okay, like what
kind of drink do you want?How do you want it? Okay,
cool, Like okay, perfect,just go to the window or do you
(26:07):
want to pay here or cash orwhatever. So I like, I'm never
root to anybody when I first seethem or you know whatever, because obviously
this is my job. I'm notsupposed to be like you're supposed to be
nice with making orders and stuff likethat. I don't think, as I
think with Dutch bros, people don'tget mad at you that easily because they
know how we are. We hadthat sigma being super nice and they we're
like, oh, sorry, wedidn't and usually if they do get kind
(26:30):
of antsy, we give them afree drink or put it on the house.
So we did a lot of that. So yeah, yeah, so
you definitely try not to have thosescenarios where yeah, people get crazy exactly.
So sometimes like if we make adrink wrong, we're like, oh,
shoot, we're so sorry. We'llgive you a couple extra stamps and
then you can go, and they'rethey're happy about that. So, like,
I don't know, I never hadlike a really bad experience with a
customer. Yeah, even I waseven a shift lee too, so I
(26:53):
had to deal with like, ohno, let me tell you the drama
with that I started because I waslike fairly new and I my six months,
I like got promoted because my likeI was like, well mad people
were mad, and it was sofunny because these people im mad were hired
after me. So I was justlike, oh, okay, why are
you mad? Like people think Ididn't deserve it, or like like this
(27:15):
one girl, she was like shefelt some type a couple of people felt
some type of way who were hired. Oh, one was actually hired before
me. And I was just like, well, it's because of like your
work ethic. Like I was likemaking sure I was I was never involved
in drama. Yeah, and likeI kept doing like the things I needed
to do. And this girl shewas just giving me attitude. Like when
(27:37):
I was on ship, she wouldnot listen to me or she would ever
like, oh I don't think weneed to do that. And I'm like,
well, I'm the shift Lee,Like I'm the s my shift.
So I know, I had acouple incens with us, some people that
were that felt some type of wayof me being a shift Lee. Yeah,
And I was like and then atthe end of the day, I
I stopp being a shift because Idon't like it anymore. So I really
like, yeah, I was likethis is too much. I'm not getting
(27:59):
paid for this and I have otheroptions now, so I don't want to
go with this. Like everything wouldgo on like it was fun being a
shift fleet, but then it's likethat responsibility of like other things that I
was just like I don't really wantto do with that. Yeah, going
to like if you have like waittimes that we're too too long, like
our boss would be like, weneed to fix this obviously, which is
and it would land on you.Yeah, we'll land on it well any
(28:22):
all the shift lees. So it'sjust like it's not our fault because we'd
be asking for stuff. And thenI was a closer, so I always
always closed, so like after wewould you know, like we have to
be out in like forty five minutes, but we have to like clean out
the whole store, like clean everythingand wash everything and sanitize everything, so
and restock the fridge, restock allthe stuff and mind you, Dutch Pros
(28:45):
is busy, like literally up untilwe close, it is so busy.
Like sometimes we have like line,especially in the summertime, we have lines
like going to the street, likeit is so busy, so it was
just really hard to like make sureeverything was clean, and the openers would
kind of like there's a joke whenthe openers come in and they're like,
oh, this place is so youknow, like yeah, not up to
standards. So like we'll get liketalked to you about like having our clothes,
(29:07):
and we're like, seriously, guys, like the managers like you you
guys close and tell us like andthen we'll judge you, yeah, how
your clothes look like, because likeif we're being for real, like and
and mind you, like it wasso busy, but we only four of
us that night, and we'll closedown a like the expresso bar on the
back so it's just the front one. So we can only make certain amount,
like only make so much drinks.And that's what drives me insane because
(29:30):
sometimes we had drinks that like havesix shots of expresso, and mind you,
we only have like three expresso things, so like you have to constantly
like be put in that's just forone drinks, for one drink, And
then mind you, you have likepeople taking orders, so you see like
this whole screen filled with orders thatlike you have to wipe to see more
orders and then you have it's notjust a coffee shop. We have like
(29:52):
blended energy drinks. We have milkshakesmoothies, so sometimes people order that stuff,
so we get to do coffee andthat which it was just a lot.
That's why I do feel like maybeI mean both are hard retail and
for the food industry, but Ifeel like the food industry people you have
to be on it literally because atleast maybe with with shopping, people take
their time a little bit more,they're maybe willing to be a little bit
(30:15):
nicer. But when it comes toespecially fast food or anything that you want
to get quick, like a coffee, people are like impatient literally, like
I know, like and it feelsbad because sometimes will take like the whole
the whole line, and then yousee people's way times twenty minutes, thirty
minutes, and I'm just like,oh my gosh, if I was them,
I would be pissed because like,where is my drink? So and
(30:36):
that's what we have to do.Some extra stamps or hates on us today
because the wait times, Like you'vebeen in line, yeah, but I'm
like people in front of you orderlike twenty drinks, like there's only so
much we could do. So Ihated that, especially in the summertime because
everybody would be at Dutch Bros.Especially if people got off of school mm
hmm, the lines looking crazy andwe had no help at night, so
oh my gosh, yesh wow.So that's what I hated. And then
(31:00):
oh, and then my mental healthjob. You guys, the managers there
so bad, Like I hate it. I hated that place. If you
if I'll show you like on theirif you go on indeed or like Google
reviews or whatever, like so manyof the people who work there have so
much negative reviews about this place,like it's so bad, Like I think
it's like one one star or liketwo stars out of like work experience,
(31:25):
so like it was just, ohmy gosh, toxic work. It was
so toxic, like so bad.And then like you said about doing stuff
that you felt like you should havebeen doing. We were giving meds,
like we were going to the drawno, get the meds, and then
we technically couldn't hand it to them, but we could put it on the
(31:45):
thing on the counter, on thecounter, and then then then the patient
could take it. And we weredoing like doing their vitals and stuff.
We didn't have to poke them oranything with anything, but like giving meds.
I was like, I definitely,and we refuse and the threatened us
that if we refuse to give medsthat they would ride us up for it.
But we're like, we're not trained, like they did a training,
but like this is not part ofour job description, Like this is not
(32:07):
what we signed up for. Andat one time, meds got stolen,
right and this was like locked up, like this was a special locked up
med. I forgot what they calledit, but it was like, yeah,
like a it was a med thatyou couldn't just open, like you
had to have you had to countit every day to make sure there's the
(32:28):
right amount of meds in there,like you'd have to document it. And
so yeah, when one day itwas me and one of my good friends
that we were working together, thenurse comes in and was like, hey,
can we talk to you real quick? And we're like, yeah,
what's going on? And she saidthat there's only like four meds left and
it was like thirty two like theday before, and we were like what
(32:49):
the hell, And like the blamegot on us because we're the ones that
going in and out of the themedicine cabinet in the medicine room, right
because there's a whole room and we'relike medicine Kevina, Yeah yeah, medicine
Kena. So I was just likewe were like freaking no freaking out and
there was like no cameras at thistime, where they're like this is why
(33:09):
we didn't want to be a partof this because now it's like open for
anybody to be like, Okay,well you guys are here, what were
you doing during this time? Andstuff like that. And then eventually,
like I think after one of thenurse actually quit because she was like this
kid, she can lose her licensefor this. And after like she quit,
(33:30):
and then we ended up closing thathouse, going to a different house
and they like renovated the house andthen like they found the meds like underneath
a client's like like the carpet,so we found out who ended up taking
it for like this is insane.Yeah, it was bad, and oh
my gosh. The clients were likeI know that it's a mental health facility,
behavioral health, so of course they'renot gonna be angels. But man,
(33:52):
I like was like some kids tryingto fight me, like it's just
so bad. Like it was justlike, okay, I think that was
like the words shop I've ever had, like and I fell back. So
some clients I really I did likeand they were really cool and like they
you could tell they wanted help.And then some of the kids were just
like, oh my gosh. Reallyyeah, Like I'm like, when can
(34:14):
I quit? And that's when Iquit on the days because something happened and
I was just like, I'm overit. I'm done with this job.
I can't do it no more.Y'all not pay me enough. I hate
the managers. The managers are neveron our side. Okay, that's my
my rant. Okay, I thinkI think we're done with the topic of
jobs because we've yeah, I've coveredit all sort of. Do we want
(34:36):
to go through the list of things? I hope can say that for another
time. Yeah, I feel likewe ranted off too much. We'll say
that for Tuesday. And I hopeyou have a good weekend. What else
I think that's all? Yeah,Yeah, I'm enjoying your weekend. Oh
it might be sunny this weekend,so fun, yeah, fun, go
out there, do some hot girlsummer, do something okay, Bye bye
Welcome back to the Young and Unscriptedpodcast. Woo Happy Thursday. It's just
and Cheaty and today we are gonnacatch up with Cheaty. We're gonna see
how her doctor's appointment went yesterday.We're also going to talk about the previous
jobs that we've had and maybe thingsthat we liked and didn't like about those
jobs. Gets we're gonna spill thetea. And then we also want to
(00:23):
talk about the list of things thatyour date notices about you right away,
and we're going to see if theseare things that maybe you do notice don't
notice, and we'll see where thistakes us. Yeah, so you guys
went to my doctor's appointment yesterday.First of all, I haven't been there
a long time, a couple ofyears. Okay, I know I want
to do a routine checkup, butI really wanted to, you know,
(00:45):
ask my doctor a lot of morequestions because over the past couple of years,
I feel like I'm like, Okay, this is what's wrong with me,
this is what's wrong with me.Okay, I need definitely talk to
my doctor about this. But likeone of the biggest concerns I had was
like I think I have ADHD causesome of the symptoms of ADHD, I
feel like I can relate to,for example, talking over people or finishing
people's sentence. Jess, I knowI did this to you a lot at
(01:07):
the time, I apologize and that'sokay. I feel like I do the
same. I feel like our mindsare just always racing, literally, like
so many different things we'd be thinkingabout, if that makes sense. Yeah,
because we'll start a sentence and thenanother thought pops in, and so
we'll start another sentence, but wedon't finish the one that we started before.
So I feel like we're on thesame wavelength. So we understand each
(01:32):
other, but then tell other peoplewe can read each other's mime like I've
been trying to understand as could belike a little tough. Yeah, definitely,
definitely. And then also what elsedid I say? Oh, I'm
very like forgetful and like disorganized,so disorganized. You guys my room.
I have lunch. I did laundrylike maybe a week ago, put it
(01:53):
in my basket, have not eventouched it, like, haven't even touched
it, like to put it away. I can't do it, Like it's
just so bad. So I havean appointment with a psychiatrist to see if
you know your girl got ADHD andyeah, we'll see where we go from
there. So if they do,I guess suggest any sort of medication to
help with focus, Are you goingto be taking that or you see?
(02:16):
Because that's what scares me. Yeah, And I know, like medication is
so freaking scary because I feel likethere's also like other ways, like holistic
ways maybe like to go about thingsmore healthier. But I feel like,
since I've been living this way forso long, I want to see how
the improvement is with medication because Ifeel like it could benefit my life,
especially if I want to go backinto school, and that's something I struggled
(02:38):
with a lot, was like stayingon top of assignments and being organized and
like focusing. Yeah, so ifthat could help me with that, then
definitely I'm going to go for it. But I did hear some stuff like
it takes your creativity out a littlebit because you're more like very hyper focused.
So I'm kind of scared about that. So I think I'll test it
down. If it's not good,I'll like dial it back and then probably
only do it like once in awhile or like when I really need to
(03:00):
need it. Yeah, but we'llsee all did you guys? And if
I don't have it your girl,No, I don't know what I'm gonna
do. Like I don't have it, then what's wrong? I know?
Literally, I'm like, okay,gotta reevaluate my whole life because I don't
know if we're gonna I don't knowhow we're gonna move forward from here.
So it's kind of like a loosethose situation. Yeah, literally, So
yeah, keep us updated on Iwill. So. Yeah. I wanted
(03:23):
us to talk a little bit moreabout previous jobs that we've had, because
I feel like we have talked alot about our journey with the radio,
yeah, like how we started inradio and everything. Maybe we've touched a
little bit on our previous jobs,but we haven't really gone into it a
lot. So I figured we'd justtalk about some good things and some bad
things about like the jobs that we'vehad in the past. For sure,
(03:46):
do you want to go first?Uh? Sure? So one of my
jobs that I still like think aboutas it being I mean in a good
way and in a bad way.Okay, it was forever twenty one,
Oh, so I worked there fortwo years and it was I want to
say, like twenty fourteen to twentysixteen or something like that, and not
(04:06):
gonna lie. Sometimes I do lookback and I'm like, dang, Like
it was so fun working there becausethere's a lot of there's a lot of
drama. Oh no, that's why, well, a lot of reasons,
but you know, I love thedrama. I love the tea as long
as I'm not involved in it,period. So I one of the two
things actually that I loved from there. One that's where I met my best
(04:30):
friend. Shout out to Louis.We were in the same interview together because
it was group interviews. So Idon't know that if a lot of retail
shops do group interviews, nowaday youlike? I feel like it. That's
when I ask you, do youlike group interviews more than like when on
one interviews? No? Really,I love group interviews because it puts the
pressure off of you. I know, but it doesn't because then it's like
(04:55):
they can pick them instead of you. Yeah, but you just as long
as you're more vocal than everybody else, I like they'll pick you things.
Yeah. I had a group interviewfor radio here really Yeah, And it
was like, oh, it wasprobably like eight of us, and I
literally like they went around a roomand all had to just be vocal and
just be listening to everybody else.And I feel like they can catch your
person your personality put quotes because sometimesit's fake, but you like, I
(05:18):
just feel like it's so much easieryou can feed off of people, like
Okay, that was a good answer, That was a good answer. Okay,
how am I gonna like put thoseanswers together? So I don't know,
I feel like it's easier. Ifeel like one on one is more
intimidating because like you're really focusing onme. Wow, Okay, I can
see that. I think for me, yeah, I was just kind of
like, oh my gosh, allof these people are here, they're gonna
(05:39):
pick them. But I remember wearingbecause look back then we dressed up for
interviews and back then, yeah,I guess, oh my god, it
was ten years ago. Oh youthinkcause we're in twenty twenty. Fo I
don't say that. Don't say that. Okay, anyways, ten years ago.
So there I am like wearing mylittle blazer and my flats to my
little interview one and we had tosell our outfit to the group. So
(06:04):
that is embarrassing. So you literallyhad to say like, oh, like
if there was a customer here,like how would you sell your outfits?
You had to be like, youknow, would have just left the interview
like I'm done, no, thankyou, fine, But it's just so
funny to think about now. AndI know my best friend and I we
always look back at that day andthat moment. I think I talked about
(06:27):
my blazer being like very versatile,like you can trust this up where you
can truss it down. So Idid pretty good. Not gonna lie.
Obviously you get hired. But it'sjust crazy to me that like, had
I not applied to that job,I wouldn't have never met my best friend.
That's crazy. Yeah, And sowe had that same interview, So
that was one thing that I loved, was meeting my bestie. But also
(06:51):
I feel like before Forever twenty one, I didn't really have my sense of
style, which I don't really thinkI have a very specific sense of stuff.
I think I like wearing like abunch of different random things. But
before then, I don't think Ireally experimented with any any sort of different
(07:12):
style. I kind of would justwear random things that wouldn't even like really
fit me that well. And soI think from working there and seeing all
the cute clothes and getting all thegood deals, it really like helped me
find my fashion and my love forfashion, which now is a little bit
of a problem, but that's okay, Yeah, spending a little bit too
much money literally, but yeah,I mean as far as good things,
(07:36):
those are two that I can thinkabout. Do you have any good things
about a specific job? Yeah,okay, so I would get into the
bad things later. Yeah, SoI had a couple of jobs. So
my first job was I worked atthe movie theater when I was in high
school. So that was really funbecause one over the summertime, I was
like an ac. I could watchfree movies like anytime I wanted to.
The environment there was so nice,Like everybody was around the same age,
(07:59):
so yeah, like everybody like Ihad like a couple of people who went
to like my high school, acouple of people went to like another high
school. We would do like hikestogether. Actually, my first boyfriend we
worked together really yeah, which wasvery awkward after we broke up. Very
don't recommend dating somebody that you workwith. It's really awkward after things go
(08:20):
bad. Yeah, literally, SoI really did like that job, and
especially for a first job, thatwas like it was very chilled and relaxed.
Obviously in the summertime it got alittle bit busy because everybody would go
to the movies back then before COVID, so that was that was nice.
We got like half off on popcornthat it was like a lot of good
benefits for when you're a teenager,you know. Hm. So that was
(08:41):
a good job. I really enjoyedthat when I was there for like a
couple of years. And then Ialso worked at Dutch Bros. Which was
who I'm thankful for that job becauseit got me out of my comfort zone
a little bit because you had tobe like a very friendly as I don't
know if you've seen the memes ofDutch Bros. Workers, Yeah, like
we're in your car, like howdo you guys do it today? Which
(09:01):
wasn't I didn't like it, butit did give me out of my comfort
zone. Of course, we hadfree drinks all the time, like when
you're on shift, can you lovethat? Who is so good? I
would always make myself a drink,even off shift. I think we get
like one free drink. Well youcan get as many free drinks as you
want, but you can only getone at a time. So, uh,
(09:22):
that was fun. And what elsewas there? It was in a
small coffee shop. I really likeddoing the making the coffee. I feel
like, I know memorize a lotof the recipes, so if I ever
do get an express the machine,I can definitely make some. So I'm
excited for whenever that happens. Yea. What else was good about my job?
(09:43):
The people there also, we werelike over eighteen, so we're all
like very young and like what's brolike literally energy. Yeah, my boss
was really cool too, or likethe person who owned the Dutch Bros.
The franchise, franchisee the franchising.Yeah, so like we would have holiday
parties and she was she has somemoney, okay, Like people want Disneyland
(10:05):
tickets. Like I'm like, yeah, I'm not me though, because I'm
not lucky. I was not lookingraffles, but yeah, people would like
Disneyland tickets, hotel tickets. LikeI'm telling you. My boss was she
was making money okay, And yeahthat was fun. And then my last
job, I just quit on thespot. Was that a mental health facility?
(10:26):
That job? I had nothing goodto say about that job, so
we get into that later. Butyeah, oh my gosh, that's crazy.
Yeah, I met a lot ofgood people. And it's so crazy
because I know, like in likeon TikTok or whatever, or people just
have a stigma not being close withtheir coworkers, which is so crazy to
me because I feel like every jobI had, I get super close to
like somebody and it's like like becomemy bestie. But what that does suck,
(10:50):
though, is that when I quit, we kind of stopped contact.
I will so follow each other andlike, oh my gosh, God,
you look so good or like,but then it's like harder to keep and
yeah, because like you don't hangout much anymore, especially since like I
live in Fairfield and a lot ofmy well, that job and then this
job here is like a cross thebridge and you can't find time. And
then when you get older, it'slike everybody has different schedules now. So
(11:11):
yeah, but that's funny because that'sone of the reasons why I kept my
gym job for so long. Somy gym, when I'm trying to think
about the dates. But that job, I still had it even right before
I like moved here. Yeah,actually i'd never really officially quit. So
she's still working there, you guys. I mean, I guess maybe I
(11:33):
could clock in for a shift orsomething, but so many But the reason
why I had kept that one forso long was because I was only working
Sundays at that point. I wouldgo in for like a quick shift.
I had a free membership. ButI also got to see like one of
my really good friends because I mether there. We've now because I've worked
there for so long at that gym, it was maybe like eight years.
(11:54):
Wow. Yeah, but again itwas like while I had I always had
another job. Yeah, but Iwe's kept that job on the weekends because
it was when I got to seemy friend. We would like pull out
our agenda's plan out our life,like we have therapy sessions, me and
my Bessie at the mental health wedo that. We were getting our life
together, like we had an agendagoals like thirty like we were getting our
(12:16):
shit done like we were Yeah.Yeah, I loved it. Whenever I
worked with her, it was likean amazing shit Like it didn't feel like
work, oh well, because weweren't doing work. But oh my gosh,
I'm telling you. At that job, it just was so like especially
on the weekends because during the weekI guess they were a little more strict,
but during the weekends, like itwould be so funny because the first
(12:37):
couple of years that we worked together, I would know that if she went
out that like night before, likeokay, let me make sure that I
get there early because she's she won'tand vice versa. Or sometimes if I
if I was like if I wentout the night before and I was really
like going through it, the nextmorning, I'd go into like one of
the rooms and just sleep. That'sso but hear this guy is such a
(13:03):
hard worker, you know. Butit's like you really get to bond with
people, and I think obviously sometimeslike customer service jobs, like they can
really get under your skin because sometimespeople can be really rude, like I
I guess I'll say, like that'sone of the things that I really didn't
like about working at Forever twenty oneis like people have no respect for retail
(13:28):
workers. Yeah, unless you've workedthere, I feel like you don't And
obviously you don't have to work thereto have respect for them. But I
think when you do, you area little nicer about the way you leave
things. But oh my gosh,people would leave, you know, their
Starbucks cups or their drinks right thereby the food, or they leave everything
(13:50):
like on the floor if they forsome reason can't pick it up, you
know. But yeah, I guessthat's one of the things that I really
didn't like, is just the factthat you're already like struggling trying to like,
you know, get your section cleaned, and then there's somebody everything up.
I hate that, and I hatedthat when I would see stuff,
I'm like, why are people leavingtheir stuff like this? Like, yeah,
(14:13):
I'm not. I never worked atretail, thankfully, I'm so glad
that was not one of my jobs, but like, I feel really bad
seeing stuff so scattered. My cousinshe used to work at Ross. Oh
my god, people would like tearup that place so badly, and like
yeah, she would say she wouldfix something, come back and it's completely
yeah. And then my sister workedthere too. She would say the same
thing, like she would constantly haveto like re arrange things back because people
(14:37):
just don't know I'm like, peopledon't know how to put stuff back there,
got to finish my sentence. No, oh my god, improvement.
I love it. Yeah, theyreally don't. But you know, it's
funny because there was a really bigdifference between working at a bigger store like
Forever twenty one and then working atlike I worked that I think it was.
(15:01):
Was it Zuomis? I think itwas that one for a couple of
weeks only, oh gosh, becauseI was like, so I was still
working for over twenty one, butI was like, I'm trying to get
more money, like let me,let me get a second job. Yeah,
And so I got the job atZuomi's, which, by the way,
they did had like three interviews forthat, and I was like,
(15:22):
girlsh I think I have a storyabout an interview thing too that I need
to go through. Yeah, okay, don't forget it. Do not forget
Okay. So I go through theinterview process, I get the job right,
and they explain in the beginning,and I don't know if I've already
talked about this on the podcast.Maybe I have. I'm sorry if I
have, But they explain at thebeginning, like the more I guess interactions
(15:43):
you have and the more you sell, Like if a customer goes up to
the cash register and they're like,oh yeah, so and so helped me,
like they they like keep track ofthat. I was wondering. I
felt like it because I do,yeah, you're asking if anybody help.
Well, at least at that storewhen I worked there for three weeks,
they they kept track of that,and they made it seem like the more
(16:03):
money you made them like, themore hours you were going to get.
Right, So I was like,all right, cool. I started off
with just eight hours, and thenthat first week goes by and I see
my name highlighted at the like inthe back of the store, and I
was like, all right, cool, Like that means I'm gonna get more.
I'm gonna get more hours because I'mclearly making like because I was making
like a good amount of money forthem, bless you. And next thing,
(16:29):
you know, like another week goesby, and another week goes by,
and I'm oh, sorry, blessyou. Another week goes by,
and another week goes by and I'mstill just getting eight hours, and I'm
kind of like, all right,I thought you said I was gonna get
more. And then that wasn't reallythe I mean in part that was one
of the things that turned me offabout that job, because I was like,
then why did I get a secondjob If I'm only going to be
(16:52):
getting eight hours I can pick theseup, yeah or here at Forever twenty
one. But then also the managerswere so rude, and I was like,
if I have another job, Idon't need you guys to be treating
me like this literally, so what'sthe goal. I don't understand why managers
are so rude to their employees.Like, first of all, no offense.
I'm saying no offense, but offend. I'm gonna offense some people.
But it is a freaking clothing store, Like it's not like some top business,
(17:15):
even if your top position, treatyour employees like that. But like,
come on now like this, likegive me a probably, And the
thing is like, okay, Iget it if you're giving me attitude if
I'm not doing my job, butyeah, like when when I hate it
to retail, I was like onpoint period said like I because I loved
helping people find outfits. Yeah,and oh you're a good worker. Yeah.
(17:38):
I would always like, well,mainly I for ever twenty one,
because again, the managers are meat Zoomy's, so like uh. There
was one specific moment and that waswhat like just made me like be like
all right, them out. Ilike get to the store and the manager's
like, oh, like, gowait in the back. And at this
point I was already I was alreadthinking about quitting because it and there were
(18:00):
other instances. So at this pointI'm like, all right, I'll go
wait in the back. And therewas like a walkie talkie that we had,
so I'm waiting in the back forher because that's what she said.
And then she's like, oh,did you clock in already on the walkie
And I was like yeah, andshe's like, then what are you doing?
Eh? Hell yeah. I waslike, oh you said to wait
(18:21):
in the back and she's like,oh, well no, can you just
come to the front or whatever.And at that point, again there was
already other things that had happened,so I was like, Okay, you're
not about to give me attitude andonly give me eight hours a week.
Yeah, I have and all thiswork, so I should quit. That's
why I wouldn't. I literally,so I went up to the front.
I think I did some work aroundthe store. Mind you, working at
(18:42):
that store was so boring. Ican only imagine. They're small. It's
small, and everything's already fixed,and like, what am I supposed to
fix when everything is already fixed andI already finished and there's no go backs
and there's nothing. Yeah. SoI remember going up to the front and
then I I think I just saidlike, oh, by the way,
(19:02):
like I don't think I'm gonna beable to like continue working here anymore.
And she's like, oh, okay, so like when's your last day?
And I was like, I thinkit was me today. She's like,
put that up on the JV show. Because when I quit, everybody was
like, oh my gosh, cheating. I think I did mention that I
had quit one of my jobs.Maybe they were focused on your on your
(19:26):
yeah, because I literally just textedmy boss. I wanted to text him
and block him, but I justtext. I kept ignoring his calls too,
so I was like, I'm I'mover this job. I don't you
cannot convince me to come back.Then they convinced me to come back,
and then I quit, like ohmy god. Later see I won't do
it through text and I was alreadycrying, like that was a yeah day,
(19:48):
and I just didn't want to talk, like I just wanted to drive
home and not even like deal withit. Yeah, And I was like,
am I supposed to tell my auntand uncle I just quit this job?
I was like, well, there'smy money? Like, because that
job it was paying Like I tellyou, it was paying me a lot
of money. I still come like, damn, should I have quit that
job? But I feel like Iwas about to get in a lot of
trouble. I feel like I wasmaking out. I was very passionate because
(20:15):
I feel like I was I wasmaking no money at that second job you
were, and I was getting treatedso bad, and I was like now
another thing. Sorry that I'm bashingthe Zuomi's name on this podcast, but
it might have just been that thatspecific that were in those managers. But
they so anytime anybody came in,like you had to like hound them,
(20:37):
like you had annoying. You hadto like go up to as a customer
that yeah, no, I know, and I hated doing it. You
had to go up to them.You had to be like, oh,
you know, can I help youfind something or whatever? But then also
try to open up a fitting roomfor them. Right. Once the open
a fitting room for them, theywanted you to, like, based on
the items that they had, gogo and find an item yourself and recommend
(21:02):
it to them. What's kind ofselling shit? So I would have to
go and be like, oh,hey, I noticed that you had this
flannel, Like we also have this, and I think you would like it
if you want to try it on, Like here you go. Zooms is
so expensive anyway. Yeah, soit was like, oh gosh, I
was like, I don't want todo this now that I know I'm not
going to go to Zoomies anymore.I don't know anywhere would they do that
(21:22):
anymore, or that they do itat all stores. But they definitely made
me do that when I was selling. Maybe they were just kind of like,
let me give you something to truebout. Maybe, but you know,
but I definitely did not like doingthat. Yeah, but I feel like,
I guess I've had like quite abit of different types of jobs because
(21:47):
I did retail, then I workedat the gym. Then I also worked
at a doctor's office. Wow.That's yeah, that's surprising. I wasn't
expecting you to say that yeah,which honestly, I didn't hate it because
I love what did you do?I did front desk. But then let's
just say like things after a whilestarted feeling like I shouldn't be allowed to
(22:11):
do this, oh, you knowbecause certificates or something like I was like,
am I allowed to be like takingpeople's like blood like checking, but
you're definitely doing or whatever. You'redefinitely being a medical assistant, which you
need a certificate for. I'm overhere like checking people's blood pressure, checking
their vitals like okay, you knowI did that on my other job too,
(22:32):
which I'll get into the word quitlike it's the same thing. And
I was like, I definitely feellike this is illegal, but yeah,
it felt like it wasn't like Idon't have I don't have the proper training
for this, because I felt badif like I had to be like poking
somebody they had you poke me?Yeah, So I had to get like
there, I had to get thelike the testing their blood testing, yeah,
(22:53):
to test either sugar, yeah,to check sugar or you know,
do whatever I had to do.But I just be there, like I
just I don't think you're supposed todo that? Did you lie? On
your application or what I did.I didn't ask for that. I literally
just applied, you see the fineprint. I applied, I got the
job. I was working front desk. Then all of a sudden, I'm
(23:15):
doing more things. That's hilarious.Actually, that's not hilarious. The doctor
liked me and no, and thenso I had to like approve medications like
I was in charge of Like obviouslyit was like I had to ask the
doctor first, but I had togo into the system and like, yeah,
you're definitely was being a medical assistant. That's what your job would say
on your resume. Look at megetting experience in a field. That's hilarious.
(23:41):
So if anybody's hiring a part timemedical assistance with experience, the certificate,
though, experience goes a long way. Yeah, but yeah, you
know, I feel like I've donea little bit of a lot, a
whole lot, you know, notmy radio crazy turns, I swear,
(24:03):
let's see. Okay, So formy jobs, the things I hated about
them or what I didn't like,Honestly, I think my movie job was
pretty decent. Like the only thingI did is cleaning up after people because
people would be so freaking dirty,spilling Nato cheese on the on the the
seats, having like whole boxes atpizza and wings, like stuff is so
(24:23):
dirty. I'm like, this ishow you guys leave your house, like
leave places like public places. Yeah, like okay, if it's a couple
of things, like maybe like apopcorn baket, you don't want to put
the thing. What pissed me offthough, is that we would bring in
the garbage can like in the frontso people could like dump their trash in
there. So it's not asking forthat much, but no, people will
literally leave their stuff so messy.I get spilled popcorn because stuff happened,
(24:45):
but like leaving your trash like comeon out. And I think that's the
only thing I hated. What becauseI feel like people are very particular about
the type of coffee that they like. I mean, even us today,
we had or we've kind of hada bad experience with the way we get
our coffee made. Oh yeah,we've gotten her coffee made like the past
(25:06):
like three times when we walk yeahto get coffee here. So I feel
like, I mean, we don'tcause the scene, but I feel like
there are a lot of people thatmaybe are very strict about the way they
like their coffee. So did youever experience like really rude customers? Oh
for Dutch bros. Let's see,I don't. I think I experienced somebody
(25:26):
who said I was rooted them,which was I was like really yeah,
like my cousin, my sorry,my manager, not my manager, the
people that are work with me,my coworkers. Yeah, they were like
I don't know, why can Ithink of that word? My coworkers are
like cheated? What the hell areyou talking about? Because like I'm like,
I'm nice, Like I'm the niceperson. Even sometimes I'm like like,
how's your day going? Like youknow, like I'm not going to
(25:47):
be rude to you, Like that'sjust weird to me. I can't be
rude if I never don't know youlike that, you know what I mean?
So like this wasn't Customers said thatI was being like I was rude
to her or whatever and her andher husband, and I was just so
confused because I'm like, I literallyjust took your order and I don't know
what you're talking about. Like I'llask you questions like okay, like what
kind of drink do you want?How do you want it? Okay,
cool, Like okay, perfect,just go to the window or do you
(26:07):
want to pay here or cash orwhatever. So I like, I'm never
root to anybody when I first seethem or you know whatever, because obviously
this is my job. I'm notsupposed to be like you're supposed to be
nice with making orders and stuff likethat. I don't think, as I
think with Dutch bros, people don'tget mad at you that easily because they
know how we are. We hadthat sigma being super nice and they we're
like, oh, sorry, wedidn't and usually if they do get kind
(26:30):
of antsy, we give them afree drink or put it on the house.
So we did a lot of that. So yeah, yeah, so
you definitely try not to have thosescenarios where yeah, people get crazy exactly.
So sometimes like if we make adrink wrong, we're like, oh,
shoot, we're so sorry. We'llgive you a couple extra stamps and
then you can go, and they'rethey're happy about that. So, like,
I don't know, I never hadlike a really bad experience with a
customer. Yeah, even I waseven a shift lee too, so I
(26:53):
had to deal with like, ohno, let me tell you the drama
with that I started because I waslike fairly new and I my six months,
I like got promoted because my likeI was like, well mad people
were mad, and it was sofunny because these people im mad were hired
after me. So I was justlike, oh, okay, why are
you mad? Like people think Ididn't deserve it, or like like this
(27:15):
one girl, she was like shefelt some type a couple of people felt
some type of way who were hired. Oh, one was actually hired before
me. And I was just like, well, it's because of like your
work ethic. Like I was likemaking sure I was I was never involved
in drama. Yeah, and likeI kept doing like the things I needed
to do. And this girl shewas just giving me attitude. Like when
(27:37):
I was on ship, she wouldnot listen to me or she would ever
like, oh I don't think weneed to do that. And I'm like,
well, I'm the shift Lee,Like I'm the s my shift.
So I know, I had acouple incens with us, some people that
were that felt some type of wayof me being a shift Lee. Yeah,
And I was like and then atthe end of the day, I
I stopp being a shift because Idon't like it anymore. So I really
like, yeah, I was likethis is too much. I'm not getting
(27:59):
paid for this and I have otheroptions now, so I don't want to
go with this. Like everything wouldgo on like it was fun being a
shift fleet, but then it's likethat responsibility of like other things that I
was just like I don't really wantto do with that. Yeah, going
to like if you have like waittimes that we're too too long, like
our boss would be like, weneed to fix this obviously, which is
and it would land on you.Yeah, we'll land on it well any
(28:22):
all the shift lees. So it'sjust like it's not our fault because we'd
be asking for stuff. And thenI was a closer, so I always
always closed, so like after wewould you know, like we have to
be out in like forty five minutes, but we have to like clean out
the whole store, like clean everythingand wash everything and sanitize everything, so
and restock the fridge, restock allthe stuff and mind you, Dutch Pros
(28:45):
is busy, like literally up untilwe close, it is so busy.
Like sometimes we have like line,especially in the summertime, we have lines
like going to the street, likeit is so busy, so it was
just really hard to like make sureeverything was clean, and the openers would
kind of like there's a joke whenthe openers come in and they're like,
oh, this place is so youknow, like yeah, not up to
standards. So like we'll get liketalked to you about like having our clothes,
(29:07):
and we're like, seriously, guys, like the managers like you you
guys close and tell us like andthen we'll judge you, yeah, how
your clothes look like, because likeif we're being for real, like and
and mind you, like it wasso busy, but we only four of
us that night, and we'll closedown a like the expresso bar on the
back so it's just the front one. So we can only make certain amount,
like only make so much drinks.And that's what drives me insane because
(29:30):
sometimes we had drinks that like havesix shots of expresso, and mind you,
we only have like three expresso things, so like you have to constantly
like be put in that's just forone drinks, for one drink, And
then mind you, you have likepeople taking orders, so you see like
this whole screen filled with orders thatlike you have to wipe to see more
orders and then you have it's notjust a coffee shop. We have like
(29:52):
blended energy drinks. We have milkshakesmoothies, so sometimes people order that stuff,
so we get to do coffee andthat which it was just a lot.
That's why I do feel like maybeI mean both are hard retail and
for the food industry, but Ifeel like the food industry people you have
to be on it literally because atleast maybe with with shopping, people take
their time a little bit more,they're maybe willing to be a little bit
(30:15):
nicer. But when it comes toespecially fast food or anything that you want
to get quick, like a coffee, people are like impatient literally, like
I know, like and it feelsbad because sometimes will take like the whole
the whole line, and then yousee people's way times twenty minutes, thirty
minutes, and I'm just like,oh my gosh, if I was them,
I would be pissed because like,where is my drink? So and
(30:36):
that's what we have to do.Some extra stamps or hates on us today
because the wait times, Like you'vebeen in line, yeah, but I'm
like people in front of you orderlike twenty drinks, like there's only so
much we could do. So Ihated that, especially in the summertime because
everybody would be at Dutch Bros.Especially if people got off of school mm
hmm, the lines looking crazy andwe had no help at night, so
oh my gosh, yesh wow.So that's what I hated. And then
(31:00):
oh, and then my mental healthjob. You guys, the managers there
so bad, Like I hate it. I hated that place. If you
if I'll show you like on theirif you go on indeed or like Google
reviews or whatever, like so manyof the people who work there have so
much negative reviews about this place,like it's so bad, Like I think
it's like one one star or liketwo stars out of like work experience,
(31:25):
so like it was just, ohmy gosh, toxic work. It was
so toxic, like so bad.And then like you said about doing stuff
that you felt like you should havebeen doing. We were giving meds,
like we were going to the drawno, get the meds, and then
we technically couldn't hand it to them, but we could put it on the
(31:45):
thing on the counter, on thecounter, and then then then the patient
could take it. And we weredoing like doing their vitals and stuff.
We didn't have to poke them oranything with anything, but like giving meds.
I was like, I definitely,and we refuse and the threatened us
that if we refuse to give medsthat they would ride us up for it.
But we're like, we're not trained, like they did a training,
but like this is not part ofour job description, Like this is not
(32:07):
what we signed up for. Andat one time, meds got stolen,
right and this was like locked up, like this was a special locked up
med. I forgot what they calledit, but it was like, yeah,
like a it was a med thatyou couldn't just open, like you
had to have you had to countit every day to make sure there's the
(32:28):
right amount of meds in there,like you'd have to document it. And
so yeah, when one day itwas me and one of my good friends
that we were working together, thenurse comes in and was like, hey,
can we talk to you real quick? And we're like, yeah,
what's going on? And she saidthat there's only like four meds left and
it was like thirty two like theday before, and we were like what
(32:49):
the hell, And like the blamegot on us because we're the ones that
going in and out of the themedicine cabinet in the medicine room, right
because there's a whole room and we'relike medicine Kevina, Yeah yeah, medicine
Kena. So I was just likewe were like freaking no freaking out and
there was like no cameras at thistime, where they're like this is why
(33:09):
we didn't want to be a partof this because now it's like open for
anybody to be like, Okay,well you guys are here, what were
you doing during this time? Andstuff like that. And then eventually,
like I think after one of thenurse actually quit because she was like this
kid, she can lose her licensefor this. And after like she quit,
(33:30):
and then we ended up closing thathouse, going to a different house
and they like renovated the house andthen like they found the meds like underneath
a client's like like the carpet,so we found out who ended up taking
it for like this is insane.Yeah, it was bad, and oh
my gosh. The clients were likeI know that it's a mental health facility,
behavioral health, so of course they'renot gonna be angels. But man,
(33:52):
I like was like some kids tryingto fight me, like it's just
so bad. Like it was justlike, okay, I think that was
like the words shop I've ever had, like and I fell back. So
some clients I really I did likeand they were really cool and like they
you could tell they wanted help.And then some of the kids were just
like, oh my gosh. Reallyyeah, Like I'm like, when can
(34:14):
I quit? And that's when Iquit on the days because something happened and
I was just like, I'm overit. I'm done with this job.
I can't do it no more.Y'all not pay me enough. I hate
the managers. The managers are neveron our side. Okay, that's my
my rant. Okay, I thinkI think we're done with the topic of
jobs because we've yeah, I've coveredit all sort of. Do we want
(34:36):
to go through the list of things? I hope can say that for another
time. Yeah, I feel likewe ranted off too much. We'll say
that for Tuesday. And I hopeyou have a good weekend. What else
I think that's all? Yeah,Yeah, I'm enjoying your weekend. Oh
it might be sunny this weekend,so fun, yeah, fun, go
out there, do some hot girlsummer, do something okay, Bye bye
