I hate my job!…..baskin robbins worker
I have worked at Baskin Robbins for almost two years now. I am not going to say which one, or the owner to keep myself out of trouble while I am still employed there, but all I can say is that I cannot wait to get out. I admit, it is a rather “high schoolish” job, and it is very easy to move up on the job scale from this level, but I have not found anything yet. What I do, at this so-called “31nderful world” is do the same thing everyday, for our little tiny five hour shifts. Cup or cone? Sugar or plain? Whip cream and cinnamon? Would you like a lid?” ect., ect., ect.
Now one might say that you ask questions in any position, but I can understand “indoor or outdoor seating?” But this is common sense people!! Don’t tell me that you want a scoop in a cup!! What kind of ice cream do you want moron?? If you are looking at the sizes, (we have regular and large, no medium…) why are you going to tell me a medium? Or ask me what size cups we have for our ice cream?? We are not coldstone… you tell us how many scoops, and how you want it… that’s it, it may sound very complicated to all the incompitent customers that come in, but I assure you, those of you smart people that have been into a local Baskin Robbins, it is really not that difficult.
After these brilliant people make it through this long and diffucult process, they sit down with their children (might I add, that they have had their small toddlers and babies sit on the counter while you complete their order… just a clue to all these people DON’T DO IT!!! IT IS EXTREMELY UNSANITARY, I DON’T CARE HOW CLEAN YOU THINK YOUR BABY IS!!) and proceed to let them run wild, behind the counter, and they perceive it as cute, when we are annoyed while trying to deal with the newest idiot to come into our store.
What might have I left out? The boss!! Oh…the boss… many people who visit Subway, McDonalds, Baskin Robbins, ect. notice that most of the employers are of middle-eastern decent. My boss fits into this category, and to him, his background includes the thought that all women are stupid. Nevermind that I have worked for this man for TWO YEARS, he still calls me every time we defrost, and reminds me that I need to turn OFF the freezer when we are done… Duh? He will go on and on, repeating several things that he has already gone over SEVERAL times, as if it were the first time he had mentioned it. It is extremely frustrating, but I have overcome these lectures with one simple plan, I act like I am the dumbest person he has ever met, I don’t say a word, and it gets him to shut up faster. That is the trick!
Lastly, the pay… you go through all this frustration, for two weeks, and then the paycheck comes. This, to most people is the day when it is all worth it, all the customers, the screaming kids, nope. Not to me. It is a huge let down knowing that in two years, and becoming manager, I only make 60 cents over minimum wage. Yes that’s right… only 60 cents. 10 cents at your one year mark people! How exciting right?? Nope… slap in the face.
I am going to stop complaining to you now, but might I make one suggestion before I leave you? Never work at Baskin Robbins, find a job that give you at least a 25 cent raise when you deserve it? Because as you already know, Baskin Robbins leads you nowhere. Thank you for your time.
Thanks

The ones that do a good job, become managers of my other stores; others get whacked and they go to Burger King to work as a drive-thru person.
If morons like you were consistent, cleaned, helped customers in a friendly fashion, maybe you'd get more money and become an owner!
You f***in' Moran,
You're worth nothing and you're good for nothing and the whole world knows it. You are a real wimp and a true scum of earth. You are incompetent for anything you do. Only thing you can do just a little is scraping skin off a guy's mouth. With a sharp instrument, any idiot can. No big deal. No brain needed. I can demonstrate that right now even in a dog's mouth.
The day I leave will be your loss and you get what you deserve. You never know when it comes but I promise you it will come. I will make sure that I get the last laugh.
You are a real bastard and arrogant, incredible ugly, ignorant sexist. Looking at your face makes me puke. If you want to treat women that way, go back to your mainland China and treat your “own” country ladies that way and sure that makes you feel superior. How pathetic is that, you need to do that in order to feel power. That is because you are powerless on your very own. What you do isn't accepted here and you are making' fool out of yourself. Nobody respects you. Try how you can get away with what you do each day at work to people out there in the big world, guaranteed fists are gonna meet your face.
A payback time is coming your way very soon. You'd better watch out. A slave-worker will lose in the end of every story and that is you, I will make sure.
You've taken advantage of me from day 1. I never forget the first day I worked my butt off for a full day not even knowing nothing about dentistry. You didn't pay me a cent. You declared before I started that you won't pay because “I will be observing. But I actually worked, did everything to help everyone around and how well I did. That is just me. I am capable of wide variety of things with my abilities. I do not do thing for nothing, for someone else I would but not for you, jerk.
Final note, you'd better take some English course as you seem to still suffer from a lot of communication problem with English. That is truly unbelievable just knowing that you've been living in this North America for more than 30 yrs. You've got to be kidding. Not only you can't speak but can't even spell words right. 70 % of things you mumble each day, no one understands and who even cares. You are a god damn foolish loser. Why don't you just f*** yourself & go to hell.
well things got really bad when she got paranoid and installed a shitload of cameras. i quit.
do Baskin Robbins Employees get discounts or anything like that?
Finally I reduced my McHours to work a second job at the higher-paying supermarket down the road. These managers got annoyed and as a result gave me a $0.15 raise, smaller than usual. Eventually I quit McDonalds altogether for the supermarket. I never told them specifically why I quit until years later.
I think it would behoove you to cultivate your patience with customers and management... If you want to get out of that lousey job you're gonna have to make an effort.
For your reference, you will probably find irritating people in any field you decide to work in. I've found that to be true myself. Consider making the best of it.
I've only gotten one raise since I started working there almost 2 years ago. The thing that really gets me is that I feel stuck. I want to quit soon because I want to start getting training in a job that I'm studying for in school. But at the same time I'm the most important person there and my friends would be pissed if I left. so ya.
it's good and bad.
Now fetch me my cone, peon.
