Goodbye Coretto's

Now that I had my last day at Coretto's Cafe on Lygon St, the only words that come to mind about that place are extreme profanities. My bosses were in the worst moods of their life, screamed at me for nothing, and would have made me cry if I hadn't kept thinking to myself -- this is my last day. I messed up on one pizza order, and one order they messed up on but of course blamed me. The one I did mess up on, the couple had a very strong European accent and I thought they said Salmone when they really said Paesana, and my boss screamed at me and got so mad he sent me on my break. I was so incredibly pissed off that I ended up at Brunetti's calming down with strawberry cheesecake and an iced chocolate (delicious, by the way), and then came back an hour later cooled off -- but my bosses weren't. One of my tables actually liked me enough to leave me a big tip, and when I went to collect it from my boss he immediately yelled at me saying "Why are you making so many mistakes today, you can't make these mistakes ever again!" so I defended myself by calmly explaining I had made 2 mistakes (even though one of them wasn't my fault -- but I didn't dare tell him that), and he screamed "Well that's 2 too many!" So I told him "Don't worry, I'll never make a mistake like this on any other day ever again!" He didn't understand, so I explained it was just a joke because it was my last day. That set him off the wall! He started screaming that he does not think that's funny, he should deduct the pizzas from my pay if that's how I'm going to act and just because it's my last day doesn't give me the right to make mistakes. I almost brought up that being human allows me to make mistakes, but I didn't want to poke the fire too much, so I just said "okay, calm down." and walked away.

I will miss my coworkers so much though. They really are the sweetest people in the world and none of them deserve to be treated the way that my managers have treated us. Getting paid below minimum wage and getting sexually harassed constantly is enough of a reason to hate this job, but the fact that after we get sexually harassed, we then get screamed at for things that aren't always our fault -- beyond excusable.

Goodbye forever Coretto's! %&#%@ you!
