0:00.0 | My toxic entitled manager tells me that I should quit my job as she feels that I'm not cut out to be a waiter at her restaurant. |
0:07.0 | But after dealing with her nasty attitude, as well as her mistreatment on a daily basis, I finally decided to stand up for myself in a way that I never thought I'd ever be able to do. |
0:16.0 | Here's what happened. So I started working at a casual dining restaurant about two weeks ago, and this was my first |
0:22.1 | job in the service industry. |

1:05.2 | work from one to three hours more than we were supposed to. I was struggling a lot, trying to find a way |
1:10.2 | to improve and deal with the |
1:11.5 | stress of this job while working with frankly awful people. But I realized that I love being a waiter. |
1:17.1 | I'm great with customers. I'm quick. I learn fast and I've got a lot of stamina. During my last two shifts, |
