What was your, I don't get paid enough for this, moment at work?

When I worked at McDonald's, I found out we didn't get paid for closing. We got paid until

the store closed. So if it took us an extra hour or two to close, that was unpaid. I wish I knew

what I know now, because that is an open and shut case, but at the time I was young and dumb.

My first paycheck,

I noticed I had a ton of missing hours. So when I asked my boss about it, she told me we only get paid until the store is closed. So that night, I walked out when the store closed. They

tried to guilt me into staying because the other team members need me. Frick that. I don't work for free, sorry, especially when I'm already making minimum wage.

No, thanks, not going to happen. A similar thing happened to me when I worked at Taco Bell when I was a teenager.

During the first closing shift I was scheduled for, after I was done cleaning everything,

I told the manager I was ready to clock out and go home. She told me

that she still had at least an hour of paperwork left to do and needed me to stay while she did

it, since there was a rule that no one could be in the store alone. But she told me to clock out.

I laughed in her face and told her, I clock out when I leave. She didn't make me clock out and

never scheduled me to close again. So win-win for me.

Used to work as a dental nurse, first patient of the frickin' day said he felt sick after having a

local anesthetic. He looked sick too. I grabbed the bin and told him if he needed to vomit,

take the bin. He held it in his lap and turned, vomiting down the side of the chair and all over

my pants and shoes.

Of course, I had to clean it up, and of course, they wouldn't let me go home to change.

That's disgusting.

Surely it's not ethical to let someone work with body fluid exposure on them the whole day.

It's also a mess of infection risk.
