Taco Bell Employee (Christine)

This is a introduction to Taco Bell employee Christine. She is a regular crew member like Nick and I. She is the other one I mentioned in Nicks post about possibly being the next shift manager. She worked tonight with us, which was a busy damn day. She for the last week, that I've noticed, has really been kicking ass. I personally think that she is probably the best and most qualified to be the next shift manager at Taco Bell. I did have some bad vibes after my first week about her, but lately I must admit she is doing a damn good job, and I can't think of one thing to bitch about. LOL. Good job Christine! I will let everyone know if she becomes the next shift manager at Taco Bell. Great job on the dishes tonight.

Taco Bell Employee (Nick)

I will talk about each employee seperately. I started with Nick(crew member), because I promised him I would put something up about him tonight. I let most the staff know at work about this website. Well anyway, Nick is a crew member who has worked at Taco Bell for about 8 months. He's is seventeen years old, I didnt ask, but I suspect this is his first job. Hats off to Nick, not too many young men his age stay at fast food places like Taco Bell very long. Well Nick isnt into the drama of late thats been going around work. He told me I hate drama, I just come here to make money. Anyway, Nick is wanting to become a shift manager, since we had the one shift maneger walk out a few weeks ago. From what I'm told there are three people in contention for shift manager. Me, Nick, and a girl named Christine. I will talk more about Nick and his work at Taco Bell in future posts. This is just A introduction to Taco Bell employee Nick.

Taco Bell Management

Well ok, I will explain the drama from my previous post. Well my restraunt General Manager(Jim) is a cool boss. He does not have a restraunt manager, so he is going to have to decide soon who he wants out of the crew to be the RM. Well theres a shift manager Natalie, who is wanting the job bad. Well if you ever worked in a fast food enviroment, you know what comes next. Anyway, we have shift managers at each others throats, really its kinda like all the shift managers and a new employee are all ganging up on Natalie, hoping to, I dont know, get her in trouble with Jim. And, lucky me Natalie is the closing manager and guess who is the closing employee. Yep me. So I'm getting drawn into the drama as well, just because I work 5 nights a week at Taco Bell with Natalie. Well this weeks complaining is labor. I admit I clocked in alittle early to get some extra time, but after I got to work today I told Evan(another shift manager) that I wasnt staying late at work on purpose, it just took me that long to close. I told her I would not clock in early anymore because I dont want to get in trouble. I really wanted to let her know, dont draw me into the manager fighting between Natalie and the others, just because i work her shift. I will address each manager in seperate posts. What a week at Taco Bell.

Taco Bell

Well has it been a crazy last 2 days at Taco Bell. During a recent winter rush of people coming home from Lake Tahoe, Nevada it went total drama at Taco Bell. First off, it was my day off of work and they called me in to work a 4 to 9 shift. Well I get there and they tell me im working CS today. Which is front cashier, which I had never done before, I've only worked line. I am still new, I've only been working at Taco Bell for like 3 weeks. Well, lucky me we got slammed big time. Than right in the middle of the slam, this shift manager(Bryan), decided to get pissed off and, stops working line and clocks out and leaves,and quits just like that. This was the guy who was going to be the new assistant manager too. Well he quit right than and there. Well I ended up working a 4 to 10:30 shift that night.Taco Bell was definately not my favorite place that day.
