Employee meals are provided

I’ve only been working here as a part-timer for a few days.

Because I’ve previously worked at other chain restaurants,

I found it unbelievable from my very first day.

On my first day, I was trained to open the restaurant in the morning.

I wasn’t even familiar with what equipment or supplies each station required,

yet I was expected to learn it all on the first day and remember how to do everything by the second day.

And when I asked the store manager or full-time employees questions, they would snap at me and have a terrible attitude.

I’ve never encountered this kind of situation at any other restaurant.

Wouldn’t helping new employees learn when they have questions ultimately help you in the future? Seriously, what exactly are you losing control over? Are you under a lot of pressure?

Even worse, the part-timer who trained me to open in the morning wasn’t even familiar with how to do it properly,

so when I followed their method, I was constantly scolded by the full-time employees:

“How can you do it like that?” “Why don’t you remember?” “Why didn’t you prepare this? Why didn’t you prepare that?”

I think that if you expect someone with a very high IQ, an excellent memory, and who won’t quit after being yelled at to do this job,

please state that in the application requirements, okay~

Also, the full-time employees are terrible at arithmetic. When they taught me how to package inari sushi, they kept miscalculating the grams per portion, which left me very confused.

At other companies, store managers may be very difficult during initial training, but if you’re making progress, they’ll also offer encouragement because we can finally be of help to them.

But here, I’ve never heard a single word of encouragement, nor a single “it’s okay.” If you make a mistake, they berate you relentlessly; if you do something right, it’s treated as if you were merely lucky.

Some of the full-time employees seem to have split personalities. One second they’re saying good morning in a childish voice, and the next they’re berating you in a deep voice.

I’m extremely surprised that anyone would be willing to stay and work here—or am I actually being singled out?

I still remember the first time I made a chicken rice bowl. I asked the person working at the tempura station where I should get the fried chicken, and they immediately snapped at me, “Can’t you get it yourself?” Although they grabbed it for me two seconds later, I still found it unbelievable. I asked because I didn’t know, but they treated me as if I were a useless person who only knew how to bother them.

Later, I asked other part-timers and found out that this person was an area manager.

The behavior of those above is imitated by those below—I finally understand. This is actually part of the company culture.

I’ve already found a new job for September.

They say this is a Japanese company, but the atmosphere at work is terrible every day. It’s truly unbearable.
