What Colour Minnetonka

yet another exploitation.

In one of the video "I want to talk about" I have dealt with the 'topic of work.

As you can see, I have done all the work imaginable.

A job as a secretary when you're 6 / 8 hours for 5 days a week in front of the computer to do little or nothing where you pay at least € 800 a month, I think we'd like you all.

Not finding him, I adapted, I bent to the system and I did everything.

As you know I have recently done internships at some nurseries (for the uninitiated, are useful hours to gain experience and then not pay you and you hope it will not be you to give money to them for having the opportunity to have this experience). Each asylum in which I asked, trying to exploit girls for a couple of weeks and then who we have seen we have seen. The famous phrase "we'll know."

Then I got tired and I started to look further, saying "I need to work, I am prepared for anything." I answer an ad for a restaurant / pub. He likes to talk and asked me to the test. I of course, from which they are shameless, I ask if this test will be paid or not. And I was given a salary of 150 € for the week (one day off Wednesday). Since I was willing to do anything, I swallowed the mouthful and I agreed to make the effort, believing that the pay would be increased if I had passed the trial week.

I'm very collaborative, I commit myself in things, so I'll put the best ... I immediately gave proof of my good intentions. I wanted to work. The hours were grueling. Began to do at 6 am to clean the floor and tables of the pub and the restaurant, cleaned the counters and place the environment, and lays out the glasses, plates (heavy). I began to eat at 7 and a half and came up clients on time for dinner. I found just 2 minutes, I returned from my dinner that had been completely mixed with plate. If by chance I was eating pizza, the mozzarella was going to fuck off and became a piece of wood. Inedible.

Apart from that, work as a maid is not at all easy. The customer is always right and if not you take a fork within 20 seconds, you can say goodbye to the tip.

Not to mention the pub. The guys while drinking beer, Coke or cocktail stand still do not know. If the port the peanuts, the next day I found a peanut plant that has been created in the night. FOR ALL THE EARTH. Or do the cap, with handkerchiefs .. In short, inhuman things ... the fact is that atrocious I was the only waitress, and even among the staff, other dirty, cristina cleaned. I was hardly given a hand, but bearable.

Friday and eventually came to discover the bitter truth. The pay remains the same. € 25 per day. But the only downside was that I knew what time attached (17.30) but I never knew what time I disconnected. One day I came back at midnight and a half every other day I came home one and a half to 2 or 2 and a half. Obviously I had to stay as long as there were people in the room.

So doing a quick calculation earning less than € 3 an hour.

Speaking with my parents, I advise against it. Also because I had inconsistencies with the working time of my mother. She came home at 18, I was already at work, I came back later when she was already asleep. I saw it right on the day of rest on Wednesday and Sunday as she does not work.

So yesterday I speak with the principal and accepts the fact that I left. But to be fair I told him I'd be gone tomorrow, so I would not have left in the middle of an ocean over the weekend. In the interview I was told "I do not care of La Mancha, YOU GET ALL THE TU." Unfortunately yesterday I caught the main pocketing a tip of 5 € meant for me, believing I had not seen.

mind

By local, I realized that whenever I was given the tip was broken and because maybe SUDDENLY I saw him with money in hand and then, having had time to put my money in his pocket, he called me, gave me a tip and asked me to go and thank the customer.

I finally said "fuck it ... who knows how many tips possess me Bonehead?"

Talking with friends who have done or still do this job, I was told that the pay is twice what that give me. And they pecked at 50 € only working in a pub or a restaurant in ONLY .. I had to give me what I was doing both at night?

fact is that for the umpteenth time I've been exploited. And I'm tired. Tired of seeing breathtaking collections of the owners and having to also give thanks for the little money they give you, as if I had to bend over and kiss their shoes for favors received.

I'm tired of having no stability. I believe that from the nervous these entrepreneurs say 'here's another little girl with a bone to reduce exhausting work for peanuts. " To qualify financially for those 25 € I are given to them every night just 12 people sitting at the table without eating. Why not forget about the "hole" cards that you pay (minimum € 2 per person). It sucks.

But my mother always told me "the rich are always the most stingy ... otherwise they would not be rich"

At the end of yesterday, there were full houses both the restaurant and pub. Since I gave up again today (honestly I did to get some tip) the owner has noticed my good will, noted the speed, he noted how hard I tried to bring as flat as possible, the rate of clear and lay a table, so I approached my ear and said " I ask you a proposal that you can not refuse a proposal very attractive. Come to work only on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I'll give you € 100 plus tips that are all your "

I looked stunned (obviously not for the proposition (a little) Attractive), I was going to get me out of a vomit of words when he tells me, smiling," not Answer me now, tomorrow, talk to your parents and let me know "and went happy as if he had made the foil of the year that proposed to me. I I sucked at math, but 100 divided by 4, does not always 25 euros per night?? And then if you talk about missing the pocket himself?

Tonight I give him the answer, "my father told me that gives me 200 Euros per week to stay at home "
