You can't fire me. I quit.

Ok, I admit it. I have always kinda wanted to say that. Today was as close as I'll ever get to saying it. Yes, I quit my job..and I am so very glad I did. When I got to work today I got a call from the spa owner. She started yelling in my ear about how I am under no circumstances allowed to sit down at work (they have cameras and can watch everything you do). And she also said that it was totally unacceptable for me to wear a jacket/hoodie over my work shirt because I got cold. Also, how I can under no circumstances have my cell phone.

Pause.

My manager AND head spa attendant said it was OK to have my cell phone as long as I wasn't using it in front of clients. And the list goes on about ALL the things I have done wrong at this stupid place. So when she brought up the "no sitting" policy...I just said "Well then I'm gonna have to put in my two weeks' notice." And that was that. I'M PREGNANT. And I have to stand for 8 hours with no breaks? Screw that. So...I made a list of reasons why I'm glad I quit:
1. We don't get breaks
2. We aren't allowed to sit down.
3. We serve alcohol without a permit
4. Only make $8/hour
5. Owners are awful. No joke.
6. Spa is run sloppily.
7. Have to deal with rich gamblers (no fun).
8. Get treated like crap!
9. Have to clean up after therapists.
10. Deal with angry customers.
11. The hours suck.
12. We can't eat during our shifts.
13. There are not enough employees--->no breaks.

Needless to say, this job sucks!
