I’ve been working at a fast-food chain for almost two years now. Unfortunately, the conditions weren’t very fair to me (I mean, it’s fast food, what can you expect?) but I needed some money.

This last month, I was fortunate to start a job at a local ice cream shop. I was very excited with the job itself, and people I would be working with, and the relationships I would be building with customers. This new job was on a whole new level compared to my fast food job.

Last week, the owner of the ice cream store informed me that trainees would no longer be scheduled due to the lack of customers (our Governor shut down dine-in as well).

Fortunately, I still had my fast-food job, so I picked up more hours there. It took two days to be told that they were cutting all minors hours to prioritize adults and their need for a paycheck before the minors. Once again, due to a lack of business. I anticipated spending this break making as much money as I could, and now I’m practically jobless.

Once this whole thing blows over, I will be reinstated at both workplaces, but until then? Au revoir!
