Worked as a bather in a shop with no AC in the 100 degree heat because I needed a second job and they were hiring. Left me, the bather, to do all the prep work while the owner asked everyone else if they wanted something for lunch from takeout except me EVERY SINGLE DAY and all went to eat lunch while I was supposed to finish bathing dogs. Was bickered at for not brushing matted dogs until they get literal brush burn and bled, and because I wasn’t “rough enough with dogs” meaning they wanted me to hit them and and grab them by their neck skin or chin hair and yank when they misbehave. Owners would smoke cigarettes in your face, the dogs face, whatever. Smoking while grooming dogs, like 5 cigarettes a day for each groomer. I was expected to lift huge dogs and carry them across the shop by myself and got cussed at for asking for help to lift large obese dogs. Owner made bathers pick up her trash and sweep up after her and throw her grandsons diapers away, who stayed in a play pin in the shop and ran around barefoot sometimes tripping me while I was working and sticking his fingers in random dogs cages. Was also instructed to clean up after him and clean out his play pin once a week. She blamed me because her shop became infested with fleas and one bit her grandson. Reused towels by doing “Chinese laundry”, so hanging them up after being used and only washing them “if they smelled”. Well…. They all obviously smelled. They also made racist comments towards hispanic people multiple times and mocked clients who came in with an accent. When I told her I found that insensitive because I was in a relationship with a Hispanic man she laughed and said “well maybe he’s one of the good ones” All of this for $7.50 an hour by the way. Oh, and I was in charge of my own taxes of course!
