I recently started a job in food service, earning $12/hr for 40 hours a week. It's been pretty chill, but I've encountered some issues that have me questioning if I should stay. I signed the offer a month and a half ago, but I only just started working two weeks ago because my manager was slow to respond about my start date and what I needed for the job. I was drawn to this position because it's close to my new apartment, and the manager assured me I could switch to afternoon shifts once school starts. However, on my first day, my manager told the team I had prior experience in food prep, which I didn't. I felt lost until I clarified my situation with a coworker. Although my manager arranged for someone to train me, I found it odd that he misrepresented my experience. The real issue came when I discovered ants in the kitchen; they even bit me while I was getting supplies. I mentioned this to the manager on duty, who dismissed it as normal, saying ants and spiders are common there. This response really alarmed me, especially since I'm sensitive to ant bites. Shortly after starting, I received a call from another place I applied to, offering $15/hr with flexible hours, but it's further away. I initially told them I had taken another job, but I called today to express my interest in moving forward with the interview process. They said they would get back to me tomorrow. Now I'm torn—should I leave this job so soon, or is this just typical for minimum wage work? I'm also worried about how leaving early might affect future job applications.
