Well to update, I called out this morning right before my shift and was told to call back to talk to HR. I told them the position is wack but they'd heard I'd done a good job during training so I'm being moved to a completely different position where I won't have to deal with many if any customers, hopefully none at all ever. Still pays the same and now I won't get rained on.
Since I'm treating this more as an emergency fund rather than a real job I'm basically just pretending this whole thing is one long tour of the place, kinda like one of those workplace reality shows -- Dirty Jobs, Undercover Boss. I come in, be like "oh so this is how that works" and "wow y'all really do this shit every day?", bank pay and then bail on it to go back to my better job.
What's funny is the position I'm being moved to is the one the fat guy who started with me was aspiring to be moved up into once he proved himself in the shitty spot they gave him. Hoping he sees me in the dept he wanted and asks how I got there so I can say "idk I tried to quit and they moved me here."
The thread title April fool's joke is good, especially glad it's not a There is No 4 joke.
