some of the Manager in golden corral doesn't know how to treat there employees. especially when we change our new system I have been helping the staff how to work it. manager just got back from vacation I was in her way and she shoved me when I asked her our system changed and she said yes I know how to work it then she said move I got this and I was trying to ring up by guest and then she shoved me. Staff always calling out and its hard on other employee when we are stock working long hours and not taking breaks.
