2. During college, OP worked as a hostess at a big chain restaurant known for its large staff and frequent management changes.

4. Two weeks later, OP received a notification about her schedule for the following week. OP called the restaurant and reminded the on-duty manager that she was no longer an employee, and the manager apologized and made the necessary adjustments.
