So your the new guy at work and bottom of the totem pole but you think you should get to boss around the chicks because you lift?

ey guys. nobody told me I don't get to choose what to do at a fast food job.

You are a roach, a completely useless and absolutely expandable and easily replaceable part of the system. You have zero value for anybody. You haven't even stepped on the first step of the ladder yet, but you are already complaining that you can't tell the people further up, what to do and that they in fact, who are at least a little bit less useless than you, and at least know how the business is run, what is important in the daily routine and what is not, tell you how to become useful.

Exactly like a little bitchy self-entitled girl would think, talk and act.

She usually tells me what to do, like "clean the lobby" or some shit like that.

The first option is "nope" and keep doing what you're doing. If they make a stink, say " look, manager hasn't told me that I should be doing that, I don't want to get in trouble. Why don't you ask him/her."

If that doesn't work look them straight in the eye. "Great! Go scrub the hood and clean the grease trap for me."

They'll argue and make excuses, try to redirect. "Look, don't make excuses, just do it."

Then they'll start whining/pouting or say something like "why you gotta be that way/what's wrong with you today?" or resort to personal shaming tactics like "OK new guy." Tell them you're disappointed, and go do something else.

They'll stop pretty quickly.

It's kind of annoying having to take orders from women.

Unless they're your boss or shift lead, you're obligated to do absolutely nothing except what your boss has told you you need to be doing. But yes, if it's clearly something that needs doing immediately and they're busy, then you should do it. Or, if you're not currently busy. If it's not urgent, feel free to tell them no.

I feel like that should be my job.

Unless you get promoted to management, it isn't actually. But feel free to take on that responsibility to the extent that they try to do it to you.

In the first week I started working there, my frame was great. I had the IDGAF mentality with the I'm just here to do my work attitude. A Few weeks later it's more of a "being okay with getting bossed around" frame but I can't say shit cuz they've been working there longer than me

You mean, besides smiling and saying "I don't think so."

Rise up, the only problem is you.

You don't have to follow orders unless she's actually your boss. Tell her to do it herself next time. Just do what you are supposed to do to not get into trouble.

“I’m new at my job and when people try to keep me from standing around, I get mad because I’m a man and I lift so I should boss around the little women”

Go get a new job.

Get a solid pheromone cologne that will make them buddy up more with you & slightly sexually attracted plus minor intimidation.
