Should i really give a f#@^?

Ok, I work at a resturant. Which is a very social place with both staff and customers alike. I can honestly say I handle serving costumers, as well as preparing food well. I have never been faulted for laziness or irresponsiblity. My problem Is with social interaction with some co-workers. A chosen few, that seem to tell me stories of past relationships, Stupid ex's, and not having enough hours at work. When Im approached, I try my best to give them the answer that will miniumize the interactions. They say Im anti social, or even stuck up. But really I just don't care. I Do not interact with them outside of work. none of them control my payroll. Really, If they never said anything to me all day, I would have no problem. Half of them complain about not recieving hours, but call out sick 3 times out of the week! I really dont feel like I should have to be friends with my co workers. Just professional. I never once said anything out the way. I never really talked much. Im like this way with everyone.I have some social anxiety issues.But it's never gotten in the way of my work. I need the money. I don't need the childish co workers. Am I wrong for wanting to just do my work and go?

    My other half lives by this rule - "I didn't come here to be Friends with you, I came to work.." needless to sat it keeps the losers away and he doesn't get involved in office politics. Good on you for sticking with it

    You go to work to work. Not to make friends and gossip. I can respect that.

    Working in a restaurant is very much about working as a team. You don't sound willing to give of yourself for the sake of teambuilding. You're perhaps in the wrong job. Or have the wrong attitude.

      I feel like you might have misunderstood my post. You are right, team work is needed. However, Im not there to socialize. "Hello, How's was your weekend"...etc, is totally exceptable. Unfortunately , Going beyond casual conversations at work is common. Thats where I draw the line. Teamwork involves work related issues only correct?? I have never had a workers manual that said "indulging in pointless conversation with co workers is a sure fired way to a raise". I have seen that exact behavior get people fired however.

    You are there to help run a business, and that's pretty much it. Not to make friends. And of course they're getting less hours because they are calling out sick. And you are there to serve the customers not chit-chat and have the customer waiting. And maybe tell them you're busy with customers that way you won't offend them?
