Rick,
I feel your pain. Had a bad day yesterday and now have a server trashing me on Facebook and posting reviews on Yelp and Urbanspoon en masse.
Pregnant server who voluntarily requested one Tue night a week only. I’ve had to ask her to stop knitting at the hostess stand during dinner service 3 times. I have had to ask her not to wear a stocking cap 2x . Oct 13 she sent me an e-mail telling me I need to fill out her medicaid form and that she would bring it in. She brought it in on October 19 with a note to my wife stating she had e-mailed us but we had not responded and that she needed it by October 21 (Friday) (her previous e-mail did not solicit a response, simply stated she would bring it in). My wife, who breaks down the money each day, went out of town Thursday morning and didn’t fill it out or leave it for me. I happened across it by accident Saturday (22nd) filled it out and informed her it was done. She told me it was to late and that I would need to contact medicaid and figure it out. I explained to her that I was not going to do that but would gladly fill out another form. She got denied by medicaid and went ballistic on me. She then TOLD me she would not be showing up for her shift the next day because she was taking the opportunity to go to the Medicaid office. I advised her that, in light of her previous reprimands, abandoning a shift would lead to her termination.
And the insane and slanderous rants ensued. I’m avoiding commentary so please insert your own. I guess I’m a bad guy because I invested my own money to employ 30 people in my community and didn’t do my extra part to drop everything and fill out a welfare form for an employee I now is voluntarily choosing not to work more hours because she “hates being a servant”. WTF.
Rant over.
