The diner where I work at just made some new changes. New hours & days that it'll be open. PLUS getting rid of the cook that's been working there for 4 years. She busted her ass working & did a fairly competent job BUT what did her in was her attitude.
My boss would usually go home around 2 PM after being there since 4 in the morning. & once he left business would take a serious tumble. For a while the boss couldn't figure out why business in the evenings was so slow. It didn't take too long to figure out that the cook was rubbing people the wrong way.
People would come in & she wouldn't say hello or even aknowledge them. Some days she'd be in one of her moods & practically snarl at customers! A lot of people who had been coming there for years decided to go elsewhere cause of her. & if that wasn't bad enough, people would get their orders wrong or their orders would be burnt. & when they told her about it she'd give them attitude. It was like she didn't give a shit.
The straw that finally broke the camel's back was when we were all informed that we couldn't take off for whatever reason in October cause the boss's daughter was gonna have her baby at that time. The boss's daughter works at the diner too. So she'll be gone for about a month or so for maternity leave & while she's gone we'll be short a person.
The cook kept insisting that she needed to have off for a week in October to visit whoever. Boss kept saying no & from what I understand she was gonna just take off anyway & leave them hanging. I'm sorry but you just don't do that!
So the boss took the cook into the office for a long talking to. I was told it wasn't pleasant. She was fired cause of her nasty attitude. That she was affecting the bottom line of the diner was the main reason.
The NEW cook started yesterday.
