saw someone get fired today

[smileyeagle1021]

You know, sometimes when someone gets fired you just can't bring yourself to feel bad for them... this is one of those cases.
I stopped at IHOP on the way home from work... because, well damnit, I just didn't want to cook after last night at work (and I love their chicken fried steak). Well, there was this one waitress there that was talking with a group that she obviously was familiar with... a little too familiar... she was using quite a bit of profanity... of course other customers did not look amused. The manager walked over and reminded this waitress that she was on the clock and should keep her language clean.
The waitresses response "well, look at who's being Miss Prude today"
everyone else in the restaurants response
manager's response "back office now... consider yourself lucky that you're only going to get a write-up for that"
waitress who should be greatful for not getting fired on the spot "Jesus Christ... it's not as if anyone here hasn't heard those words before... what's the big fucking deal"
manager's response "clock off, turn in your apron, you can pick up your final pay check any time next week after tuesday, you're fired"
rest of the restaurant applauded.

Awesome! What did the waitress do? What a total idiot. I wonder how long she'd been working there.

[PepperElf]

probably swore up a storm about being fired for having a potty mouth?

[Aethian]

Awww Smiley....what did she do then?

[BethB]

Wow!! That took some cojones from the waitress!!

[XCashier]

Wow!! That took some cojones from the waitress!!

Nah, just lack of brain cells.

So this waitress mouths off to management not once, but twice. In front of customers. Yeah, I'm glad she's fired. And now if we could apply the same method to sucky managers that ream poor employees out for all to hear in demeaning ways...

Awww Smiley....what did she do then?

actually, it was rather anticlimactic... she just dropped her apron on the ground and walked out the door.

To which the people should have responded with the "Goodbye" song...

Nah nah nah nah...

[Kiwi]

Yeah somehow I don't feel bad for her

someone who is desperate for a job (and there are plenty of them right now) will take it gladly and kept their language civil on the clock.

Holy biscuit.

Some people.

Something tells me she was trying to get fired.

Nah. I would like to quote (or maybe paraphrase) Dilbert: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

That is all.

Same here. I know of a few people who would be at a job long enough to qualify for unemployment and then get themselves fired in order to collect.

Have someone like that at where I work right now. Was working a full week then got cut back to two days and is now working only one day and collecting unemployment.
