Remember that one kid from your high school English class who treated everything like it was a complete joke—to the point of cruelty—never taking or accepting responsibility for any of his actions? Yeah, well, that kid could have very likely gone on to become someone's manager or open their own business. Now there's a terrifying thought.
It's like George Carlin famously put it: "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."
Well, this bar owner and the manager they appointed to run it were probably both that kid from class, getting their egos involved and firing one of their bartenders after they enquired after their paycheck, blocking them and refusing to pay the bartender what they were owed.
The bartender shared screenshots of the exchange in a popular Reddit sub, asking for advice and providing context in a lengthy comment. Readers replied with some advice, advising the bartender to report the incident and to follow up on the check and wrongful termination.
Read on for the shared text messages and some of the responses below. Afterward, check out this unhinged message that a restaurant owner sent to staff.
