the sweetest way to get screwed by your line cook

and just in case you didn't think our lives were material for a movie, check out this e-mail tom just got from his best employee:


"im not going to come in anymore. i took an offer to run my own kitchen in stafford and i really need the money. i would have given you more notice but i have a bad feeling that im gonna fuck someone up in there, so it's best we leave it at that. i really appreciate you hiring me. i can honestly say that you were the realest motherfucker i have ever worked for. every other chef i've worked for was scared to make more than 2 seconds of eye contact with me. i hope everything always goes well for you. please let me know when to pick up my check or mail it to me."


words, please? 'cause i got nothin'.

Wow...that's just....wow. But at least you guys got an email. We had a dishwasher not show up for a Saturday night shift without a call. And a few months ago we had a line cook not come in for his shift at Granville's because he was "sick" but then call over to Cap Lounge and try to pick up a shift there. Not smart when both restaurants have the same exec chef.

Sometimes this industry confounds me.
