More jackass management !
Everywhere today MANAGEMENT insists on its precious prerogatives
but almost nowhere can it demonstrate even ordinary COMMON SENSE .
I often have breakfast in a Friendly's restaurant right across
from my Church Ave. apartment in Warwick. ( here you can pay $4.00
for a breakfast special that cost you $2.00 downtown at Ted's New
York system )
Yesterday I noticed a teenage waitress wearing a humiliating
round paper patch with a special message for the exceptionally
creepy customer : " If I forget to ask you for our juice, you
can get one glass for free ! " ( near quote )
I told the girl gently, I recall, that the manager should
not subject the help to that humiliating nonsense. I said it
reminded me of the junk food joints that try to force their
horrid french fries on every customer. Who doesn't know that
they serve this junk ?
And who doesn't know that Friendly's has fruit juice ?
We'll ask if we crave it !
Today when I ordered my breakfast at Friendly's, there
was a different teenage girl. This one a bit of a rebel . She
wore her message patch upside down !
I was proud of her and left a bigger tip than usual.
She will learn that there is really no end to the Arrogance
of Power !
