we had a guy named chris apply for a cook's job 3 weeks ago and he said how much he needed a job and would love to work at igtogo. he had previous experience working for the other drive thru only italian restaurant in the northland and he wasn't getting the hours he needed so he quit and was looking for a fresh start. we interviewed him and felt he would be a good addition so we hired him. the next 3 weeks we trained him and he was starting to be able to handle the position.
when the manager ryan arrived yesterday morning i commented to him that chris was doing a good job and that we should consider letting him start to expedite the food to the customers. ryan's response was that chris told him his previous employer had offered him more money to return. when chris arrived earlier than his normal shift time 11;30 i asked him about his previous employer and what were his plans. he told me that it was true that the other guy offered him more money but that the other guy had lied to him in the past and that he didn't plan on returning to that other place.
well guess what? at 12 when chris's shift started chris was nowhere to be found. didn't answer his cell or text. can you believe that. a guy comes in and to your face lies.
that seems to be the norm today. the american worker is a sad lot. no respect, i guess that's a reflection of our country and the breakdown of the family. when kids showed their parents respect it was taught that they shows others respect and when they aren't taught that and don't show respect at home they are ignorant to the fact that respect for others is important. i blame them and i blame their parents.
now we have to start the process over of looking for another line cook and cashier to help operate our very busy successful restaurant.
ciao,
john david dicapo
