And the pub, business dropped off a cliff, long days cleaning, the place is spic-and-span, the season apparently will pick up in another month. Fingers crossed. We're down to 2 staff members - Myself, and the chef, the other chef wasn't getting enough hours and so found a more reliable job at the hotsprings. She gave notice, then they terminated her, they were doing her "a favour" they tell her, and that if the owner wants to scream at her that's her right as owner of the business, and that she doesn't - the owner - owe any one an apology because she is, after all, the owner...
It's unbelievable.
The other waiter - 1 shift per week - 4.5 hours, and they ask me if I want his shift, if I do they'll lay him off, I don't - I need more work, for sure, but not at the expense of firing somebody else...they're proper corporate sociopaths...
But I know the remaining chef is looking for work, if he finds it the pub will close. The reputation they have in the community is well deserved and hard won, and it's definitely what they imagine it to be, I trust them about as far as I can throw them, they've done nothing to me but I've seen too much their treatment of the rest of the staff to deceive myself that my day isn't coming...
Keeping a full tank of gas in the Jeep just in case...
