Alright so last night I was “let go” from my job as a bartender. I'll give some context.
Basically I work at a very busy bar in a ski town of sorts. Two nights ago I was pulled aside by the director of operations (for the bar) who informed me I had two complaints from people who own homes in the surrounding area. He told me they reached out to the board of director for the home owners association in the area (the home owners association has no ties to my bar whatsoever). Apparently I was very short with these two individuals when they came in and I was apparently rude to them ( as a bartender I'm only rude and push back if someone is rude to me) most of the time everyone that comes in is amazing, but when you work a job like this you get entitled rich boomers who don't take no for an answer sometimes.
So fast forward to last night, I'm working away and finish my shift at around 2:30 in the morning. As soon as we are done I get pulled aside and am told they will be letting me go. I received no written warning, just a straight up see you later, pack your shit and I quote ” you pissed off the wrong rich person”
I got let go because I hurt a few rich peoples feelings who live in the town for like 3 months of the year. The words of two rich people outweighs the words of the working class. They don't care about us, they care about making rich people happy no matter the cost.
On multiple occasions I have gone above and beyond and driven home many of these rich people when they're too drunk to drive home (after telling them multiple times they can't drive home) and this is how I get treated.
