Employer Investigation

Hi everyone, I'm not really sure where to go with this. Mods please remove if needed. There was an incident at my work where alcohol is served, I asked if a woman who appeared inebriated at closing had a ride home to the man who was with her as she appeared inebriated. He told me she did have a ride and thanked me. 40 minutes after closing the man I had spoken to came into the closed restaurant and yelled in my face, berating me for asking, calling me racist, telling me he had 7 alcoholic beverages and that he would drive home, as did everyone he was with. He smelled quite strongly of alcohol. My shift lead came over and after attempting to calm him down to no avail, called him disgusting and said I wasn't racist because “We serve black customers.” After she escorted him out, he then…


Hi everyone, I'm not really sure where to go with this. Mods please remove if needed. There was an incident at my work where alcohol is served, I asked if a woman who appeared inebriated at closing had a ride home to the man who was with her as she appeared inebriated. He told me she did have a ride and thanked me. 40 minutes after closing the man I had spoken to came into the closed restaurant and yelled in my face, berating me for asking, calling me racist, telling me he had 7 alcoholic beverages and that he would drive home, as did everyone he was with. He smelled quite strongly of alcohol. My shift lead came over and after attempting to calm him down to no avail, called him disgusting and said I wasn't racist because “We serve black customers.” After she escorted him out, he then proceeded to get in his car, I told my shift lead we needed to call the police as he was driving inebriated, and write down his license plate. She assured me this would happen as I was quite upset from the incident. Coming into work the next day, I asked if it had been reported. They told me no, as there was no need. After being quite upset by this and speaking to my manager he asked if I needed to go home for the day and that he would reach out on how the situation should be handled. I later received a message telling me that I would be paid for the next four days, and to come in on the fifth for an investigation. After asking for more information, I've received no reply from my manager. I'm concerned on this just being dealt with through HR when someone inebriated who was served by my restaurant was allowed to drive home inebriated. I also was treated by my assistant manager and lead with hostility for bringing it up. I've had several nightmares due to the man who yelled at me and I feel it's affecting my mental health. I fear retaliation from my workplace, and I need this job to pay rent.
