HR confronted me about a tweet, I wait tables at an Italian restaurant, why do I have pasta spies?

But what sucks the most is that I sling spaghetti and meatballs and my boss is clearly creeping on my Twitter. Am I wrong to think this is kinda wild? Has anyone else been creeped on at their rank and file lil ass job? Like I’m not working for the NSA, but damn I gotta get a new gig.
