This happened years ago. I had surgery on my leg and couldn’t walk properly for a while. I gave my boss the doctors note and since I was casual, I told them not to roster me on for the next month since I was still recovering. They agreed.
I go there to eat one night and one of the people from Head Office was there. It was the Restaurant Manager.
I ate my meal and told my waitress about the discount because she knew I was still working there, so she let the RM know.
RM changes the receipt and as I go to pay, she says I’m not allowed to have my 50% off discount since I haven’t been working. I showed her the work policy from my phone that says all employees are entitled to 50% off during shift, after shift and even during days you’re not working, and that I’m still on the books so I have a right to it.
She said she didn’t want to give it to me. I looked at her and said “I want what I’m entitled to”. She then says “Fine, but after this…you’re never working here again.” I said “Fine, whatever.” Paid half of the meal and walked out. She lied in her work email saying I quit, lol. I couldn’t report her because casuals don’t get union rights according to Australian Law. And she was infamous for screaming at employees whenever they questioned her. I feel sorry for the people still working there.
