Do it Yourself
I was a busboy at a large banquet room. I told the owners that I had to leave by 8 pm. The manager starts barking at me orders that would have taken another hour. I told him that I was finished at 8pm and he replied, “You won’t be leaving until the party is over!”
I said, “Fine, I quit”. He replied, “Fine, I’m outta there as soon as I can find someone to replace you”. I said, “No, man… I will leave now if I resign”. See ya”. He repeatedly followed me from the reception area to the back hall to the kitchen and the parking lot, yelling “Nobody talk to him!” He’s gone forever! Owners called me into the business so I could pick up my payment.
They asked if I could please return. To avoid any possible begging, I lied to them and said I had another job. They were clearly unhappy with the manager, but they were afraid to fire them. According to what I heard, he shouted at employees and ate food intended for guests while suffering heart attacks every couple of years.
