Waitress fired for griping about tip on Facebook

Monday, May 17, 2010

05-17) 09:49 PDT Charlotte, N.C. (AP) --

A North Carolina waitress is out of a job after griping on her Facebook page about the $5 tip she got from a couple who sat at their table for three hours. The waitress says the customers kept her at work an hour after she was supposed to clock out.

The Charlotte Observer reported Monday that 22-year-old Ashley Johnson felt slighted after waiting on the couple at Brixx Pizza.

So she blasted the couple on Facebook, calling them cheap and mentioning the restaurant by name.

Brixx officials told Johnson a couple of days later that she was being fired because she violated a company policy banning workers from speaking disparagingly about customers and casting the restaurant in a bad light on a social network.

Johnson says she has apologized to Brixx and is looking for a new job.

that's such fucking bullshit. If I was the girl I'd expose every flaw of that place if they fired me like that. I'd dish out all the dirt on the cooks/manager/kitchen whatever i could to fuck with em even more! and FUCK FACEBOOK! I only fuck with the Twitter. I don't even do myspace anymore I just get on the space every once in a while to check messages.

That would be a smart thing to do if you never wanted to be hired by another employer in your whole life, especially after a story like this gets run.

Yeah people need to learn not to use your REAL names on any of these sites,
even if you use a screen name, companies can search for you by name.
You just don't want to exist with you real identity on any site.
Also why the fuck wasn't her page private? so that only her friends could see her posts?

Oh well here job wasn't that great anyways.
And i always have girls tell me in person how they are pissed about not getting tips,
or people being cheap! And they do it in the place of business! lol
I guess it worse to say it on facebook then..

on the flip side i been a bus boy/waiter/dishwasher before, if patience is not in you an you cant bite your toungue go to fast food. restraunt work is difficult because tips is pretty much your best income. but maybe she had shitty people skills, all she sound like is a whiney broad
