So here is the situation...I am growing tired of the brutal events that occur at my bar. If it isn't battling with belligerent patrons, it is dealing with my horrible new manager. I have had a very clean record over the past 2 years in terms of being right on the money with the money. I am anal and am a perfectionist. I view any variance to my clean record as a serious black mark on my otherwise very clean history.
Since this new manager has come around, there have been 2 occurrences where my til is short a substantial amount of money. Please let me start off by saying...this guy has his dirty paws on my til on Thursday nights. Why? Because it gets very busy and sometimes...the douche needs to step up and take some orders. This shouldn't be a problem in my eyes. The result of this however is that I lose control of what is happening with my til. At the end of the day...if this guy puts his hand on my money...he is equally responsible for whatever problem transpires. So, on occasion #1...I paid out 100% of the loss. I did have a serious discussion with my boss about this. During that discussion, I said very clearly that if something like this was to happen again...the dick would have to pony up 50% of the loss. I think this is fair and maybe even too fair considering this wouldn't have happened if that nerd didn't touch my money. I am diplomatic however. Because I did pay out all of the loss the first time, I not only had a discussion with my boss but also my manager. I told him that if this was to happen again...he will pay half. He agreed. Well.....last night was event #2. This time it was almost triple the loss of the first time. I almost lost my shit. I explained to him that he WILL pay half of that and to my surprise he told me NO!!! Can you friggin believe it?
So...I have made an executive decision. If the jackass gets away with not paying 50%...and in turn I have to pay 100%...I will quit! I refuse to let my boss take advantage of me in almost every single way. I am an unofficial bouncer, I am more of a manager than my actual manager, I am the one and only bartender that has been loyal and toughed out the hard times, I have a spotless record in terms of my money always checking out (before the loser arrived) and for my boss to take sides with that mo fo....is the ultimate shaft. Well...I have hit my threshold folks. We will see what tonight unfolds.
With that said, anyone know of any bartending/serving positions available? xo P
