The follow up text by your mom dukes is hilarious based off the context of the situation

I’d consider quitting just for them having the audacity to ask that.

I think I’d quit if someone asked me that

Gee, I wonder why jacob didn’t want to work there

“Even tho you’re getting married on sunday”, so he knows what he’s asking is absurd, and went for it anyway….heard.

“Boss, you’re gonna apologize and give me a dollar an hour raise for the audacity. It’s my wedding weekend you ghoul. Stop perpetually understaffing us.”

Idk Chris, but this sounds like something i would ask in jest and this is exactly how i would phrase it. But context matters. I’ve definitely had employees that i had this kind of rapport with.
If Chris is typically an asshole, i’d respond with as many middle finger emojis as possible.

It’s like your mom already knew this was going to happen lol. PS. Congrats on getting married brother

I love how he asked that like “it’s just the morning shift, then you’ll be free by 2pm… Plenty of time (probably) idk, IDC.”

The ol’ call-text one-two in <2 minutes… haven’t worked BOH in years, but this exact play is the reason why I never answer my phone anymore.

Listen I went from restaurant work to social work (CPS investigator) and the state does not even hit me up like this. They want me to do the work of 4 people, but they leave me alone on my scheduled days off and days I’m out. This is CRAZY

Had our reception at my place of work, I literally prepped everything for them, they just had to cook it. I ended up starting it and serving most. My daytime bartender called it. We laughed, but I’ll be damned if he wasn’t dead-on the nuts. “You’re gonna end up cooking for your own wedding y’know.”

40% of me is sure this is a fake troll post, but 60% of me knows exactly how managers are and knows those cunts would say this type of shit without a second thought.
I hope you didn’t answer until after the wedding and your only answer was wedding photos

Looking back I’m definitely ashamed that I worked the day before my wedding…and then two days after when I was scheduled. He didn’t care so neither did I…? Oomph

That’s so disrespectful

Hey, OP, I know you’re getting married and all but I reeealy don’t feel like working that morning.

Sunday: look i know your getting married later today, but i’ll need you again for a bit, maybe just bring your shit here and change right before your leave and do your wedding thing. Let me know when you can come in
DaneAlaskaCruz
Thought that this was just another story of a manager asking someone to come in on a random weekend cause they’re short when someone quit unexpectedly.
Then I read more closely. It’s the day before your wedding!
Holy fuck.
Even if you weren’t just flipping pancakes and you were the head executive chef of a three Michelin star restaurant that had a visiting State Governor or Senator or some other important guest for that weekend, the answer would have still been a resounding “NO!”
WTF. Your future wife/husband would have killed you.
Plus there’s always hundreds of small tasks to do the day before the wedding.
Then isn’t the rehearsal wedding and dinner usually held the night before the wedding day?

Is this Cracker Barrel? I worked there in 2017 and it was the worst😭 the only kitchen I’ve ever worked in that made me pay for soda on shifts

How tf do you type that message out and potentially expect a “yes?”
Dalostbear
Reading it in a singapore context, naming your manager CB is literally calling him a vagina/pussy.

He needs to march in there and do his job (manager), which is filling in.
MuletownSoul
I mean… that’s a ballsy ask, and one I’d never have done… but, if you’re going to ask, don’t you have to sweeten the pot in some way? IDK

Sounds like “Chris Manager” has a lot of work ahead of him on Saturday and should start prepping instead of making personal phone calls

We’re family here, of course! I’ll contact everyone on the guest list and just postpone in case you need me Sunday as well!
