If they fire all the recreational substance users there will be no one left to attend to the customers.

I agree with the sentiment – Don’t do drugs or be under the influence while working, but the way the KM went about communicating this could have been a lot better to say the least.
Feel free to downvote me if I’m going against the crowd with this one.

Man…talk about not knowing your target audience.
On the one hand, this KM seems like they suck.
On the other hand, I used to work in a kitchen at a hotel. The hotel had a cafe that was run by an independent outsider and his gf, they were high 24/7 and people complained that they couldn’t go there because it always smelled of weed/they weren’t comfortable going there with their children. Eventually they shut down and someone else took over.

Instructions unclear. I got blasted at home, came to work, and did the best on the shift. I didn’t hold any illegal drugs on me on the premises, so am I in trouble too?

If a customer complained and noticed obvious belligerence I could see this happening.
Need I remind you, the manager on staff is responsible for all employees. So if someone shows up fucked up, it’s the manager’s fault unless they report it.

I see what he was going for. Especially if most of the staff are minors, they aren’t able to make fully informed decisions. That said: if most of the staff are minors they’re going to laugh and ignore him due to the tone and horrible spelling/grammar

I know no one wants to hear this but eventually Peter Pan has to grow up and stop being fucked up on the clock. This industry isn’t a day care for burnouts anymore.

I mean… if minors are selling/distributing drugs out of your kitchen, then that’s a massive liability for the restaurant

I used to work in a glassblowing shop of they did this they wouldn’t have any employees. They had a ban on making bongs and stuff with their equipment but people still did they didnt care as long as they weren’t on company time

Nobody mentioned the minors aspect. Feel like this is somewhat reasonable in light of that
Not_My_Emperor
Yea I get where you’re coming from but the spirit of this is not wrong. Guy needs to take some grammar and spelling courses, but a KM doesn’t send a message like that unless half of y’all are consistently so fucked up on the clock you can’t be relied on to so much as wash a dish.
You can do/take/inject whatever the fuck you want on your own time but I’m on this dude’s side when it comes to clocking in. If I can’t trust your ass to run your station cuz you’re high as a kite then yea, Imma be pissed.

I get why it’s being said; liability.
If someone has a substance policy, but nobody knows what it is or says, then someone gets hurt and tests positive, there’s potentially serious consequences.
lawyers are expensive. Sucks but it’s something that can happen if dude gets hurt reaching in to get that deep fried ear bud.

“Don’t get high at work, or I will fire you.” Seems like an extremely reasonable rule.
Getting fucked up in the workplace is unprofessional, and makes you shittier at your job. Straight up addict behavior should not be excused just because you work in a restaurant.

I don’t think it’s embarrassing to try to stop your employees who are minors from selling and consuming drugs on the clock.
NotBradPitt90
He might not be able to spell that well but he’s not wrong.
ThatEcologist
I mean, they did say they didn’t care what people did outside of work. They just don’t want people doing it at work. I think that’s fair.
Gullible-Cup1392
What is it with yanks and “I could care less” It’s honestly the weirdest thing to say because it has no meaning.
It’s” I couldn’t care less ” Basically a polite way of saying “I don’t give a shit what your excuses are”
TheSadisticScott
Sounds reasonable. Don’t do drugs at work. My kitchen doesn’t accept getting high on the clock. The industry as a whole would be much healthier if more restaurants fallowed suit.
YoungLightning
lol. 4 years ago I would’ve laughed at this post while drunk and high . But now I 100% agree. Work is work and you shouldn’t be intoxicated if you’re cooking food for people that could potentially kill them if done wrong.(yes I know that a over exaggeration) but everyone knows what I mean. I guess age and maturity in the kitchen really does change how we see things.

1) If you’re going to be high while at work, keep your shit together or suffer the consequences
2) Dealing at work is a stupid thing to do and a massive liability to the business
I don’t see what the issue is here, it’s not like it’s a secret that you don’t have to be smart to work in/run a kitchen so making fun of the cringe spelling doesn’t detract from the overall point the manager is making here
Ozzie-Isaac
No sane adult will think the KM is out of line here. We are talking about a place that employees mostly minors.

Are you selling drugs to kids at work
Background_MilkGlass
Some people really think that they have a right to be fucked up at a job. Go seek a therapist and stop spending that money on drugs if you truly need drugs to get through your job
AskDocBurner
I think the normalization of substance abuse in the service and restaurant industry is extremely lame. If I have to be sober so do all you other assholes. Nothing is better than being in the weeds and having your pill head manager bugging around

>distributing
If I found out someone was selling drugs around minors in my kitchen when I worked there, the cops would be there instantly. Anyone using on the clock got shitcanned. I don’t care what excuses you make. Do it on your own time.
It’s a liability for the restaurant financially, legally, and physically. We work in environments with dangerous equipment. I don’t care if the meth makes you work faster or if the weed makes the shift go faster. It’s dangerous.

Manager doesn’t want his employees inebriated at work and you’re acting like he’s the bad guy. Either you’re a child and don’t know better or you’re 18+ and haven’t figured out how the real world works. Grow up, stop acting like every authority figure is out to get you, and take your gloves off while using your phone ffs
