     I gave my heart and soul to the fast food industry for almost 9 years.  A month ago my assistant decides to cuss me out in front of customers (F bombs and all).  Since I wasn't allowed to reprimand him without my supervisor's permission I went to her about it.  Her reply..."I don't think a reprimand is warranted".  WTF!!!!  Two years ago he got into it with a manager lower than him in the same manner.  She got suspended, he got nothing.  I told my boss that I couldn't run a store in which my assistant could do what ever he wanted . 
     Three weeks ago tomorrow I get called in on my day off for a meeting with the owner.  I figure maybe something is going to finally happen to this guy.  His first words to me.."I accept your resignation".  WTF!!!  I look to my supervisor and say "What the heck is this about?!"  She replies "You said you couldn't work with him and wanted to quit".  I replied to her, "I only asked for him to be reprimanded for cussing me out in front of customers."  She looks to the owner and says "I don't recall having that conversation."
      To top it off I file for unemployment. It gets denied because the company says I quit.  So I appeal it.  Waiting to hear about that.  Good point they gave me a 2 week severance.  I will get my last check this week.
     Silver lining is this.  I went to open job interviews today.  I got hired as long as I make it through the next 3 days of training.  My base salary will be almost double what I made as a store manager BEFORE commission.   So I got paid to sleep in for 3 weeks and start a new higher paying job 3 weeks to the day. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

coolness.

 for what it's worth now.........carry a digital voice recorder with you. whenever youi have any of those types of conversations.........you need to record them. don't let the other person know.
 in your above case, legal or not is irrelevant. just do it. can you imagine the look on your managers face when you played back the conversation that she said she couldn't recall?>  :devil

Be careful, in some states I believe recording a conversation without the other knowing is illegal.  It is legal in Texas as long as there is a consenting party, and you can be the consenting person.  What I am saying is make sure you know your state law concerning this so you don't open a bigger can of worms.

This got me curious, so I did a quick search.  Appears there are 12 states that require two party consent.

If you live in one of those states, you might want to be a little careful about recording conversations, or the issue could be you in court.    :D

Damn dude, I'm sorry.  It's a horrible industry, any large-name food or retail gig.  Fortunatley for me it only took 3 years of my life to figure out it was best time to move on, with or without them as a good reference.  When they call you back in 8-10 weeks, tell them you already got a job paying you twice as much, so if they make it 3-times and to fire that guy who got into it with you, then they got a deal.  :D
