CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- The wrong kind of whistle resulted in a grocery store employee losing his job.
Tom Pacholke, 18, said he was fired April 27 by his employers at Nino Salvaggio market in Macomb County's Clinton Township after using what is known as a wolf whistle to get the attention of a co-worker.
The co-worker, who Pacholke said he's known since seventh grade, was wearing a prom dress and walking into the market, The Detroit News reported Saturday.
Pacholke, of Clinton Township, said he was called into the market's office 20 minutes later and fired from the job he had held about 18 months. The co-worker didn't complain about the incident, he said.
Nino Salvaggio said the company has a policy of not commenting on employment issues.
Excuses. Excuses. Don’t want to hear from you. Could care less what you think. You are ignorant if you think I am a lib. I pray that you are old and on the way out of this Earth. We don’t need you!!!!
