I worked at Pizza Hut and we were open on Thanksgiving. You had your choice of shift and they were short and we did not open until 3PM.
I don’t work at Pizza Hut and I’ll be home tomorrow enjoying the holiday with my family.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand that people are needed to work on the holiday at important jobs like the military, police, hospitals, and etc.
But Pizza Hut?
And, like I said, you know for damn sure that the executives of that company will all be home enjoying their holiday while the peons have to work.
When I worked in restarunts, you worked on the holidays - because the stores made money on those days. And yes, people will eat out on Thanksgiving, even pizza.
Were they able to see over the counter or did they suddenly sprout after 3?
It is one thing if a line cook or waitress does not want to work. It is another thing entirely if the General Manager says no.
I think firing him was a bit harsh but its up to the franchise owner.
3pm is usually about the time we sit down to Thanksgiving feast
