This is how great they were as owners. Their son, was not exactly as responsible as you'd expect a kitchen manager to be. The old owners, not the guy who bought the place. Anyway, their son came in late, hung over, and started throwing his weight around, and the entire kitchen was pissed that he showed up late. I had had enough of it and I confronted him. He could have fired me on the spot.
His mother came in, calmed the situation down. After work that night, I get a call from their son, apologizing for the way he acted.
I was a dishwasher? He had no legal duty to do that. But his parents got on his ass. THAT to me is morality. It is when you have power, but you are not a dick about it.
I actually have more respect for what the son did in apologizing to me than the new owner, who couldn't fire me to my face and forced the kitchen manager to do it.
