The funny thing is prior to my last owner buying the place I was ultimately fired from 3 years before I got fired. I hated the original owner's son. The son of the family who owned the place when I started working there in 05. He was obnoxious threw his weight around and everyone thought he was a dolt. But the view I didn't have that his parents did was that with all his flaws and bluster, he still was in that kitchen getting dirty with all of us, and when we had a good weekend or week or month we got rewarded. He was the biggest pain in the ass to us, but he really did have a huge heart which I did not see until the Walmart style new owner who bought the place from them was the real asshole.
That new dick of an owner upon our first meeting started his introduction with "Hi my name is, you don't have to worry nothing is going to change", I knew he was full of shit after his next sentence which was "I want several of these", meaning he wanted to Xerox the joint like McDonalds. He had no clue my work history of working for big companies who have middle management living in cubicles and CEOs 5 states away whom really are nothing but glorified bean counters, that I knew I was fucked right at that moment. I was surprised I lasted 3 years after that though. But it didn't take long to know what he was about because the cuts came within that year, and tons deeper than the old owners would have done because of a slow period in the season.
He even claimed he was going to learn to cook and run the kitchen, but that never materialized. It really amounted to him as nothing more than an investment. If anyone knows the history of KFC, the original founder regretted selling out to see what he created to become nothing more than a ATM machine.
