This past week a new cook started with us. He had stated that he really needed work, as his wife was just out of the hospital. Could he start right away? Sure, we said. After working Wednesday (a prep day) he wrote down his list of things to do on Thursday, took 3 brand new custom embroidered aprons with the Copine logo and left work.
And never came back.
No response to emails or a phone call after the fact. If this is the work ethic of some in this industry…I am not sure where that will leave the landscape of dining out. All that is needed is words. Maybe it was harder technique-wise than he thought? Or (more likely) he just chased after more money. But at least have the common decency to speak up and communicate. I don’t understand people?
And by the way: at the minimum you could bring our aprons back. SMH.
