Standing Up For the Employee
“My mom has been this person regularly throughout my life but I do have one positive story with it. She and I went to eat at portillo’s when I was a teenager and we sat in the back of the restaurant where it was more private so we can eat in peace. About 10 minutes into our meal two people come into the empty area and sit down two tables away from us. Turns out it was a manager and an employee that was getting written up. The manager was […] criticizing and belittling them. My mom put down her food and walked over and started yelling at the manager, […] she went on a rant about how rude and wrong it was of him to do this in front of the public two tables away from customers and really let him have it. She demanded the phone number of the manager above him and we left after she received it. I was pretty embarrassed at the time but as I got older I realized that she was standing up for that employee and how wrong that manager really was. – Reddit user meal.sk8erguysk8er
Although this Reddit user may have been embarrassed back then, they surely realized their mom was 100% right. This is one of the most positive “I want to speak to the manager” stories we’ve ever heard!
