Description:
The tenth job I was fired from.
Souplantation. (beginning of summer c. 1995)
I got fired after I called the manager 5 minuets before I was supposed to work and told him my car wouldn't start but that I thought I could get it running, and to not start without me, pushed the snooze button, waited 15 minuets, called back, telling the same manager, who had subsequently yelled at me the day before while turning all red and spitting in my face, that I got my car started, not to start baking without me, and that I would be there in 15 minuets, and be ready to open on time no problem. I never came in (rumor had it they couldn't open the soups or baked goods for 1 hr because of this on a Sunday, the busiest day, remember it's called souplantation).
I still went in the Monday after and demanded my paycheck. I told them that if they were going to fire me that they had to give it to me by law and they did right there. They gave me a hand written check on the spot. I think it was just to get me out of the restaurant forever though.
I lied to get the job in the first place and I am sure they knew it. I told them I had a bunch of experience cooking at all these restaurants that had unfortunately closed down. They were stupid or desperate enough to hire me as a cook with prep cooks under me. I told the prep cooks that they knew what to do and that as long as everything got done how it was supposed to I didn't care what the hell they did. I am pretty sure they did what they were supposed to do because I never got yelled at about them, they just thought I was funny as hell and would help me out because I was the only one in there that didn't treat them like shit.
the problem was, I got yelled at for everything else besides my prep cooks.
When they claim a muffin is born there every minute in their stupid commercials they mean it. I was supposed to cook like some kind of madman and I had no idea how to cook anything but Mac and Chee so I just grabbed the recipes and went for it. Everything turned out okay but it was more or less a total disaster everyday with shit constantly running out and burning or coming out undercooked or stuff was at the wrong temperature or some shit like that.
It all culminated when they gave me a really bad 3-month review and told me that a manager, this weird psychopathic Joe, was assigned to get me in shape. He was some really serious skinny kid a few years older than me who, instead of going to college, wanted to manage souplantaions forever because he could pay off his mustang 5.0 with chrome rims and a big stereo that way.
Joe would scream at me all the time and like a Zen master, I would just say okay and not do whatever it was he told me to do. I finally snapped and decided to never show up again on the busiest day of the week.
