Food thief DUmmy gets canned

Well DUmmy whatever it really was that got you canned it wasn't just a "french fry", maybe crappy service, screaming at customers who's views of politics that didn't go along with yours.

I just got fired over a french fry!
 True story. I worked for a local casino. Managment, cooks, etc were allowed to eat whenever, wherever, whatever, they chose but the food servers are not. I have been busted a couple of times before for toast...yes, toast. Today it was a french fry.

I was told I had had too many disciplinary actions (write ups) therefore, I was fired. I started there in Dec. of '08. My record was pristine, PRISTINE for 8 months until I divulged my bi-polar, it has been hell ever since.

I am numb.

In other words you won`t abide by the rules,you claim as a defense (my assumption but bet accurate) that you have a mental issue so a place that has to deal with crowds and large sums of money fires you.


What exactly is the surprise here?

You mean, other than that the rules of reality - this reality, not the Bizzarro World reality DUmmies inhabit - applied to this DUmmy?  :-)

7. Well, actually
   
I am a social worker that was pretending to be a food server. I hope you are right, Fire Walk With Me; however, I am 58 years old and we all, at this age, knows what THAT means  

Greyt, just what the other mentally ill DUmmies need a social worker that also suffers from mental illness.  :mental:

I knew it was familiar.  I'm thinking the DUmmie had more than it's fair share of warnings of various rules violations and the french fry was just the last straw.  The fry was probably taken from a customer's plate in view of the customer.

You don't just get fired for eating the food.  Not that it doesn't happen, but you'd have to down some pricey food just for that.  Sounds like she just didn't want to be part of the team.  Restaurant work, waiting tables, or working in the kitchen is 100% teamwork.  Probably refused to help the other servers, probably had a nasty attitude in the back of the house (away from the customers), probably slacked at her job.  That's what will get you fired.

Aren't there medications for being bi-polar?  Wouldn't alcohol be contra-indicated for those meds?

And yes, alcohol is VERY BAD for bi-polar disease. Meds, such as Depakote help, even though they are designed for a different affliction. And a social worker would know that.

No laylah they did not fire you for being a manic-depressive.....they fired you for stealing and  your lack of impulse control which is a hallmark of all bipolars. Your meds are supposed to help with that but it sounds like you don't take them! Another hallmark of manic-depressives you take your meds and then you feel good then stop taking them because you feel good! :whatever:

It certainly wouldn't have been the bipolar (unless that, too, was a lie of convenience), any large organization has an H.R. department, and H.R. people get the willies real bad anytime anything that smells like ADA crawls around - they might have started making sure that everyone wrote down whatever disciplinary comments they had to make, and documented them (e.g., with witnesses), mainly to protect their hinies from ADA liability, which may have collaterally led to your firing because then they would have had a good record of your malfeasance.

OMG!!!! Nobody better ever answer that questions affirmatively!

I'll kiss your ass if "it" isn't "self diagnosed" into bi polar. This is absolute BS! You mean to tell me they hire bi-polar imbeciles in order to counsel, bi-polar's who are in need of help???

To be fair, being bi-polar doesn't preclude someone from being intelligent, wise, successful or anything else. It's very possible to be bi-polar and become anything you want. It may just take one helluva lot more work.

I understand that, but the problem I have is DUmmies have to have some sort of mental illness in order to get street cred. Wouldn't surprise me if it was not invented, then lived or "self inflicted" itself, in order to be part of the "crowd"!

I'm thinking that you're right on on this one. She got caught putting her fingers in a customers dish.

There's always more to the story. Can you imagine someone like Paul Harvey covering the DUmp? :lmao:
