Chili's Waitress Fired Over Facebook Post Insulting 'Stupid Cops'

[DoctorObvious]

34. Logical outcome of a person's choice of behavior or comments.

There is a particular public trust and fiduciary duty that restaurants must maintain. Any restaurant worker who implies that a customer better beware puts the restaurant at risk of liability for personal injury. It is never proper to post such comments, no matter who you are or what has happened to you before. If the cops were reprimanded and her charges were dropped, she already got remedy. No need to post as she did. Her indignation is certainly understandable, but even food service professionals have people's lives in their hands. Restaurant workers are a reflection of their employer and the reputation of the establishment. The employer had limited options regarding her employment status. A chain like Chili's likely has an employee manual that describes codes of conduct, violating that code is violation of one's contractual duties to one's employer, resulting in grounds for termination. We are all free to speak our minds, but we must be mindful of the potential consequences of what we say.
