General Am I over reacting on this

[kvr28]

So I always let my staff dress up for holidays. One of the staff came in today wearing a sweatshirt that says dump him on it as a joke. I don't think that's appropriate at all. I'm going to make her get changed on break because I just see someone getting offended about it.

Or am I just being an old man/get off my lawn right now.

 

[sparkuri]

That's funny actually

 

[sparkuri]

I used to have a bumper sticker on my shaggin"wagon that said "girl's suck, throw rocks at them".
I think it had a double meaning.

It's your business, you can choose to run it any way you see fit.

But yes, you're over reacting. If some dude gets butthurt about her shirt, he should get dumped.

 

[CuddleBug]

I say you're right, why not do everything you can to make a positive environment for your customers. It can be viewed as funny, but it's also a negative message.

 

[NiteProwleR]

You're such a fagit, OP. What was the question?

 

[FatChrist Magic]

You'll just come off as humorless. If the sweatshirt is indeed in bad taste then it reflects poorly on the person wearing it and not on you.

You made this bed and now you must lie in it.

So a little more background.

Two little old ladies came in as soon as we opened. One made a comment to her, oh sweety did you just go through a break up?

Server said no, I'm single, it's advice for you.

Little old lady said oh, I never would have done that. We were married for 56 years and he passed away a couple years ago. We started dating at 14 and got married when we were 20.

So they got sat and their server was the one with the sweatshirt.

She tried recovering from the earlier conversation and asked them what they were up to this weekend. Both said well since our husband's are both passed away and we are single we figured we would come out together for valentines day.

Agreed

 

[FatChrist Magic]

Well, based on the above exchange it sounds like her sweatshirt created an opportunity for connection and conversation. No need to police this, imo.

That is even funnier. Also, I need the address to OP's top less Valentine's day special.

I don't care about offensive t-shirts, but I would be a little concerned that she could be a radical feminist and might spit on my food before serving it to me.

If the shirt said "Fuck You," I wouldn't be worried at all, lol.

 

[Peruvian Necktiez]

the shirt doing God's work !

 

[Wiggy]

I'm enjoying this gimmick. lol

 

[Wiggy]

OP, make her tape two post-it notes to her sweatshirt to insert missing words, so that now it'll say "Take a dump on him".

Then she can tell patrons it's V-day advice for the ultra-kinky customers.

 

[kvr28]

See, this is why I come here for life advice, it's members like you that make TMMAC the best!




Assholes.

 

[NiteProwleR]

I would laugh if she put on a uniform shirt and stapled "freedom of speech comes to die here."

I had a girl once go in the bathroom with a pair of scissors to cut the sleeves of her t-shirt off, she felt me having the AC set at 74 was too high and should have been much lower, it was her statement. Fired her on the spot.

 

[NiteProwleR]

Lol, sleeves are gonna do fuck all . Anyways, now that you forced me to be serious that girl that told the customer "no it was meant for you" ruined her chances of keeping the shirt. Put two and two together, ffs.

"It's advice for you." Can't imagine why she's single. Nah, I'm on your side on this one. Less about the shirt and more about the attitude, especially to a pair of widows.

How fat was this girl? I keep my house at 78, year round. Except at night.

My wife still hasn't forgiven you for that.

Autumn/winter/spring we have it set to 60 degrees. Summer it's set to 70 and that's 3-4 months of incessant complaining out of her.

Fire her as a joke.
