So I work delivering pizzas roughly 30 hours a week. Its a fairly well known franchise in the midwest (specifically Illinois) and starts with an A. We get are products delivered to us on Wednesdays. Well this past week, no delivery. Turns out, the owner has around 15 grand in overdue bills to them. Now here is my issue with this. The Mom/Son that own our store are literally worth millions. They say we aren't doing good and all this stuff. Honestly, for a restaurant that opened less than a year ago, we are doing great. We are in the positive (except for this one bill) and we aren't losing money by being open. Given the times, this is exceptionally well for a new restaurant. Their not seeing 5 or 6 figures every week so its not good enough.
And of course last night we got extremely busy. We got down to one box of pizza sauce. Our sauce, cheese, italian dressing, mushrooms, are all brand specific. People don't want the stuff they can buy at Jewel themselves. Thats why they come to eat at our restaurant. There was a chance of us not being open today because we would have no sauce, but someone went and bought some from another store (brilliant isn't it? go spend more money on stuff we could have delivered). The guy from the food company finally came last night, and he threatened to start taking back anything they had they they didn't pay for. Needless to say they cut him a check for over half of what they owed them.
I hate seeing something have so much potential be ruined for something stupid. Time to try and find another job. :roll:
