This restaurant owner is the definition of evil...

This guy thought of everything under the sun to get out of paying his bill, but his server was not having it.

It's the unapologetic pettiness that really get me.

This chef shared the conflict in their restaurant that led to the resignation of the FOH lead and then the chef themselves. They shared their own resignation in a second “update” thread where they discussed that the conflict between them and the FOH lead, who had quit in the previous post, had put them in the owner's crosshairs.
