An employee (a high school senior, age 17) at City Limits was meeting with her Navy recruiter and called one of the managers to say she was going to be a couple of minutes late. He told her that was fine. She arrived at work less than 5 minutes late.
Her recruiter came to City Limits about 30 minutes later and asked if she could take 5 minutes to speak to his commanding officer. Once again, the manager said it was OK for her to take her break and meet with him.
As she left the counter area, Terry (one of the OWNERS) asked the employee "where are you going?" She explained that the manager had given her permission to speak with her recruiter.
At that point Terry said "no I don't think so, you were already late because of this NAVY CRAP." The employee returned to work after apologizing to her recruiter.
Following this incident, this employee was not given any time to work for 2 weeks. When she called to ask why she was not on the schedule, Terry said "it's not working out, the thing with the Navy recruiter was the last straw."
It is disturbing that a local Nashville employer seems unwilling to work with a student who wishes to serve her country! It's a bakery, not brain surgery! I will no longer visit this establishment and I encourage others to do the same!
