Any place that Rob owns is awful. I worked for another one of his establishments last year, and I loved it because a bunch of my friends worked there too. Of course, I also hated it because Rob is a complete pervert and a total asshole.
He preyed on the fifteen year old girls (and still continued to do so at skippers after this shop closed) while bitching at his employees to work harder and faster. I can recall countless occastions in which he would speak inappropriately to anyone underage who were too scared to stand their ground.
If anyone called him out on something or stuck up for themselves, he'd threaten to fire them. This happened to me twice in the time I worked there. My mother had to call me in once, because I had a severe migraine. He screamed at her, called her a liar, and hung up. I went in the next day and told him to -never - speak to my mom like that again. I decided to take a two week hiatus from that job to keep from losing it.
After that break, I had my migraines under control and I missed working. I burned myself on a grill and Rob's son got a tomato to put on it, so immediately Rob assumes that I'm stealing food and screams at me.
A few days later, I had a trip coming up the next day, so I had come in early to get some extra time in. I have Fibromyalgia (which we recently discovered a few months ago, yet it's been affecting me for my entire life) and I'd had a pretty painful attack a few hours into my shift. A friend of mine, also the supervisor, told me to sit down and take it easy until it subsided. As soon as Rob saw me sitting on a milkcrate, he demanded that I go home.
Come to find out, the morning I was returning home from my trip I was informed that I was supposed to "See Rob" (as it said on the schedule.) In other words, he was going to fire me. So I said "f* it" and didn't even go back.
I know I have the option of suing him for illegally firing me due to a disability, if not for possibly retaliation because I never took any of his shit.
You know, I'm really glad that Big Town Hero & Skippers are both under new management now. It's no wonder why the employees at Skippers were so rude. At least at BTH, we were professional and courteous, with the exception of the guy running it.
