I guess my point is that there are 2 sides to every story and we’re only getting one side here yet many seem to be ready to throw the bartender out on the streets. Why?
Having worked in the service industry both in fast food and as a barista, I’m reticent to believe fully a story of the angelic customer being put upon by the horrible service worker.
I have been a bartender, and I would always aim to please the customer. Not for tips, not for acknowledgement, but for enjoyment and pride in my work. Perhaps you didn't like your job as barista and had people complain as you mentioned up thread.
I have had my share of less than interested bartenders, but this one, from the sound of it, seems like quite a piece of work. Glad the OP took the right measures and hopefully she will be retrained. Getting fired just means she will take that unhappy attitude elsewhere. It isn't easy being a low income wage worker in these times, and the stress is bound to increase if fired.
