If anyone who has had more than one job in their lifetime it means they had to quit at least one job in order to go to the new one, right? There are lots of ways to quit your job. You can put in two weeks written notice, which is the most responsible way to do it. Or you can decide mid-shift that you cannot bear the thought of coming back the next day so you quit with one day of notice. Or, if you’re like this woman, you can leave right in the middle of the shift, mooning your boss and slapping your ass as you walk the fuck out.
Such is the case with a restaurant worker who told her boss to “suck her mother fuckin’ dick” because she got hired at Yale. No word on what job she nabbed at Yale, but my guess is that she is the new dean of the mother fuckin’ English department. Also no word on how long she kept that job after her new boss at Yale saw this video and realized what a great choice the human resources department made.
By the way, my live show is next week here in NYC and I have a whole segment about the jobs I have quit. If you’re in NYC and want to see it in person, click here to get your tickets. I will also be live streaming the show for $2 so you can click here to learn about that.
And now the NSFW video that will make you cringe with discomfort while also applauding this restaurant worker who simply did not give a fuck.

Certainly not this extreme, but I have a flounce-quit story!
I had been working at the Red Lobster in my home town since I was 16 – at this point I was 20 and home from college on winter break picking up shifts. When I called to say I was available I specified that I would work Christmas Eve if needed, but could not work New Year’s Eve because its my brother’s birthday and the whole family gets together to celebrate – I was told this was fine. Even though I was trained on every front of house job in the place (including playing assistant manager when needed and being a cash checker and bartender), I was only given hosting shifts – no server shifts. Oh well, it would still earn me some beer money for the next semester.
When the schedule came out, I was off on NYE just as I requested (and was scheduled pretty much all day on Christmas Eve) … but when I came in for my shift on 12/23, I saw that someone else was given the day off and I was back on the schedule! I went right to the manager and explained that wasn’t workable and was told “tough – ____’s family is throwing a big party and she needs to be there.” I tried to plead my case that my family had something going on too and that I had requested the day off more than a month ago, but the manager was never going to do the right thing if it meant her pet couldn’t get her way.
And then all of the sudden everything became clear – I realized … I am a college student … I was only going to be here for a few more weeks anyway … and I DNGAF!!!
I said “(Manager), I will not be working here on NYE – you can find someone else to cover that shift, but it isn’t me.” She said “well you will if you still want a job!” And started to walk away … which was like dumping gasoline on a 20 year old on fire with nothing to lose! So I call after her “Actually, you are going to have to find someone to work my Christmas Eve shifts, too” (As in … the next afternoon and night which was already full on reservations – we still took reservations 10000000 years ago – and people picking up their crab and shrimp platters.) That got her attention! She spun back with a pissy look and and opened her mouth to say something no doubt evil and bitchy, but I cut her off and said “And tonight’s shift too!” With that, I unclipped the stupid rosette bowtie thingy from around my neck, extended my arm and dropped it on the floor. In a full lobby, in front of all the hosts and some of the servers. She said “You can’t just walk out!!!” And (hand to God) I said “Watch me!” and walked right the hell out the door … only then remembering my coat and purse were in the back.
Luckily, one of the waiters who had worked with me since my first day had seen the whole thing and came running out the back with my stuff – he was laughing and said it was the most beautiful thing he ever saw! A few others came out to say goodbye and then I was on my way. I made absolutely sure that this manager was not going to be there when I picked up my last check … the manager on duty at the time actually offered me a good reference and my job back if I was crazy enough to take it – took him up on the reference but decided my Red Lobster days were at an end.

WANTING to do something like that and actually doing it are two different things… I hope her new boss sees this and pulls out of his decision. EVERYTHING communicates……..no just spoken words…….from this woman’s accent, dialect, intonations choice of wardrobe and hairstyle all communicate…….. and the message I’m getting is not pretty. Seems like she should visit a communication professional, nutritionist, personal trainer and wardrobe coach. Here’s to hoping she improves herself in the future.
jaye
I agree with the 1st part of your comment (thru “2 different things”). I also suspect that any employer who sees this vid will straight up fire her, just bcz. I get dgaf, but this was waaaay over the top.
That said, the rest of your comment is racist and elitist. Comunication prof? Personal trainer? Wardrobe coach? Really?? Must be nice to be you. Check your privilege, please.
Last but not least:BW, LOVED your book!!

@Inquiring MInds
The first sentence of your post is fine. I agree completely.
However, from that point to the end you show yourself to be a little ignorant. Okay, maybe more than a little ignorant…!
My dear LITTLE person, apparently you never heard of
ANN RICHARDS, former Governor of Texas and good ol’ gal with a great brain and a southern drawl so thick you couldn’t cut it with a chain saw…
or MOLLY IVINS, a journalist who was also from Texas… same thick accent and had a column in over 400 newspapers (she may have carried a few more pounds than YOU would find acceptable (GASP!!!!!!!), but she lived a fine life without your approval of anything she did.)
Now, there are millions of highly intelligent woman who speak with all kinds of dialects and accents that to your refined ear may not sound acceptable. But, you know what? Just go sit on the nearest tack. Okay?

@ Sharon
Ignorance is the type of behavior displayed by this woman. Sorry you’re butt hurt that I told a truth that wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. BTW I don’t recall any photos/videos of “ANN RICHARDS” being an overweight, belligerent stupid person all the while wearing a do-rag. Tooodles!!!!
Sharon
See… you missed the point. I agree that it wasn’t a good thing to do. But, the rest of your post is puke.
You lil’ hipster person.
Rae
Epic way to go out! lol.
OMG BW, I was so hoping you’d live stream your show! So glad I’ll still get to watch you in NY from here in the midwest. lol.

Who among us hasn’t wanted to do something like that. Good luck at your new job.

I love that she horrified the preppy girl in the background. “Ooooh my gawd. Oooooh my gawd.” Hahhahhahha
