A Conversation with an Ex Employee

Hi 

How's it goin?

Several weeks ago, I was working. It was another busy night at Vincents, and service was in full swing. It was busy, not jam packed, but busy. We were in the middle resetting the restaurant for the next sitting, and everyone was running about, a lot. Everyone except for one employee. This particular employee was in the kitchen helping herself to a bread roll. This irritated me for two reasons. 

1: We were busy trying to reset the restaurant and this waitress decided to not help out, and just stop and have a snack.

2: Staff are NOT allowed to help themselves to bread rolls.

If they want something to eat that's fine, but ask. Don't just help yourself! Someone people come to the restaurant straight from another job, and so have no time to eat themselves, that's fair enough. If a staff member comes to me ands asks for something then I will always try and accommodate them, but don't just help yourself. This particular rule was discussed at a staff meeting just three weeks prior to this incident. So this waitress had clearly decided to ignore the rules. I said to her, in a rather firm tone of voice,

"You're not allowed to eat bread roles."

Now, when your boss catches you doing something you are not supposed to be doing, you apologise and get on with whatever needs doing. This waitress did not respond in the correct manor.

"Andy, this is my first and last bread role today."

I then raised my voice to a slightly louder volume,

"NO! YOU DO NOT HELP YOURSELF TO BREAD ROLES! NOW GO AND DO SOME WORK PLEASE!"

I then took the bread role away from her, and threw it out.

Several minutes later I was quite busy at the till, cashing off several bills, organising change, and trying to manage the staff. This waitress then approached me and told me not to talk to her like that ever again. I explained to her, that I am her boss, and she should not talk back to me, if your boss gives you into trouble for doing something wrong, you apologise and get on with your job.

Clearly this waitress disagreed with that policy, stating that:

"This is not my first job, and it won't be my last. So i'm quitting tonight."

To which I replied,

"Fine. You can pick up your wages at the end of the week. Goodbye."

After leaving the restaurant, she then sent a text message to the owner saying that I screamed at her in front of customers, I slapped her and that I am pathetic and have serious anger management issues. She offered to work the rest of her shifts for the week but refused to work with me again.

I had already covered her shifts with other, much better staff members.

This really pissed me off, she blatantly lied about what happened, and she bothered my boss, who she knew was on a night out. Is there any need?

Once I heard about the text she sent to my boss, I sent her a text of my own.

From: Andy G

To: Former Crap Employee

Good afternoon. For your information I did not slap your hand. I simply took away the bread roll you had been instructed not to eat. When your boss gives you into trouble you do not talk back. You apologise and get on with your job. At the time we were busy with reset. If you were on food and there was no food to go out, you find the duty manager and ask what to do. This has been clearly explained to you more than once. Most recently at the staff meeting. I do not have any anger management issues. I just prefer it when the staff do a they are told. This is how society works with employment. Employees follow the instruction of management. If Vinnie had told you to stop eating the bread roll, would you have had the same answer? I suspect not. 

Regards,

Your "pathetic" former boss. 

From: Crappy Former Employee

To: Andy G

Glad you text me andy because I forgot to tell you to fuck off before I left and now that I have your number I have the chance I hoped I will. You did slap my hand don't lie to me cause I was there remember? Say this lie to Vinnie to keep your job. Vinnie is a nice man that would never act the way you did, you're just a sad person. Now go fuck yourself and don't text me back, had enough of u already.

From: Andy G

To: Former Crap Employee

How childish. Good bye and Good Luck.

Telling a lie to keep my job? I think not. And if she thinks that Vinnie (the owner) would be nicer to her than I was, then she really doesn't know him half as well as she thinks she does.

I very much look forward to the day that her new employer calls and asks for a reference, cos it sure as hell won't be the owners who'll be writing it.

That's All For Now 

Until Next Time

Have A Nice

Anonymous Abuse

Hi

How's it goin? 

I just received the following e-mail.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Dear Anonymous": 

As for you six points,

1. You are not friendly you are a moaning faced prick.

2. You are as funny as having surgery performed by a retarded monkey who's using a rusty spoon as a scalpel.

3.If the party is attended by other wankers who are up their own arseholes then yes I will concede that they probably find you a good person to be at the party with.

4,5 & 6. Your "talents" are poor at best and it is good for you that today anyone can broadcast their mediocre thoughts to the general populous,as if you actually had to be good enough to broadcast things

any more then you would have probably gone quite mad talking to yourself in your lonely bedroom probably while masturbating on a diary of your meaningless thoughts.

Also anyone who you consider a moron I am sure doesn't lose sleep over the fact that such a complete waste of skin and oxygen doesn't rate them.

Lastly if any of your braindead cohorts read this probably dribbling a little, combing their beards or what ever other activities they spend their time doing while not basking in the glow of your company I'll just say if your his friend you're as big a waste of life as he is.

Well, what can I say?

I am curious as to what I have done to make you hate me so? The last time I dealt with abuse such as this, it was from loyal chav customers of The Amusingly Named Sandwich Shop. 

I can't think of anything I've done lately to piss anyone off. Perhaps you would like to renounce your anonymity and meet me in person in order to discuss our differences? I doubt you will do that, as you are clearly a coward. I suspect it is also you that is DISLIKING all my you tube video's. Do you not have anything better to do with your time? That's a bit sad isn't it?

If I might address the 6 points you had for me.

1: Yes I am friendly. Very friendly in fact. I'd even be your friend if you like.

2: I'd like to think I'm funny. Perhaps my humour isn't to everyones taste, perhaps some people find me an annoying bastard. But overall I'd say I'm amusing at least. I must say that your insult here was very good. I am impressed. You have also narrowed my list of suspects for your identity, it was far too witty a jibe for some of the people on my list to come up with. Congratulations on that.

3: I am not up my own arse. The comments I made in my previous entry regarding my redeeming qualities were meant to be taken in a humorous manner. I am far from perfect, and who isn't these days? I also find it completly unnecessary to insult my friends in such a manner. Are you perhaps jealous as you have very few friends? Don't worry, perhaps once you reveal your identity we can be friends? 

4, 5 & 6: You are correct in saying I'm not overly talented, this is something I have said more than once about myself in the past on this blog. Can I ask what are your talents? Apart from insults, these were impressive, I look forward to receiving more. You are correct that people who I consider morons probably don't lose sleep over that fact. Mainly because they are blissfully unaware of their own moronity. They say that ignorance is bliss, and I know several happy people. Plus, what do they care what I think? And for that matter, why do you? Why do you send me such abuse? Is there something missing in your life? Are you so sad that you must spend your time disliking my youtube videos and writing abusive emails to me? Seriously, take a long hard look at yourself, maybe get a hobby? Go to the gym and work some of your anger out there. Maybe switch to decaf?

If you do have the courage to reveal your identity, (which I doubt you will) then I would love to meet up for a Caramel Latte and have a lively debate about our differences.

I look forward to hearing from you, I suspect you will e-mail me again as you appear to be developing an obsession with me, who's the waste of life now? The wanker with the blog? Or the wanker who e-mails the wanker with the blog?

That's All For Now 

Until Next Time

A new comment

Hi 

Hows it goin? 

This comment was left on the blog today.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "The Anonymous Teuchter's Brother!": 

You must think we are stupid, this techter shite is just another scam you made up to get at Mother Tucker and her hard working staff. You fat fairy fruity whiter. You should spend your time haveing ago at the other shitty shops in the area like Dublin Dave, Crustys, Baget Express etc and leave her alone. As for wowzie its pure rubbish. 

Well Anonymous I might as well admit it, you found me out. You are absolutely right. 

I do think you're stupid.

The Anonymous Teuchter is real and those are genuinely real comments that have been left on this blog. I have no need or desire to make up scams to get a Mother Tuckerz and her hard working staff. I have no need to, They have a bad enough reputation already. I have no desire to continue writing about Mother Tuckerz as this blog is starting to turn into Andy vs the crap sandwich shop. It is YOU and your friends who continue to bring them up by constantly giving me unprovoked abuse. The Anonymous Teuchter and his brother are two people who I honestly do not know. But they found the blog because YOU fucking morons keep giving me abuse which I will then re-post as I find it quite amusing. This in turns leads people to discover my posts about Mother Tuckerz and it turns out that several people feel the same way as I do.

As I have previously said, I consider my feud with them over with, I am simply reposting comments left by OTHER people. I have no need to hide behind pseudonyms (that's a fake name, since you are quite stupid I thought I would explain that word to you) as I have already made my feeling about Mother Tuckerz quite clear in a very public way. If you truly are a supporter of Mother Tuckerz you would stop this abuse as all it does is draw attention to my feelings about Mother Tuckerz and the kind of people who frequent this establishment.

Think about it. Have a read of all the other comments which have been left by Mother Tuckerz customers. It makes the business look like a hang out for Chav's and morons.

By they way, what is a "fat fairy fruity whiter?" 

I have already stated in the past that I am indeed a fat bastard. I assume the fairy fruity thing is meant to be some kind of gay reference. I'm not gay. As I stated before I don't have the fashion sense. But even if I was gay, that's alright. It's ok to be gay you know. Are you perhaps struggling with your own sexuality so you are lashing out at the world? It's alright if you're a gay. I have some gay friends and they love being gay. All they talk about all day long is cock, cock, cock.

Sorry am I getting you excited?

What does "whiter" mean?

I would describe my ethnicity as white. So that's not really an insult, more a statement of fact.

I have never eaten in baguette express so I cannot comment on the food or service in that establishment. I have however eaten in Dublin Daves and it was brilliant. By far the BEST sandwich shop on George Street.

And as for Wowzies. They are brilliant. Why don't you like them? Is it because the woman in Mother Tuckerz told you not to? Are you that weak minded and downright stupid that you are that easily lead. I strongly advise you to stay away from timeshare salesmen. If you are as dim as I suspect you are then they will take you for every penny you've got.

You say that I should, "leave her alone" referring to Mother Tuckerz, I honestly was. I have no desire to continue writing about Mother Tuckerz or her (based on current evidence) dim witted customers. After my initial posts about the shop and my encounter with the owner, every other post has been me reacting to abuse received from Mother Tuckerz customers or re-posting others peoples comments regarding the shop. 

I am simply the messenger.

So you shouldn't shoot me.

In closing I would again like to emphasise that the Anonymous Teuchter is real. I have no idea as to the real identity of this person and if they choose to remain anonymous, then so be it. But I assure you it is not me. Why would I create a false persona to take the piss out of Mother Tuckerz when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself. 

I hope this has been a satisfactory response to your comment and you are not currently sitting in your computer chair scratching your head because I have used too many big words, while simultaneously looking at gay porn.(Its alright people won't judge you). If you people want to continue to abuse me then go ahead, I don't mind as I find it quite amusing. It is apparent to me that the people who do leave me abusive comments are quite stupid themselves. So it gives me something interesting to write about if nothing else. But please be aware that every time you do leave me abuse all it does is draw attention to Mother Tuckerz and does not portray them in a positive light. Both by highlighting my feelings towards them and by showing the type of customers she has. (Not very witty and a bit stupid, this is going by the comments I have received. I am not saying that ALL of her customers are like that, as I have not met everyone who has ever frequented her shop. But this is an accurate personality profile based on the comments I have received on this blog.)

Thats All For Now

Hi 

Hows it goin?

I received the following comments on my blog the other day.

ANDTYG IS FUCKING GAY AND A FAT BASTARD. YOU UGLY DOG. YOU STINK ALSO.

Andy Graham is a Dick Head

Hi

Hows it goin?

Yesterday I went to visit the staff at Mother Tuckerz. I spoke to the very lovely owner Sue, I think she might have a crush on me.

I asked if she will continue to donate funds to the college and she says she won't until the situation is resolved. s
I'd like to think it now is.

After the abuse I have become a victim of, I went to ask Sue what she thought of this situation and more importantly why she didn't get back in touch with me. She said she is a very busy woman, a single mum and doesn't have time. That's fair enough. I would have liked a email to say they are looking into the situation but she said she doesn't have a computer.

After a lively discussion things did turn slightly nasty, she said she is going to start a campaign against me, I am unsure how this will work and what exactly she is campaigning against.

At one point she did ask me what I wanted to be when I "grew up." I found this odd as I am a slightly over weight, bearded and balding 27 year old man.

Near the end of our discussion some customers entered and a couple of them knew about the letters I had sent.

This led to these young guys, who I can only describe as slightly chav, giving me some abuse. One of them who is clearly a comedy genius called me a "speccy git."
At this point I did ask if they knew who the people were, who were calling me ugly and if they could send me a picture of them.
I feel that is only fair.
One of the Chav customers asked if I had bluetooth as he could send me a picture of one of them.
I said yes and he seemed shocked,
"You mean you have an up to date phone?" he said with shock in his voice.
"Yes I do, much like yourself I measure my manhood by the phone I have." I replied sarcastically.
He then looked confused. I told him he might understand when he grows up a bit.

I gave Sue a print out of all the abusive comments I received and she claims she will frame them and place them on Mother Tuckerz wall. I sincerely hope she was not joking.

On top of this accolade, she told me she is going to start a special offer.

Any time someone goes to Mother Tuckerz and says,

"Andy Graham is a Dick Head!"

they will receive a free sandwich.

I suspect they might change the offer if enough people go in and ask, but I would like to think they will give you something for free.

So my friends, it is time I give something back to you, as a loyal follower of this blog I urge you to go to Mother Tuckerz on George Street, Aberdeen. And before you order say, 

"Andy Graham is a Dick Head!" and hopefully you will get something for nothing.

If anyone who does this would like to film it, I will put the video on the blog page.

Best of luck to you all, I wish Mother Tuckerz all the best and I hope they honour the offer that Sue mentioned.

Now dear friend, dear lovely reader, I realise that you love me, and I can't blame you for that. 
I know what you're thinking, you're thinking there's NO WAY you can go to Mother Tuckers and call me a "Dickhead" well don't worry, I won't make you do that. I have developed a way that does it for you.
I have created my own clothing line!
I have created over 73 different products that say Andy Graham is a Dickhead
T-shirts
Jumpers
Hoodies
V-necks
Mugs
Stickers
umbrella's
all for sale at a reasonable price.
So if you want to buy one of these wonderful products then simply go to

Please do go and buy something then wear it on your visit to Mother Tuckerz. I'm sure they will get a kick out of it and you might get something better than a free sandwich.

Some more Abuse from Mother Tuckerz

Hi

Hows it goin?

Yesterday I wrote about the comments regarding my Mother Tuckers letters. Late last night I received some more abuse from some people who I suspect are the staff.

Anonymous writes

Okay it's 2.20am and my mate's Fiona and Terry and Colin and Andrew and the list goes on and on and on have just text me to say some di*k head was saying Mother Tz was sh*t. Not sure who you are or what you smell like but guess what I think my dog plopped you out on the grass today and I had to pick you up and put you in the bin. Your colour is BROWN!!! Mother Tz is really, really good and the food is the best on George street.

(I'm little happy just now) Anyway getting back... give your tast buds the old mouthwash treatment as you must also be blind. I promise all who read this the food is honestly the best and everytime we aLL GO IN EVERYONE BEHIND THE COUNTER IS VERY NICE AND POLITE...Yeh for sure! 

I hope this Brown colour of dog poo wises up and gets a brain and a face lift because god dam is he way ugly. Thank god you are not the only guy in the world....we would all be single or lesbos. NITE ALLXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 

Now if I might respond to anonymous' comments.

First of all let me congratulate you on a very well constructed comment, your wit clearly has no bounds. (sarcasm warning)

I am a tad confused by this section.

"Anyway getting back... give your tast buds the old mouthwash treatment as you must also be blind"

What? 
How has anything I have ever said make you think I am blind?

How would having mouthwash treatment cure me of my apparent blindness?

How are these two conditions even related?

I am not a doctor but I don't think there is a connection between the taste buds and eyesight. 

I might be wrong, like I said I'm not a doctor.

I would disagree that the food is the best, but that's just my opinion. I am sure the staff are all very nice and polite, I have never questioned the politeness or character of any of the staff of Mother Tuckerz. I have only questioned the apparent lack of product knowledge of the counter staff and the lack of professionalism of the manager/owner for selling out of date products, not responding to either of my letters and for sharing my letter of complaint with staff and customers.

I hope this Brown colour of dog poo wises up and gets a brain and a face lift because god dam is he way ugly. 

Again let me congratulate you on a well constructed insult. I don't think I have ever been called a "Brown colour of dog poo." 
In fact I don't think anyone has ever. 
Please don't take offence to this as I genuinely am curious, but are you someone with learning difficulties? 
Or any you only 10? 
The insults you throw at me do have a somewhat childlike quality about them.


I should let you know that I do actually have a brain, admittedly I don't use it for much but it does exist, I assure you. 

Perhaps you are mistaking me for the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. I did play this character in the 1993 production of The Wizard of Oz at Forehill Primary school. I am told I did very well. Which came as no surprise, I am awesome!

I would like to say there is no need to attack me at a personal level claiming that I am "way ugly." 
I think this is completely uncalled for.
Are you a looker yourself? 
As I said to the other Anonymous defender of Mother Tuckerz, I would like to see a photo. 

Even then I would not call you ugly, fortunately I am intelligent enough to judge a person by there actions and the content of there character, not by what they look like. Maybe one day you will be that evolved too.

I have noticed in these abusive attacks that no one has yet offered me an explanation as to why no one at Mother Tuckerz has replied to me and all people have done is hurl insults at me which have no basis in fact. I suspect these insults, originate from the minds of children who have no appropriate response to my genuine concerns regarding the business practices of Mother Tuckerz. I find this quite a depressing state of affairs. 

Mother Tuckerz cannot defend itself properly so they attack me on a personal level. I never attacked any of the staff personally, I simply stated the facts of my visit and expressed my concerns regarding the staff's product knowledge and the sale of out of date produce. 

Thank god you are not the only guy in the world....we would all be single or lesbos. NITE ALLXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Even if I was the last guy in the world what makes you think you would have a chance with me???

Given your attitude, and apparent lack of intelligence, I really don't think I would be up for it. Which in many ways is your loss. Cos let me tell you, I am a hell of a catch! I'm very funny, very friendly, very generous, I'm great fun at party's, and I am a fantastic dancer. And I'm very good in bed. Well I always have a good time, and that's what counts. 

And even if a women was a lesbian that doesn't mean she wouldn't be interested in me. My friend Wendy is gay and she once kissed me on the lips. In fact if I remember correctly she did it twice!

Another comment from someone who has been brave enough to share her name.

Emma here, Lets not say anything more on this guy's Comment page. All he wants is MORE FRIENDS!! Mother Tuckerz is a very nice place to eat and I know the Manager Gives about £1000 a year to the Collage Students funds!!.

She also told me she would not be giving anymore donations. So we have this ANDY Graham to blame for this. Thank you FOR NOTHING ANDY GRAHAM 

I am unsure how you giving me abuse on my page will somehow result in me getting "MORE FRIENDS!!" If anything, the result will be the opposite, my friends will see what a miserable, moaning bastard I am and stop hanging around with me.

I do not know if the manager does give money to the student funds. How has this been done in the past? I very much doubt this to be true. I may be wrong, but I think it is unlikely that a sandwich shop manager donates £1000 a year to students.  Unless, is the £1000 money earned from the sale of out of date products? 
Have you entangled Aberdeen College in some kind of money laundering scheme? 
Oh dear god, are you in the mafia? 

If in the unlikely event you are telling the truth and the manager is no longer going to donate funds I would like to ask why? This seems a somewhat childish move on his/her part.

I am very keen to meet the manager in person and discuss our differences. If you are a friend of him/her please pass on my regards and ask if he/she would up for a meeting.

Also I think you meant to say, "College student funds." 
With an "e."

Unless "Collage student funds" is some kind of cool new art project. If that is the case do you have any details as I would love to be involved? I do enjoy a good collage, and apparently it's really easy.
