The biggest mistake I made as a #Shiftmanager at #BurgerKing ...
It wasn't at burger king but I was working the line cause the drive thru was getting hammered and my line cook wasn't performing as well due to not feeling well and had to be sent home and us not having anyone to come in to cover him, I had to work the line, so I couldn't see the whole store like I needed too, 2 guys rushed In and made everyone lay down on the ground and demanded I open the safe, which had nothing in it cause i had already made to bank run, and the only thing in there was the change for the day, needles to say they wasn't hearing it and started kicking on some of my crew cause the time lock wouldn't open right away they wasnt understanding it opens at a reasonable amount of time, my crew and I were all afraid for our lives cause we had no idea what would happen once the safe opened and they saw it was nothing but change, I told them over and over there was no money in the safe, they wasn't hearing it, once it opened we could do nothing but pray, they took all the draws and change before they left, my mistake was my wife who was pregnant at the time was working there, that wasn't the first time something like that had happened but I thought it would never happen again because we had just gotten a new system that was supposed to be watching us daily to keep us safe, I put my unborn child and wife in danger because she wanted to work and new she was a good worker so I asked my boss to hire her because people was afraid to work that store cause that kinda stuff happened a lot, the crazy thing was when the robbers drove away we was running out the store for help cause we saw a cop car at the light, the robbers turned right in front of the cops and they both drove off, they did not stop or even notice us flagging them down, my wife never returned to work after that and ordered me to find another job cause she feared for my life daily after that and would have nightmares because of it and became extra protective of me which lead to our divorce because it became too much
I'm sorry, jobs come a dime a dozen but your life you will never get back. Cost you your marriage and I know burger king did not compensate you or your wife. Damn shame, hang in there.
