Burger King Employees Quit

I thought it happened in Nebraska?

I kind of have mixed feelings, I work in a repair shop and we don't have A/C. Couple weeks back it was over 100 degrees in the shop. We just kept plugging away. We'd take a couple extra 5 minute breaks for water but other than that, business as usual.

 

Having worked in restaurant kitchens in college as a short order cook, I cant blame them one bit... Kitchens are hot and miserable even with GOOD A/C, let alone NO A/C

 

Like we all tell aspiring O/O, if you don't have enough money in the maintenance fund to run for 6 months maybe you shouldn't try owning your own business.
I would think in the franchise agreements there would be a clause that the restaurant had to be kept up in working order.

 

I'll make a bet that the owner's house was air conditioned and comfortably cool.
If you want your hired help to produce you gotta keep them comfortable. Fixing the A/C should be a no brainer.

 

We don't really know who is responsible for maintenance though. It could be Burger King, the franchise, or even the building owner (who is renting it out) Heck, could be someone else is responsible department on the contract.

One past job I worked at the owner biught a two unit building. He rented out the second one and the furnace died in the winter time. After a compliment to the local building inspector he came out. When told they were disputing it in court he said he couldn't do anything else.
