The restaurant industry is unpredictable, and there is always a high turnover rate. Employees come and go, to and fro, to here and there. Not all managers know how to successfully navigate the trenches of employment. In this case, a manager flipped out at OP for 'telling on them,' AKA for informing upper management about the fact this boss was selling $1,000 worth of expired food to customers at a restaurant. Moreover, OP was informed that they were going to be paid on a certain day, but that promise did not come to fruition. So OP reached out to the manager in question, who had a lot to say, none of which was logical.

OP decided to quit after realizing that the situation was going nowhere. Firstly because the restaurant obviously didn't care about customers, and second of all, because they didn't care about employees either. Scroll down to read what happened after they quit. For more, here is an employee who found out they were getting fired after stumbling across a job listing that was promoting their position with a higher salary. This stung especially because the employee had asked for a one-dollar raise, which they were denied, and this job listing was promising a lot more than the measly dollar they had been denied.
