It's a job that requires no skill or education. Remove the bums

Hmm, I've worked at a lot of food related places and never saw this.

My job was the exact opposite and it actually infuriated me. In the three years I've been there, they've had many employees who would call in at least once or twice a week, and it screwed up schedules. Yet they wouldn't get rid of them until the rest of the employees started complaining.

I wish that was the case.
People get away with murder in an understaffed restaurant.

Yeah I'd much rather have some dude with the flu handling my food and working instead of being a lazy b**** and eating soup at home.

Because they're easily replaced and don't need to be well-trained

lolwat? At my place the rule is if you give an 8 hour notice, no write-up. Under and you can be written up, but you honestly have to be a f***-up or always call out for that to threaten your employment.
At my restaurant you basically have to cuss out a customer/higher up or do no-call/no-shows to get fired, and people who do no-calls kinda deserve it. I mean just lie if you're not gonna come in. |

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt at first, but you're definitely using your kid as a crutch when you call in twice a week.

seems like a great way to have people coming in sick or perpetually under-trained http://www.startribune.com/appeals-court-rules-in-favor-of-jimmy-john-s-franchisee/432345053/ Pro-union workers questioned food safety at Jimmy John's, linking it to sick leave. In early 2011, they put up posters displaying two identical Jimmy John's sandwiches, with one described as made by a healthy worker, the other by a sick one. "Can't tell the difference?" the poster said. "That's too bad because Jimmy John's workers don't get paid sick days."

Giving a 1-2 hour notice, especially during rush periods, is pretty f***ed up and usually not enough if we have to call another restaurant to borrow somebody. I will say that the 8 hours does f*** over the people who work in the morning, but luckily they're given more leeway since you wake up sick at 6 and gotta work at 7-9, you didn't know you were gonna be sick. |

Just get a job at Walmart, they let people just not show up for 2 weeks

When I worked at the local supermarket I hated their policy. You could only get a certain amount of absences due to health concerns, be it just calling in sick, or serious illness.
I first found out about that when I had a collapsed lung. It hurt whenever I inhaled and asked to leave early, and they asked me to work for another hour until someone else came in. I did so, then went to the nearby ER where I was informed I had pneumothorax and would be out for several days while I had this pump thing in my chest. They said it was fine and to just bring a doctor's note, so I assumed it was all good. Later I had a collapsed lung again, and this time it needed surgery, so I would be out for a few weeks. Same thing, bring in a doctor note and it'll be fine. But when I got back after calling in sick for work a few months later, I was given a written warning for excessive absences. They listed the dates I was gone, and I was shocked to see that they included my days off in the hospital :< It's like wow...sorry that a hole bust through my lung
