How Could They?
I am so angry with my dads family right now. Most of you who know me really well know that my grandparents own a restaurant called Skool Lunch. My family has had it for 20+ years and my dad has been there since the beginning. No matter how tuff it was, he stuck by my grandparents through it all. About 5 years ago my Uncle Jeff who left the family restaurant many many years before decided to move back to Utah with his family. When he got here he just couldn't seem to find a job and well Skool Lunch was struggling so my grandparents asked my Uncle if he would consider coming back to Skool Lunch and to help bring it back to where they wanted it to be. So Jeff came and took over my dads job because they said he wasn't doing enough. My dad gladly stepped down and took over the job at the commissary cooking and preparing all the food for the stores. He did that for a little while and for some reason about a year ago they decided they didn't like him being in the commissary so they moved him again. For the last year he has been the manager at our 4th south store downtown. He has also done very good there. His store is the only store that has been doing decent the past few months. However, that store is costing the company way to much money and so they are having to close that store and what are they doing to my dad??? They told him he had to leave. After 20+ years they are making my dad leave. I am so angry. They may own the stupid business, but they would not be surviving now if it weren't for my dad. He does everything for that company and I don't see how they think they are going to survive without him. If the computers crash there will be no one to fix them because no one knows how to do it, but my dad. If the system has problems they won't be able to fix it because my dad is the only one that knows the system well enough. They have treated my dad like this his whole life and I am sick of it. Out of all his siblings he has been the most loyal. He has done anything and everything my grandparents ever asked him to do and this is how they repay him. The worst part about it is they gave him less than a weeks notice. They just called him and my sister into a meeting to tell them that they can't afford my dad anymore and to more importantly tell my sister that she can't leave. They are such jerks. Oh, and you want to know why my uncle gets to stay instead of my dad because he is a JERK and can get whatever he wants out of anyone. He pushes everyone around that is why he gets to stay. I have lost all respect for my grandparents. They have ruined our family. I have not been able to really call my grandparents, grandma and grandpa since I was 14 years old. All they have been is Merrill and Jeanne the owners of Skool Lunch. I hope the restaurant fails. They don't deserve to have success when they will treat their own son the way they have treated my dad!!!!

That story makes me mad every time I hear it! I am so sorry Jessica. I hope your dad finds something soon, and I hope whatever it is makes him happy! I will NEVER eat at Skool Lunch!
I wish I would have seen this before I got a job there - I probably wouldn't have worked there. This makes me sad - I've learned that family that goes into business together tears their relationships apart. I don't think the company was run well by Jeff or Lissa - but who am I to say that? I've never run a business...
