Employees Have a Life





If you want to go good restaurant for breakfast at a reasonable price in and around Marietta, Georgia (and Jimmy Carter Blvd) I suggest Martin’s.  The employees are well organized like a fine oiled machinery. 

However, if you like to see pleasantry and politeness of a restaurant employees in the afternoon just before closing time at Martins, well, I would not go to Martin’s.

I have been to the Martin’s on Jimmy Carter Blvd, Austell Road, and another one near closing time and faced blunt rudeness.  At one, an employee mopped very close to us with that wet mop in two of the restaurants.  In one near closing time the manager sent one lady to start putting up chairs and to mop.  While she was doing that they had an unpredicted bunch of customers to come and all hands that were cleaning up had to report back to help serve.  One young lady refused to come and kept mopping and picking up chairs and turning them upside down.  The manager had to get rude with her.  I thought he was going to have to pry that mop out of her hands.  She wanted to leave.  And so did the other employees that could not go home until they left the place sparkling clean, which is hard to do if customers are hanging out leaving gravy spots and crumbs of food all over the place.

I know, I been there.   When I was a teenager and worked at the Big Apple we could not leave on Saturday night until we mopped.  We used to get on an aisle away of slow poking customers and throw boxes of goods over the high shelves and hopefully lightly hit them – maybe they would get the hint.
