British pub fires chef, forgets he runs the house’s Twitter account

Note to any restaurant: The next time you fire your chef, make sure he doesn’t control your Twitter account.

After the Plough, a British pub, fired its head chef the week before Christmas, he took to the restaurant’s Twitter account to voice his grievances. The Twitter bio now reads “let this be a lesson to all bad catering employers ...�

“We’d like to inform you that we’ve just fired our head chef,� reads one tweet. “Unfortunately he wanted to have a weekend off this month and Christmas Day this year for family commitments so we thought we’d sack him.�

Then things started getting really awkward, and sad.

“We don’t care that he has a 7 1/2 month old baby daughter.�

“So anyway come on down and continue to pay a premium for Australian sirloins, New Zealand lamb and everything else that is bought from asda.� (Asda is a British supermarket chain that is a subsidiary of Wal-Mart.)

And the best part? He must still have control of the account, because none of the tweets have been deleted. Yikes.
