Okay, I know this sounds insane and it feels it. I'm only 25 minus 10. (Age restrictions) this was my first ever job. I'm gonna keep this as anonymous as possible, but I'm desperate for some guidance/ advice. I used to work in this cafe which was being ran inside another establishment, so the cafe was a separate business. I started work in January and got fired start of April. A bit of background info- our boss (call him rabbit) has told ALL his employees that were able to help ourselves to drinks (one per shift) and if food was past sales date we could take it home. I had never touched the food before the day I was fired as it never appealed to me. So, the day in question. I had to leave my house at 7:30 to arrive on time for 8am. So understandably (I think) I hadn't had time/ energy to eat before I left. I'm there with my coworker (call him frog) frog, who'd been working for rabbit for 2 years. I told frog, I'm super hungry around 9:30am and I'm thinking about buying a panini, frog told me not to bother paying and just to eat one of the paninis past sales date. I doubled checked if I should pay or not. Frog assured me and told me it's two days past sales date so rabbit wouldn't make profit anyway so why should I pay? I ate it, no customers about so it didn't affect anything. Then frog gets a text from rabbit, swearing and saying we're no longer allowed ANYTHING. And then rabbit calls Frog, swearing and yelling about me. "That fucking girl" "she's taking the piss now" and I'm confused, frogs confused. 10 minutes later Rabbit storms in and starts to yell in my face while throwing things about. So me and frog just leave. We're not dealing with it. My mum comes to pick me up and she's a proper mama bear. Maybe it wasn't the most ideal response but after months of me asking her not to do anything my mum lost her temper and stormed up to the cafe and told him off. Very loudly. Very publically. With many swears. She apologies to the onlookers for her language then goes to the manager of the building the cafe was running in. The manager was very accommodating, friendly and quite pleased someone said something. And asked us to take our reports further. It's been a week, I was supposed to be paid but £2.50p has been subtracted. I've tired to discuss this with rabbit and have basically been told I'm lucky that's all what happened. There is so much more to this and more to say but i don't know how much I can say right now. We're planing on getting in contact with trading standards and the building manager once again. Have I don't anything wrong? P.s rabbit had never once suggested or implied I'd done something wrong throughout my time working, and I'd actually had to point out to him that I'd been over paid by £20 and willingly gave it back to him after receiving multiple messages during school. I'm rambling. I'm desperate for advice. Help!
