Seen In Vancouver #397: Dishwasher Quits To Avoid “Middle Class Yuppie” Customers

The Union Bar was sent this outstanding “quit letter” by a newly hired, no-show dishwasher with exceptionally high standards but apparently low energy levels (no, it wasn’t Sean Orr). I’ve seen kitchen staff quit because the chef was an asshole or the hours/pay were too long/short, but the reasoning here is just amazing. Down with the bosses and fuck those middle class yuppies! Right on, brother (tips hat), and good luck to you out there.

PS. if any of our readers are looking for some extra dishwashing shifts and don’t mind working for “the man” (in this case, a woman), The Union Bar is currently looking to fill a void, and they have a sense of humour.
