Restaurant Owners Pt.2

Well, the honeymoon phase of my new employment is over. I had my first major blow out with the fucking dumbass owner. I don't know what planet restaurant owners are bred on but I get the feeling there is a severe lack of oxygen in the atmosphere. These people live in fucking la-la land. Every one usually has one or two trivial things they fixate on, and this one is no different. This dumb fucking rich asshole has figured out how to get on the POS (if you don't know what a POS is, go fuck yourself) and click the button that gives labor percentages. He then proceeds to fret about the number it gives him. The labor percentage is basically what we spend on labor versus how much money we are bringing in. Simple right? Except when you ask the computer to give the percentage at the beginning of the night instead of the end it looks all fucked up. I've got 8 guys on during dinner. At 5:00 pm the restaurant hasn't done any business yet so the labor percentage looks horrible. If you checked it at 11:00 pm it would look great. The dumbass owner can't get that through his fucking head though. I cringe when I see him walk in early in the evening before the rush has started because I know he's gonna hover over the screen (the same screen the servers need to punch in orders, thanks for getting in the way asshole) and get a bunch of skewed numbers that make it look like we're losing our ass when we're not. Then I have to hear all about when I should be preparing my kitchen for service. Fucking bullshit. Since I've arrived I've shaved $2,000 a week off our inventory (that's over 100 grand a year) and yes, I've lowered the labor cost too. Yet I have to listen to this prick chew me out because of some inaccurate bullshit numbers the computer threw at him. Last night, after I finished dealing with some random crisis for the fiftieth time that day, he started in on me again. I fucking snapped and told him I'd fucking walk if he didn't back the fuck off. Naturally he didn't appreciate that to much and it only escalated from there. I probably would have been fired if the GM hadn't reminded him later that I set up a system that's going to save him over 100 grand this year (which is a fuckload more that I make) and I will be saving him more in the future. If I do end up quitting or getting fired I will be damn sure to undo all the improvements I've made so that asshole can wallow in a couple hundred grand of unnecessary expenses every year just because he's too fucking stupid to let a goddamn professional like me do his job without interference. Fuck restaurant owners.
