Bartender dramatically quits his job over text after his boss scolded him for drinking on his DAY OFF

  • A bartender shared a text exchange he had with his boss on Reddit this week
  • His boss demanded he come and work on his day off to which the worker refused
  • The boss said he shouldn’t be drinking and needed to be prepared to work
  • Bartender then told his employer he would quit before telling him to ‘eat my a**’


A bartender quit his job and told his boss to ‘eat my a**’ after he was berated for drinking alcohol on his day off.

The fiery exchange kicked off when the man’s boss texted him at 3am one morning asking him to work an 11-hour shift that day despite him not being rostered on to work.

‘No thank you, tomorrow is my day off,’ the bartender responded as seen in a series of text messages shared to Reddit.

But his boss wasn’t having any of it and demanded he work, telling him ‘it isn’t all about you’ and that he needed to be a ‘team player’.

‘Why are you just telling me at 3am that I need to work 11 hours tomorrow?’ the bartender asked.

‘I’ve had a few drinks and don’t feel like coming into work hungover and working for that long on my day off.’

His employer immediately hit back, saying the worker ‘needed to be ready’ to come in for a shift.

The worker told his boss he wouldn't be coming in to work as he'd been drinking but his boss said he shouldn't be 'getting too drunk'

‘Getting too drunk is not a good look, if you can’t stay prepared sometimes things happen and we need to cover each other,’ the boss said.

‘You’re telling the bartender not to drink on his time off? Wanna tell the chefs not to eat off the clock too?’ he replied.

As the text exchange continued, his boss told the bartender they would be discussing his ‘attitude’ on his next shift to which the worker blatantly replied ‘no we’re not’.

‘Bartenders are needed all over the place now, I think I’ll just go work at one of the dozens of places hiring around here. I’m fed up with you.’

When his boss told him he was making a drunken mistake, the bartender simply responded ‘Eat my a**’.

The conversation went viral on the social media platform with one suggesting he should have never answered the message.

”You need to stay ready for work” is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read from an employer,’ one commented. 

‘He asked and you said no. He has absolutely no right telling you how you should conduct yourself when you’re not at work,’ wrote another.
