What personal information? Her name? That's not personal.

In what way did she "out" her?

A customer's name can be construed as private information. You can just as easily argue against it. I'm just saying that from a security/public relations standpoint, I side with what Applebees did. Dontknow

Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On.

You act as if there is some virtue in living a long flavorless life. My excesses will kill me, but they have made my life worth living.

Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard.

Quote from Landers

Eh.. I'm sure there is a company policy about this kind of thing. Plus the server ended up publicly outing a paying customer of their establishment. For themselves to save face, it only makes sense to let her go. I probably would have fired her too for posting personal information about a customer, and publicly posting what could be construed as company records.

based on the response seen on Applebee's facebook, twitter, and news story pages, I think they've only succeeded in running off customers. Their company policy regarding this is vague at best.

Also, Applebee's themselves have posted customer names online without consent. Double standard much?

Her signature? I would be pretty pissed if someone posted my name and signature on the internet.

I don't see how a name is private information. Names are freely available just about everywhere.

Quote from Cyrix2k

Geez, I'll say. How ridiculous.

Quote from dalokgawd

I don't see why. I doubt anyone would care or give it so much as a second glance.

What is someone going to do with your signature? It's useless without any other information.

I doubt she was surprised at the lack of tip - any server at some point or another will be stiffed. Just look at all the people in this thread complaining having to tip servers at all - you think some of them haven't stiffed a server a time or two before? laugh out loud

I think it was the really snarky and completely uncalled-for note written on the receipt that she found surprising.

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people out there who could wreak plenty of havoc with a name & a signature. Since you know the town & state of the applebees, you could probably easily find the person's address online. From there it wouldn't be hard to counterfeit checks...

Counterfeiting checks without a bank and routing number? And who would waste their time counterfeiting personal checks? If you're good enough to counterfeit on that kind of level, personal checks would be pretty small potatoes.

Soil chemistry. Why? Do PhDs in education flaunt their titles more than other PhDs?

It's worse, not even a real PhD, something like an EdD & every damn principal around here has one & expects to be addressed as Dr.

Soil chemistry.

I used to have a special chemistry with loam...but then I found out it was just a dirty silt.
