Just for the record, he was the only one busing tables and at one point there were seven tables that needed clearing at the same time. I know I would not be able to clear seven tables, reset them and be out in the kitchen rinsing dishes all at the same time!
I have let his job coach know of my concerns and he feels the best thing to do for my son is to move forward. I feel the same way, but I want to know what went wrong at this job so we can stop it from happening again. It is also hard to know if it was my son's lack of skills, speed, or what that caused him to lose this job.
So we move on. Hopefully the next job will be a better match for him and for the employer so he can hold onto it for more than a couple weeks.
Thanks for all for the well wishes and words of encouragement. I do plan on contacting IHOP Corporate to let them know what happened. Not with the goal of getting my son's job back, nor with the intent of getting the manager fired - I just think he should be made aware that he is not treating people as he should be. Maybe he needs some training or something.
A person has only two hands and of course cannot work on 7 tables at once. But, it is reasonable to expect a busser to get 7 tables ready for the next customer in a certain amount of time.
