So he acknowledges the shitty working conditions we are all expected to accept, then directs his ire at the ones who are standing up and doing something about it. makes perfect sense.
Think they’ve maybe (wisely) deleted this post from their page
How much is a bag of chips these days?
I think they’re doing ok.
Cunts. Don’t blame the strikers, blame the Tories.
The invention of social media was the worst thing to happen to idiots. Now everyone knows
Such a shame they were forced into this life, the moaning wank. Did that tosser Colin Neill type that by any chance? The sour faced cunt.
Not a very pleasant post, why do so many employers think it has to be some sort of race to the bottom. Thankfully, we don’t all have to choose to work in hospitality, it’s the job he works in so why not improve conditions rather than begrudge others trying to improve things.
Reminds me why there is nothing worse than working for a small business
Imagine this wanker was your boss
The vast majority of those striking have worked hospitality earlier in their lives. I doubt the chief burger wrangler has worked overnight shifts in A&E or looked after 30 children with language and development issues.
Aye makes sense. Have a go for drivers striking “knowing the pay when they took the job” as well as gurning about the hours and costs of running your own small business which no doubt was opened “knowing the conditions when they took the job”.
Yeah, I’m sure the striking cancer nurses would find hospitality far worse.
What an idiot.
The Google review from a photographer regarding the owner of this place is interesting
That’s the last straw, I’m cancelling my licence fee.
What guys like this fail to understand is that better pay for these strikers equals more money that can be spent in the community where they live. This in turn benefits businesses like that owned by this prick. Typically, paying staff as little as possible and by his own admission enduring poor working conditions. Have a lot of experience in this sector and whilst there are many good employers unfortunately this type of tosser is much too prevalent. If the strikers were paid the same way as his employees there would be less disposable available to spend in his business.
I really don’t understand how someone would think this would reflect well on them.
Bit dumb hammering potential customers! What’s he got against bus drivers?
It’s always the speciality burger cunts isn’t it
Burger boy should try a night in A&E the walloper
I LOVE burgers but they aren’t getting my custom
bro angry for the right reasons against the wrong people.
Looks like they removed the post and the whole Belfast Burger Company, well at least the Larne branch (since they currently have 2 locations, one in Belfast and one in Larne and apparently a third on the way as a post was put up the other day that the owner signed a lease at a new location) is a place myself and some people I know don’t recommend especially after the way they treated someone I’m close with when they worked there during the first two weekends of their operation in Larne. The boss treated them horribly, didn’t show them any respect and never allowed for them to take any quick breaks or give them any food during the four shifts that they worked. It was their first part-time job and no wonder why they left, the people running that place just made them feel like the hospitality sector isn’t for them and they didn’t even pay them in full for the 20 hours over the four days/four shifts that they worked (but just decided to leave it be so that they could finally cut ties with that place after they quitted the job), now they currently looking for part-time jobs and I’m currently trying to see if there is going to be any more open positions in the near future at Home Bargains where I work because the bosses are amazing there, they treat me with great respect and the job is not a stressful or difficult thing at all. I’m going to assume the comments on that Facebook post might have caused them to delete it but I’m not too sure as I only saw the post a few minutes after it went up and there was only one comment at the time but it was a positive comment.
He’s deleted this post and has just a few minutes ago posted the following;
“Well as it’s clear there was a post regarding today’s strikes and strikes held few weeks ago..
The post was not aimed to cause offence nor was it intended in anyway to demonstrate in anyway that I do not support public service workers in any field. It is very easy for words to be taken way out of their intended context. That’s the reason I removed the post not to shy away from it but it is clear it was being taken well out of the context it was intended.
I openly apologise to anyone who found it offensive or discouraging for them standing up for what they believe. I never said or intended for it to be understood I am against strikes, people have the right to stand up and be heard on all matters that they believe in. The post openly said I do not think the minimum wage is enough to reflect the cost of living or the work ethic behind each person who goes to work in any field.
My ignorance in the fact I have never worked any other sector other than hospitality which many will know soldier on there is no such thing as being in a trade union or very little if there is it’s something I personally have never had any involvement, there for it has been up to me threw out my career if I want more money to go hunt that higher paid job or work the crazy hours of that many work to take home higher pay of course not before getting screwed by tax for the extra hard earned money.
I posted the earlier post with the point that I was only having a conversation the other day with a friend and fellow small business owner that small businesses should be doing something to stand up against the huge rising costs that are making running business harder and harder, it was not in anyway to say striking is wrong or that I am against it.
For those who commented why I chose to be self employed there are few reasons and I can say being self employed no person goes into it with the intention to upset or leave customers unsatisfied. The first reason I made the decision to become self employed is I took a serious heart attack this woke me up to the fact if I am going to die from stress or get sick from stress it is better to be my own stress not the stress of working understaffed and having to do so many hours just to take home a fair wage. The second reason is for my kids to prove to them they can do anything and to leave something for them.
For anyone who knows me or knows of my business outside of the post on Facebook will tell you from day 1 it’s not been about getting rich it’s been about putting back into the community offering a space where everyone is welcome and leaving people satisfied. From day 1 there has been discount in place for emergency service workers and many meals for staff at the local hospital have been donated free of charge as a gesture from me to acknowledge their hard work they do, in one post it’s made out I am some greedy guy out just to make money that couldn’t be further from fact. The money raised for charity since I opened both from customer donations and personal donations is all part of why I opened to give back.
We don’t always get it right and the important thing in my eyes is when you get it wrong hold your hands up and learn from it as not to make the same mistake in the future.
Life is short I never caused offence and again I apologise for any offence that was taken by the post earlier today, there were several comments deleted before I deleted the post they were only deleted due to fowl language within them.
My inbox is open for anyone who would like to clarify or ask anything regarding my stand or my earlier post.”

Got themselves into quite a pickle here
