Ah well I definitely agree to that
That job was an "in between" job while I was attending graduate school. I hope NEVER to work in a job again that has ANYTHING to do with the "hospitality" industry, ESPECIALLY a night-shift job. In the year I worked there, there were 2 drug busts, a "gang" rape, an attempted suicide with a handgun, several "shots fired" incidents, and more bar fights than I care to remember. I was assaulted once by a drunken redneck woman, and had a shot fired into the air in the parking lot after I told some hooligans to quiet down at 3am (I wasn't carrying that time--before I got my permit). I wouldn't take that job again--or one like it--for TEN TIMES what I was getting paid, unless I could OC, and had a signed consent agreement to do so from the owner...
The owner knew I carried. The site manager knew I carried. The local PD, Sheriff's department, and ALE agent knew I carried (I had to "notify" them a few times, when they reported for other "incidents" and wanted to talk to me about anything I'd seen.)
This business is a franchise, and the employees handbook didn't say anything about it...
It was never an issue whole I worked there. I can't see how it would be an issue now, ESPECIALLY since I never intend to use that job as a "reference".
And anyway, "Winston Smith" is a pseudonym, and there is nothing in that profile that identifies me...
