I work at Sonic, so there’s lots of teens that work there, with the youngest people being 15. I’m 18 so I’m an adult and I work during the mornings/day. This Sonic is extremely close to my house, it’s less than a three minute walk and I live in town homes so I basically consider it part of my neighborhood. 

There was this new manager there that no one liked, she was rude and condescending to all the other employees. Another manager claimed she saw her smoking meth in her car in the parking lot. The girl already had previous trouble with heroin and lost custody of one her her kids because of it. 

One morning she came to work high on something, she was completely gray and vomiting everywhere and she could barely stand up. She slept through her whole shift and we notified the GM and he didn’t care. He didn’t think it was a big deal that she was high on hard drugs at work and doing them in the parking lot. 

On Saturday she was supposed to open but never showed up, the GM was unconcerned and so I notified the store supervisor about her drug use and she came in and fired the meth head on the spot. 

The GM was very upset with me, and so was the assistant manager. I told them I was thinking of all the 15 and 16 year olds that work at sonic and I didn’t want them to exposed to that kind of drug use. Sonic is also really close to my house and I live in a good neighborhood and I really didn’t want a meth user near it honestly. There’s lots of young kids and couples in my neighborhood. 

They told me the meth head got evicted from her house and lost custody of her other kid and they feel like I’m kicking her when she’s down. They were so upset that they suspended me from work for a week (it’s okay though because I was already quitting). I didn’t know she got evicted or lost custody before I reported her and now I feel kind of bad. I still feel like she shouldn’t have been working high though. Who’s the asshole?
