Why I Fired Steve for What He Did on His Break?

I am often asked why I fired Steve for fooling around with that young hoochie mama during his break at the Double Deuce. The answer is simple. Whether you're a bartender, a bouncer or a server, you are representing the bar at all times. And screwing around on the job, even during your break, is a major no-no.

If I, Dalton, messed around with every female who wanted to fool around, while at work, I would never get any work done! It would be 8 hours of, er, you know what, each and every day. This is especially true in a town like Jasper, Missouri, where scandalous behavior runs rampant.

So firing Steve was an important management decision. You do the same, if anyone does what Steve did. Trust the Dalton on this one, folks.

I Run the Show Completely or People Die

This assertion is well-established. Either give me the keys to castle, or start counting the bodies pile up.

Fire First, Ask Questions Later

Always fire someone the first day you take control of a bar, right before you give your "it's my way or the highway" speech. It sets a good tone and lets the bad apples let you know that they're on their way out.
