Auntie Anne's Pretzels

Auntie Anne's Pretzels F & F Pretzels, LLC. Owner fired the GM and DM for owner's screw up! Elverson, Pennsylvania

3rd of Nov, 2010 by User370077

On June 29th, my district manager and myself(the general manager) where fired by our franchisee/owner due to a screw up that our owner did. Long story shortened, there was a power outage for 12 hours in our store at the Elverson Walmart and all of the food spoiled and went bad and grew mold. The Auntie Anne's Corporate office(whom I've met everyone that works there and they are nice) instructed our owner to discard all of the food due to the possible health risks and contamination.
Well, our owner decided to try and pull a fast one over Auntie Anne's Corporate and keep the food and collect the insurance money. My district manager and myself could not believe that our owner was actually going to keep moldy food and sell it to people and risk people getting sick.
My district manager called Auntie Anne's Corporate and reported our owner for what he was doing. The district manager took pictures of everything and sent them to the corporate office. The corporate office was appalled and ordered that all of the food to be immediately thrown away. Well or owner found out that he was reported and tried to claim that we were lying when the corporate office had already seen the pictures and known of the issue. So our owner's brilliant idea was to FIRE the both of us for "knowing too much" and for refusing to sell spoiled and rotten food. Call my crazy, but I definitely think Auntie Anne's should pull the franchise license for this man!
