Hi all thank you for the feedback... I just think I am more frustrated about how they went about it and how small silly thing it was... I reviewed the cameras again and everyone was out for an whole hour and half already it was only the three of my staff members cleaning and closing up... till the two friends came in to pick up the one! Its like Trev says the attitude stinks, A. spoke yesterday again to my barman and he said the police said he must get out of the establishment... what the hec your own staff that worked 10 hour shift, gets told to get out of his own workplace!!!! and if you resist you get arrested!!! B. my manageress was told she is not even allowed to call me in regards to the matter at that point! C. at the police station I try to tell the arresting officer that he is not a patron but my employee, and i get told he is not talking to me but to my mangeress... hmmm I thought im the owner? lol the funny thing is the charge on the paper says: Only for allowing patrons on the premises after hours? I cant agree to it as thats not the case! But James you right will just stick to rules... as to Fridays matter, I guess one can just laugh about it! Regards
