There is a thread over at Denny's about Charlie, the Omelet dude, getting fired! www.dennyp.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/111437/Charlie_fired_new_fans_in#Post111437I always thought he was one of the most revered members of the staff, up there with Delroy and Agustus. Apparently there is something that I don't know. The most interesting thing, to me, is how Denny himself seemed to want to kibosh the discussion about the demise of Charlie. He even locked the thread. (Not that he has never done anything like that before, but this seemed oddly reactionary, even for him). Do any of you recent visitors have any insights to share? I'm very curious!......Jake |

He stated why he shut it down, plus its his business board with his name on it and who needs the additional grief.

This must be a ruse by management to deflect questions and concerns about the excess banana situation.

I'm a believer in the "single banana theory" and todays technology supports it.

Word/rumor at Thankgiving was that he had a big fight with Nick the EC manager. Charlie apparently has his own fun making up names for some staff and guests. Heard Nick had no sense of humor about 'his' nickname when he overheard Charlie. None of this is verified and it could all be bunk but I did hear it from several people during our trip as the reason Charlie was delegated to the bowels of the kitchen.
Personally I think Charlie liked his Rum a wee bit too much. Art said he often reeked of Rum early in the morning.
I would not share this type of speculation on P's but I doubt this board is monitored by SuperClubs management.

Thanks for the insights, Anita. True or not, juicy rumors are always fun!

When we where there for the WWW we did not see him at all that week. We just heard that he was working in the kitchen.

OK, I just read through that thread and now have a new question: what is this "predicament" with Augustus to which DP is referring?

I don't spend much time over at Denny's these days, but I have to say I agree with him on this one. A disciplinary matter is between the employer and employee, and it can't be very nice to know people are publicly speculating on a message board about why you've lost your job or got busted down through the ranks, as Denny's conversation with Augustus has highlighted. And what if you are trying to get another resort job knowing your potential new employers in the area could be reading all the 'dirt' about you on a message board? All things considered I think Denny got it right.

I agree that the resort doesn't owe anyone an explanation. And I agree that Denny has the right to kibosh discussion about it on his message board.
But.... I still think our curiosity about it is normal and legit, and if we can suss out what happened, we would all be happier. As my mentor used to say, "the truth is always an option....."

I have to agree with Denny. It's no else business why Charlie was terminated except for the resort and Charlie.
If this was the grocery checker down at the local supermarket would anybody care?
