Here someone places a complaint about a poorly demeanored bartender, not knowing about her illness. however exactly why should he care? Seriously. It isn't his problem that she is sick. It isn't his problem if she does or does not have health insurance. He is out to eat and have a good time while spending his money. He expects to have a good service. But it is actually his right to do so. She took away that right, by not treating him with courteousness. I don't care who has what, and I don't care at what establishment I eat at. If someone walked up to me and grabbed my menus, and said "Guess your out of luck" I'd rant to the world not to ever go there as well. Example, I eat at the Village Kitchen. Should I now ask the server or the cook if they have cancer first, so I know if they are in a pissy mood or not? No they are ALWAYS polite there. It is why I eat there up to three times a week. Prime Rib night, always. Brunch on Sunday. Always. I'm with the thread starter on this one. Yeah sorry she is ill and I hope she does well with treatment if this is the case. But she should never bring her problems to work. Bad for her and bad for business. If the place were to fall down and close because of her, how would that help her income. Both my parents died of cancer. Mother Pancreatic, Father Liver/colon cancer. So don't get me wrong. It is a nasty illness for everyone involved, but both of my parents maintained their dignity when dealing with life and other people. If I ever get sick like that, I can only hope that I can use them as my example. So say what you will, the Pine Cone should address this issue if they know about it. It is their responsibility to their paying customers.

Your right. Nobody should bring their woes to work, no matter what...especially in that type of position where your dealing with daily customers. I also know plenty of people that have had cancer and just recently had someone close to me die of this dreaded disease. But she never let anyone know how painful it was or wanted people to feel bad for her.
