A truck driver who stated that he constantly ate at Köfteci Yusuf made striking claims about some customers' behavior toward employees. Alleging that female employees were subjected to verbal harassment and insults, the driver reacted with the words, "No matter how much you pay the bill, you are not buying the people there with the money you give."
A truck driver who stated that he is a frequent customer of Köfteci Yusuf, which has branches in many parts of Turkey, criticized certain behaviors toward restaurant employees. Claiming that female employees in particular are subjected to mistreatment by some customers, the driver reacted by recounting the incidents he encountered.
"Would You Call Them Someone Who Harasses the Girl, or Someone Who Swears?"
The truck driver claimed that some customers in restaurants treat employees rudely when placing orders and requesting service. Recounting his experiences, the driver used the following statements: "Bro, something caught my attention at Köfteci Yusuf—look, as truck drivers we go there constantly; I'm sure these employees must be fed up with this job. The man is going to order his food, but talks like an ox; he eats his food and will order tea, talking like an animal. There are girl employees; the other day I came across it—would you call them someone harassing the girl, or someone swearing at the girl? Bro, why do you do this?"
"Your Wife or Daughter Could Also Work There"
Emphasizing that behaviors toward female employees are unacceptable, the driver stated that customers should treat the people in front of them with respect. The driver expressed his reaction, saying, "Hey, your wife or daughter could also work there. Damn it, forget all that—I mean, even when there is a woman in front of you, you can't say this to a man either, so why do you talk in this kind of foul language?"
"With the Money You Pay..."
Saying that paying the bill at a restaurant does not give anyone the right to mistreat employees, the truck driver continued: "There, you pay a bill of 300 lira, 200, 500, whatever. Damn it, forget it—even if you pay a 10 billion bill. No matter how much you pay, you are not buying the people there with the money you pay."
"They Also Work Hard and Earn Money"
Reminding that employees also work hard to make a living, the driver concluded his explanation with the words, "Just as you work hard in your truck and earn money, the people in front of you also come there to work hard and earn money." No information was provided, however, about which branch the incidents that were the subject of the truck driver's claims occurred in.
