Wet waiter: how the brewing scandal was resolved

The incident with the waiter who almost swam served the customers of a beach bar in Rhodes, the owner of the institution evaluates as a “single event”, noting that it was the choice of the employee himself – to receive a generous tip for such a playful trick.

Speaking on the channel OPEN, he said in part: “I have been in business for 27 years and have never had a single complaint. Everyone wants to work in my establishments because they know that I pay well and the working atmosphere is very good. Can an employee do something like this by force?

The beach bar owner continued, “He was my employee for five years. This is an isolated case. He did it to get his tips. This kid receives a salary of 3,000 euros per month, and if his client makes a large order, then, accordingly, he receives good money for a tip. The suit in which the waiter serves customers is waterproof. I know it video has been posted on a fake profile of a competitor who wanted to harm me and stigmatize (shame) my business.”

The attitude of the waiter to the inflamed bucha: “It doesn’t bother me, I get tip of 200 euros“.

Regarding the labor inspectorate that carried out the inspection, the business owner said: “10 inspectors came here in the afternoon and found that everything was legal, and the checks were carried out by the port and did not find any violations of the law. As for the side (extreme) tables, they are located so that you can freely approach them. The inspectors asked the workers do I make them go to seaand they replied that if someone does this sometimes, for fun, it is solely on their own initiative.

The Minister of Labor and Social Insurance, Adonis Georgiadis, also appeared on the OPEN program and reported on the incident: “I demanded an immediate inspection by the labor inspectorate. We sent a commission, which was already in place within 2 hours. No violations found. There is no such written (legislative) provision prohibiting such a service. But I want us to call a meeting in the ministry with representatives of tourism workers and discuss some issues. In addition, we are currently preparing a bill, and I want to see how we can provide decent working conditions for all workers.”

“I want to be clear. I want us to have tourism, but on the condition that the rights of workers are fully respected,” Adonis Georgiadis emphasized in conclusion.
