James Alexander might be the most arrogant man I have ever seen. Most certainly one of the most unprofessional. He is the manager at your location at Airport Rd, in Arden NC. I asked to speak with him somewhere discreetly after he fired my daughter. He said no, we could speak here, in front of sfaff and customer. My daughter can write here own complaint about the fair labor standard laws he broke daily, that she never called out but 2 times in her upcoming year there due to illness. Sh can tell you how they never got breaks, worked double shifts and how she though asked well in advance never had a weekend off. She can tell you that they basically had very different personalities and he just didn't like her. He had the attitude of a disgusted woman I am going to tell how he refused to produce any write ups he said he did for being tardy or anything she signed thereof. He told me there was nothing I could do to him. He owned that store and any disputes are handled by Darden internally, this after I told him I could seek outside council or contact the NC Labor board. Several of her co-workers have called since she left and said he was so glad she was gone, though the staff and customers loved her. They all speak ill of him but her fires only those that he seems to not like, nothing about the work. They all dislike him but people have to work. He is a gay man, yet has little respect for other diversity. My daughter was the only African American server in the restaurant. He does hire several of the LGBTQ population, but little racial diversity. He was so disrespectful to me coming into the restaurant around waiting customers and staff. I found that ridiculously unprofessional. I would be ashamed to have him represent the Olive Garden brand. I plan to continue complaining about him as well as leaving a review a day about that horrible frozen food and packaged salads. Disgruntled is the least of my feelings over his treatment of my daughter and his overall personality period. Marcia M. Bacoate 62 Bradley Branch Rd, Arden, North Carolina 28794 (828)-280-****
