I work as a server in a big corporate name restaurant. Saturday, around 2:15pm I had a table of 3, mom, dad and teenage son. I greeted them and asked what everyone wanted to drink. Each person ordered a coke. I brought out the drinks and then took appetizer orders. After the appetizers and entrees were out, I automatically brought out 3 more cokes for everyone. I asked how everything was. At that point, the women said it was great and then ordered a bahama mama. I did not ID her since it was apparent she was in her 40s or 50s. I sent the order to the bartender who made the drink and then I brought it out to the woman. Everyone at the tables proceded to eat and I left them alone. When I came back, everyone was done eating and cheerful. Said it was great and left me a 22% tip. 2hrs later, the woman called the restaurant and told the general manager I served her 15yrold son alcohol. I did no such thing, I served the woman alcohol. My manager took me off the floor in the middle of a 2hr wait and brought me in the office. Im now under investigation and suspended until further notice. I dont know know if im fired yet or not, but I'm still losing lots of money by being suspended. I've worked at this restaurant for over a year and have had no problems, no write ups and I don't call off. I'm am extremely hard worker and have never had to deal with anything or anyone like this before. Can I take any kind of action here? Against the restaurant if I'm fired or against the woman for defamation of my name and character, being suspending and possibly fired? What can I do?
