DEPEW, N.Y. (WIVB) - A former employee at the Taco Bell / KFC at Transit and Losson Roads in Depew chose to make a bold statement when he decided to leave his position at the restaurant.

The employee left a message on the fast food restaurant's exterior sign Thursday night announcing he had quit. The sign reads, "I quit - Adam / **** you :)"

A co-worker of the supposed sign maker at Taco Bell / KFC tells News 4 that Adam is a shift manager at the restaurant who was denied time-off on the Fourth of July.

Adam claims he had worked 22 straight days and deserved the holiday off but was not granted it, despite the fact that other employees were allowed to take the day off.

3. Good for him.....
Twenty-two days straight is too much. I know that shift manager's frequently take up the slack when an employee doesn't show up. One can only take so much abuse.

4. Maybe that's what they were hoping for. If he was a good
employee and really deserved the time off you'd hope they would give it to him. If he really worked 22 straight days and asked for the time off far enough ahead that would sure seem unreasonable.

If they are really so understaffed that they can't let a shift manager off for one day they have problems. If he was a problem and needed to be gone, keeping him on shift all those days wouldn't be helping the situation either.

Sounds like whoever the owner/s are need to check things out or may be the ones screwing things up in the first place.

5. With today's unemployment numbers....
I am sure they think he is a replaceable widget.

7. Adam, like Taco Bell, thinks outside the box.
Good for you, Adam
