Brixx Wood Fired Pizza waitress Ashley Johnson was pretty fired up about the couple that lingered three hours over lunch, made her work an hour past her quitting time – and then left her only a $5 tip. So Johnson, 22, did the 21st century equivalent of griping to the kitchen staff (or the bartender down the street): She vented on Facebook. "Thanks for eating at Brixx," she wrote, "you cheap piece of ---- camper." (For the record, the $5 tip was 17 percent of the customers' bill.) Within 48 hours, her managers came calling. They showed her a copy of her Facebook comments and fired her for breaking company policy forbidding insulting customers. A Brixx official told the Charlotte Observer she also violated a second company policy: Speaking ill about the company on social networks. According to the company, Johnson signed her agreement to these policies when she was hired. Johnson told the Observer she apologized to Brixx – a 12-year-old company with 13 restaurants in three states – for using bad judgment. "It was my own fault," she said. "I did write the message. But I had no idea that something that, to me is very small, could result in my losing my job." How did Brixx find out about Johnson's Facebook posting? Brixx isn't saying – and Johnson can't pinpoint the leak. She has about 100 Facebook friends (mostly high school and college friends) but her page is private and she says she doesn't add people she doesn't know to her network. Brixx partner Jeff Van Dyke said he wasn't sure how the company learned of Johnson's indiscretions. "It's just like high school students posting stuff on their social networking sites and thinking it's not going to get back to their parents," he said. "But somehow, it does." When negative comments about the company started appearing on Facebook, Brixx promptly posted a statement on its page: "Brixx appreciates your feedback! Please know we value our employees very much, which is why we are one of the few small restaurant companies that offers benefits. Brixx also values our customers and has a policy against making negative remarks about them." Brixx's firing may be legal – and has its sympathizers – but the company is taking a PR hit: The postings on the company's page and on online versions of the story are overwhelmingly negative. Lots of companies have policies banning panning the business on social media, but should you force employees never to speak the company's name on those platforms? That's going too far, says Scott Baitinger, owner of Streetza Pizza, whose business is largely driven by social media. "You need the [employee] to be a representation of your brand, if you hired them," Baitinger, author of "Twitterworks, Restaurant 2.0 edition," which offers social media advice to business owners, told Restaurant News. "So social media is just an extension of the entire customer service experience." Would Baitinger have fired Johnson? "Probably not,' he answered. 'I probably would have had her deal with it on her personal space differently." Biggest Loser's Ashley Johnston On Life After Losing 183 Pounds. If you're a fan of NBC's "The Biggest Loser," you know Ashley Johnston lost more weight than any female contestant in the history of the reality weight-loss show. Even if you're no fan of reality TV, you have to admit that losing 183 pounds as Johnston did is nothing short of remarkable. I'll be honest and admit that I have lots of reservations about weight-loss competitions, televised or otherwise. And yet, I was impressed by Johnston's dramatic success. Primarily, because it's a rare day when anyone loses almost half her body weight, or 48.93 percent to be exact. (Johnston lost season 9 to Michael Ventrella, who lost 50.19 percent. In other words, she lost by 1.26 percent or four pounds.) To be perfectly honest, I'd never heard of the season 9 runner-up until she mentioned my new book on Facebook: "I am learning to have more self-compassion from reading the book The Self-Compassion Diet ,'" she wrote. "I soo recommend it!" After reading her Facebook page, my inquiring mind wanted to know more about this striking blonde with the sapphire blue eyes. I especially wanted to know about her weight-loss journey. If you've been following my profiles in self-compassion on this blog, you can probably guess what happened next. I tracked down the Tennessee transplant in California, and we got to chatting long-distance about her life before and after "The Biggest Loser." What follows are 10 things your inquiring mind undoubtedly wants to know about the reality TV star turned motivational speaker. 1. Johnston not only lost big-time, she found true love. Remember at-home-winner Koli Palu, the season 9 contestant who lost more than the other eliminated contestants? That's who Johnston started dating after the show ended. After doing the long-distance relationship thing, the young couple figured that if they ever hoped to live in wedded bliss, they should at least try living in the same town. Long story short, they're now living together in Santa Rosa, California. 2. Johnston was small for her age until age six, when she was diagnosed with sleep apnea. At which point, her tonsils and adenoids were removed, her breathing improved, her appetite increased and before she knew it, she was a chubby kid. And yet, her weight didn't become a real concern until she turned sweet 16, and her dad was diagnosed with melanoma. "He was sick and in a lot of pain," she explains in the sweetest southern drawl, "and I didn't know how to cope. So I ran from it -- drinking heavily, eating fast food, staying out late -- and I gained weight rapidly." 3. One reason Ashley and her mom Sherry teamed up for "The Biggest Loser": To find closure on the death of Ashley's dad and Sherry's husband. "My dad was hard on me about my weight," Ashley says. "He knew it was hard for me to be made fun of [by the other kids], but he didn't express it the right way. It came out hurtful," she adds. While she never had the chance to forgive her dad before he died, she got the opportunity on the show. 4. Like so many dieters, Johnston had tried everything and nothing worked. She'd tried Atkin's, Alli (the diet pill), Weight Watchers and going vegan. "I'd only kept gaining my whole life," she says. If Johnston hadn't made the cut for season 9, she probably would have kept the appointment she'd scheduled for "those diet pills that jack your heart rate up." She says, "I knew they were dangerous, but I was just that desperate to change." 5. Falling off the treadmill on day one wasn't easy, but the hardest part was putting on a sports bra for the first weigh-in. "It was very scary for both my mom and I," says Johnston. "But, in my mind, I'd hit rock bottom. If I have to show the world what I'm most afraid of, I told myself: 'I'll show you. I guarantee you won't see me like this again.'" 6. More than getting physical, the secret to Johnston's success is doing "mental work." "I did a lot of mental work," Johnston says of her frequent heart-to-hearts with trainer Jillian Michaels and her weekly consults with psychologist Sean Hogan.
