I am currently employed at a restaurant as a waiter/busboy, but I am most certainly going to quit in the next 3-4 weeks. here are the many reasons for quiting and reporting them:
1. i get paid $6.25/hour, while min wage is $6.75/hour.
2. there already too many waiters, so i rarely get any time waiting tables. that or it's too slow and the owner will wait them himself and keep the tips.
3. owners (brothers) are cheap, cheap, cheap. trust me on this, it's horrible. they lock up most of the supplies, such as towels, aprons, books (to write down orders), and el cheapo alcohol. that's not all, that's just a very small part of it.
4. someone orders merlet and we're out, boss says to give them any red wine. same goes for white wines. we have a decent wine list, but that's not what we serve, we serve el cheapo wine from 5 liter boxes or gallon jugs which the boss buys.
5. owners are always trying to cheat employees by miscalculating hours worked on payday.
6. we get paid cash, that means no reportable income to the IRS = assraping.
7. they fired the dishwasher, who's brothers were the head chef and the food prepper. the food probably will not taste as good, meaning less customers and less tips.
8. we now have a hispanic kid, maybe 15 years old, as a dishwasher. don't know how that'll pan out, but they'll probably under pay him, and work him more than is legal under child labor laws.
9. they withheld a full weeks pay from an employee due to the training she received, which is ridiculous and quite illegal.
10. when it's busy as fvck and we need help, owners hardly ever help out. they sit on their fatasses and watch us like we're going to steal something.
i know everything is disorganized, but i don't care. i just got home from work and just felt like venting my frustrations
. also, i won't name my place of work because one of you might know the owners and snitch on me however, i will say that we have some damned good authentic italian cuisine!
ohh, here's a few links:
