#one of my coworkers complained in our store’s gc about how we are already paid shit#we didn’t receive wage increases when they raised our service prices#& bc of the prices going up our tips have been suffering#she didn’t say this but we’ve also been slower than usual everywhere bc of the rising cost of living everywhere#so we genuinely aren’t getting paid the same prior to the price increase#but they’re now forcing us to take unpaid breaks even though this store is a slow store and we have a lot of down time#and taking unpaid breaks is going to descrease our paychecks which we get shit on those#and the fucking gm goes well thats just state law sweetie#she literally said sweetie and i’m like excuse me but this is not the time to be calling anyone sweetie#that is so fucking disheartening to be called sweetie in a labor complaint situatio#and my coworker goes literally show me where it says that and also the rest is true you know it’s true#and gm gets on a call w my coworker bc she’s not discussing this in a work gc#so i’m immediately texting my coworker like gm is full of shit on the law#bc in our state it’s not required for adults to take a break nor does the fed government require it#i already knew this from before but it was confirmed when i had a chapter on employee law this semester#and my coworker is fucking right we get paid shit for work that our owners cannot legally do bc they don’t have a hair license!!!#my paychecks have significantly decreased since the start of the year !!! i’m making a significant amount less than i had determined#when i stepped down!!!#i’m literally barely keeping my head above water!!! and it doesn’t help the stress in any aspect of my life!!!#but they don’t care!!! i’m 6 years into my chosen career and i’m not making shit!!! i’m barely making ends meet!!!!#if i didn’t live w my mom id be fucking homeless again like be so fucking for real rn#anyway my coworker is having a sit down w the gm and one of the owners tomorrow and we both know it’s not gonna change anything#coworker’s only regret is not doing it in the general chat so it would’ve been harder to ignore but at least she said something

i was venting to my work bestie about last night and my gm was like madalyn...if something crazy happens when i'm not here you can tell me. (i was planning to bring it up but he beat me to it).
this is kinda gross so read more teehee
basically, we had four closers. two of which do not do anything. and i mean anything. and i knew i was in for it then. around midnight a woman got up from the bar and walked to the bathroom and on her way there she started vomiting. she vomited on the carpet, into the bathroom, and then eventually into a toilet. for a while. this woman puked her guts out. the volumes had been cut at this point and closing manager told them that one of them needed to clean it up before they left, and none of them were going to do it. i don't blame them because neither am i. i will not budge on the fact that while working as a server, i will not clean up puke or blood or shit. pretty sure you need ppe and can't be forced to clean up biohazards like that in general but whatever haha what job doesn't have some sort of labor violation! :) restaurant workers need unions fr. the bartender ended up doing it which he should NOT have had to do! the closing manager even said we needed to THANK HIM FOR DOING THAT! um why can't you do that? why are you, as a manager, asking your SERVING STAFF to clean up a mess that you won't?but the other issues of the evening were me and this other guy were the only people who do our jobs so i kept getting tables because other people couldn't handle it. we have the bar floor and the main dining room and me and the other good server had the bar floor while the other servers split the main dining area. at like 1 the dishes are piled up and i start doing some (no dishwasher!) and the server who is literally so lazy and bitchy was like oh i'm taking care of the dishes. and i was like whatever. i end up sweeping my section, mopping the entire bar floor, and then bussing half of the dining room, sweeping, and vacuuming bc the other server who wanted to do the dishes so badly left her section a mess. in the back, i swept and cleaned up other messes like all of the food people left behind. oh, and, the best part? the woman who wanted to do the dishes soooo badly hadn't made any progress. so i just take over. and she didn't even clean out the tea urns and soda fountain shit and then she didn't even like spray out the dishwasher. while me and this other guy are trying to get the hell out of here, the other guy who doesn't do shit hid in the corner on his phone and the other server went outside with her boh fwb to SMOKE. they're outside giggling with the door cracked while we're busting our asses. the closing manager made the decision to close the kitchen when they called last call (usually something we don't do i don't think she got permission but w/e it didn't matter bc no one came in) so like we started fr closing at 1:15. i did not clock out until 3:32 am. usually when i close i'm talking with my coworkers, we joke, complain, etc. but i wasn't even mad just frustrated and i was silent the entire time. drove home in complete silence. anyways gm said that he is meeting with the managers to discuss the fact that they aren't doing their jobs and are treating the staff like this and i don't expect much but maybe them realizing that they too have a boss they're only like one rung higher on the later will do something. or the worst offenders will quit
