NT, WOULD YOU WORK HERE?... UPDATED WITH PIC

If you make anything less than mandated by law, you can report your employer to your state Labor & Industries Office and they will act very swiftly. Doesn't cost you a dime. That's what that office is there for.

Btw, that restaurant job can lead to other jobs in the industry, so tough it out. I know people who started at the equivalent of Red Robin. Once they figured out how to make drinks, they moved on to nightclubs and were pulling in a couple grand a week.

Agreed.
Dealing with people for more than 5 hours, running around and serving them their food and probably getting a few complaints is not something I would look forward to dealing with. Takes a lot of patience that I, unfortunately, don't have after about 1 hour of being socially active.

you don't have to be social.  i work in fine dining.  you just have to know the menu but no one is trying to get to know you and all that.  they just want their food and to know some details about it.  i'm not that social either with strangers but it's really not that bad.

you do get some grade a %%*@% though.  but that's when you just call your manager and let them take over for the rest of the meal.

11 or 12 hours and $56.....helllllll no. This reminds me of when I watch those jail shows on National Geographic and the guys in jail get paid like $8 a month.

If you don't get house pay then yea you need to dump that place.

Find a better restaurant, I rather work in the restaurant industry than retail because at a restaurant I can make 250$ in one night, where in retail that would take me a week to make.


Plus restaurants are fun as hell after you've closed and cleaned up.

Getting high and drunk in the basement after work is the norm for NYC restaurants.
