Support HONEST local businesses....
i actually came here a few days ago and ....i just want the employees to know...that i read about the article with a server there who won his money. my guess is there were many more like this.. theres no way only one server was scammed! i think its very disgusting that ppl will still go there knowing that the very tips you leave on the table dont always make it to the waitstaff.....instead to management or the owners????? Im a professional and we are working with state gov't to look more into this.... but for the waiters there.... there are ways of getting every penny that they have taken from you... Trust me , i do know that they take their employees money. and then smile to us as we step through the door. quite creepy if you think about it. you own a busy diner yet you're taking dollars and cents from your hourly employees. God bless the man who did sue. i do not know what the rest of you are doing. but wake up it was apparently true. lets face it nobody would just cough up 60 thousand to make a case go away that was baseless... nobody.
i just hope soon that this comes to light and people there have the courage to stand up for each other. this is not an isolated incident , this happens at many diners across the tri state area..they all have this same sad story about tip misappropriation and hourly wages being screwed around with. PUT YOUR HEADS TOGETHER and hold them responsible. i spoke to the young man that sued and he made a very strong point over the phone.... and ill leave you with his words......
" the point is this (uses my name).... Had i , at any point, walked into that diner one day before work, and realized that the office was open, yet unoccupied and say i noticed that safe was also left opened or dollars piled on their desk.. had i taken my bag and filled it say with 60k, actually lets say 20k,10k, or even a measley 1000 dollars. i wouldnt be here on the phone speaking to you, and they certainly wouldnt be saying egh its okay, no biggie. i would probably be sitting in prison somewhere . unfortunately, thats not what happens with small/big business owners. instead , you have to take them to civil court. according to the law , when they break it, they arent criminals its a civil dispute..How crazy? but if i had stolen money from them? my entire record would be tarnished, rightfully so. id be doing prison time, and looked at like a piece of crap. and rightfully so to that as well. but the tables are turned and they have done it..so public opinion is what exactly here? .... theyre excused, theyre forgiven. only until it happens to them. check your bill when you leave, it just might. read more
