Any and all information given in this post has come from previous and current employees, and names have been left out or changed to protect them.
This place is an all around joke. The owners are criminals, and the employees are their victims.
Lets start with the first incident.
1) There was a manager. She was organized, she knew what she was talking about, and she was going to do great things for this company. Lets call her Alissa.
Bob and Bobbi, the owners of this disgusting establishment, decided to accuse her of stealing tips from the staff and money out of the drawer for a total of $300.
They fired her, and got all of the employees to turn against her. They told us she stole our money and skipped town. (Really? with $300?)
A few days later Alissa called one of the other employees who happened to be on shift. She told this employee that she does not know what they are talking about, the tips were under the cash drawer, where she had tried to tell Bobbi (three days prior) to look. As two employees picked up the drawer, they were surprised to find the tips, in full, where Alissa had told them they were.
Bob's story was that Alissa had found out they knew the $300 was stolen, snuck in during the middle of the night (she had a key) and replaced them. Thats when another employee pointed out that was physically impossible, as Alissa was out of state at the time.
Bob's story quickly changed. He told the employees that Alissa and another employee (we will call him Tim) had partnered together to steal the $300. upon discovering that they had been caught, Alissa sent Tim in with the money to slip it under the drawer so she could text Bobbi and tell her she never stole it.
Except it was discovered before Tim ever came in.
Now we will move on to incident two. After firing their manager, Bob and Bobbi were forced to replace her. So they put a 19 year old full time college student in her place, and worked her until she was ready to drop. eventually she got tired of them and quit, but not before revealing to another employee that she received a $600 (as Bob calls it) "cash advance" that he gave to her as (what she recalls) "a gift for her hard work." Bob illegally deducted $300 from her paycheck, as she had paid him back the other $300 beforehand.
all in all, there have been (i believe) 7 or 8 employees that have been accused of stealing from Bob. Funny, since half of them haven't been paid their paychecks I dont really see it as stealing. Not to mention they are forced to pay for any drinks they get so in all reality they are paying him to work there.
One employee was actually fired for forgetting to pay for a drink. Bob continues to slander her name by saying she stole a $20 every time she went to get a customer change. funny- because stealing that much money everytime she went in the register would total up to a pretty sizeable amount by the end of the day- and one employee told me that when the drawer is short- its no more than $30.
Now lets get into the health codes they are breaking, shall we?
1) the ice cream machine they use for their frozen drinks was not cleaned for the first 3.5 weeks of being opened. One employee was quoted saying the girl who cleaned the machine had to "pick chunks of old milk off, and out of, the machine."
And they are serving this to customers?
2) the ice scoops are stored in nasty coolers with the ice they put in your drink. while this may not seem like a big deal, please note that the ice scoop often slips under the ice, in which case the employee must stick their hand in your ice to get it out. Gross. Why dont they just put the ice cubes in your drink with their hands then and forget about the scoops?
3) All of you who wrote a review saying your coffee was gross? It was rancid. Bob doesnt like to be wasteful. several employees told me that the coffee grounds that land on the counter are scooped up into a bin and reused. Bob, did you know ground coffee begins to go stale after 40 seconds? And should go no longer than 15 minutes? maybe not since you forced your employees to use ground coffee that was sitting open on a shelf next to the bathroom for two weeks. gross.
4) the steam wands they use to make your coffee are cleaned with bleach rags. to make things worse, those same rags usually cleaned the counter first.
5) One employee refused to serve anyone whip cream one day. when i asked the employee why, they said because it is expired. Bob later yelled at the employee telling them nothing is expired until 10 days after the EXPIRATION date.
6) Cleaners were stored on the same shelfs as syrups until an employee freaked out and moved them.
7) There is a barista with waist length hair here, her hair often touches your coffee. enjoy. read more
