The message I'm posting is how the head manager deals with teenage staff.
This message is going to FOH and BOH so some might not apply to you but I'm not typing this twice.
I'm pissed. I think you all have this idea that my hands are tied and you can fuck up cause I need the bodies for the summer but if I close this place down, it's Ravi's money I'm fucking with and all of yours. I get abused in this role and the only reason I do it is because my conscience can't handle everyone being unemployed because of my decisions. I think you are all testing boundaries cause what am I going to do about it right?
That's a mistake cause I'm such a spiteful human. I will sink my ship to sink the people pissing me off with no regrets so here's how this is going to go from now on.
I know someone is stealing wine and I know who it is, I know someone is serving underage and I know who that is, I know things are being taken and not wrung in, I know hours are being lied about. I know everyone has complaints meanwhile I let a lot of shit slide. I know some of you like to have attitudes with other employees. I know most of you are kids and do stupid shit but this is a job. I expect better and now I demand it. My kindness is over. Toward everyone.
If you are in the kitchen, I don't want to hear about late hours when you spend the shift on the stairs instead of cleaning and doing dish and stocking and then you are there 2 hours past closing cause you decided to do that. You get a 15 min break and a meal break. If you don't take it fine. I put it in and add the hours back. If you want to take it then take it and I won't put the hours back. So now you get 15 mins each to sit on the stairs and besides that find something to clean when it's slow. Don't act like there's not a lot to do.
FOH same breaks go for you, besides that find something to clean or stock, you can stand around for your 15 min break too but that's it.
None of you can have any soda that isn't fountain soda. If you do it will come out of your pay. I have a crazy insane inventory going on with the beer wine and liquor for a few weeks since I noticed things missing, if more is gone it will be docked from your pay.
None of the things I'm saying is different than any other job, I've been kind but I wont be taken advantage of.
If you can't work a shift I expect the callout to go to me not other employees. That's the bare minimum for respect.
If I hear or see anyone serving anyone underage from here on out you will be fired publicly on the spot. If you decide I'm a bitch for these rules and that screw it you will do what you want because you think I won't fire you and cut back on hours or close this whole damn place, try me! Challenges bring me joy. read more
