Nightmarish Arizona Restaurant Has Some Of The Strictest Employee Rules We've Ever Seen
Here's the news story: Nightmarish Arizona Restaurant Has Some Of The Strictest Employee Rules We've Ever Seen - Yahoo! Finance
Here's the full letter: http://amradaronline.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/amyskitchencontract.pdf
Tips are the "property of the house," and don't go to the waitstaff.
Too strict, but not unfair. No one has to work there, though I'm not sure if "Employees must agree not to work for a competitor within 50 miles of the restaurant for a full year after they leave, or to open a similar business in the same radius." would actually be enforceable.
And as far as the tips go, if I was the wait staff, I'd just make sure to tell my customers not to leave a tip. I assume, of course, since tips are not being paid to the wait staff, the waiters/waitresses are being paid at least minimum wage (unlike in other restaurants).
No, it isn't. It's too strict for me to ever consider working there. But it's not unfair for them to have those rules.Your first sentence is contradictory.
Well that is just stupid. There is no reason to even work there.
No, it isn't. It's too strict for me to ever consider working there. But it's not unfair for them to have those rules.
If they're too strict... even just for you... then they're unfair... if only just for you.
Because people such as yourself like to put on airs that it's beneath them, then comment on it anyway.Why is this a story?
Completely agree.Do they tell their customers they confiscate tips?
Id have a piece of the owners asses if they don't and I found out.
I didnt tip the OWNERS.
Nonsense. Strictness and fairness have nothing to do with one another.
For example, I'm a teacher. When I'm lecturing, kids are not allowed to talk at all. Do some of those students find that strict? Yes. But it's not unfair, because it's a reasonable rule which provides the best learning environment possible.
Strictness and fairness are not the same thing.
Because people such as yourself like to put on airs that it's beneath them, then comment on it anyway.
Completely agree.
Loud and in front of as many other customers as possible.
Assholes...
Not to derail the thread, but I even have issues with servers "tipping out" other co-workers. Hostesses, bus people, bartenders, etc. First, that's not who I'm tipping. Second, bartenders get their own tips*. Third, none of those people has a direct influence on my dining experience like a server does. What happens behind the scenes is not my concern and I have no way of knowing if they earned a portion of my tip by doing a good job, or not.
*- In most places that do this, bartenders are not expected to reciprocate for food delivered to the bar, but some places do.
I know from friends that tipping out busboys is about quick table clearing/resetting and clean tables. Seems reasonable.
Not sure about bartenders.
Tip jars are another element, but I generally do 10% to a jar with no table service. You get fatter burritos!
Denied. Per your own words... "too strict".
Per my own words..."too strict for me". You are 100% wrong here. Just because I consider something to be too strict for me to desire it, that doesn't mean it's unfair.
Indeed, we feel exactly the same way. Whenever you learn the difference in the meanings of the words, then we can both be happier.Oh, geez! :roll:
It's been awhile since I have been in the restaurant industry, but when I was bus people got paid minimum wage while servers didn't. I'm presuming it's still the same as I don't believe bus people are officially or legally categorized as tipped employees (but don't quote me on that).
Not only are they strict or unfair, but a few of them are illegal.
lol, the crazy couple from Amy's Bakery... what utter nutjobs. Words cannot describe, just watch:
Do they tell their customers they confiscate tips?
What if...? said:Id have a piece of the owners asses if they don't and I found out.
I didnt tip the OWNERS.
