Bitch, $864 a MONTH won't pay my rent. Also, if free drinks cost you $864 a year, you're either overpaying for for soda fountain, or that's an absolutely absurd amount of free drinks. Soda fountains print money...
$864 a year isn't how much the business pays for the soda, it's how much they charge the customer. These creeps think consider a lost sale to be lost money.
They're entitled to your money after all. They took all the risk
They spelunked deep into the soda syrup mines and risk their lives to bring you tasty treats. And all they ask in return is that you STAY OFF YOUR CELL PHONES
LMAO soda is like the cheapest, most overpriced item on a lot of menus. It's a few pennies of syrup and soda water.
Why not let your workers eat if it's going to go to waste anyway?
Small business tyrants and general managers are the worst.
Aw beans, you're going to be really upset when you find out what they did to vineyard grapes in that era. You might even get wrathful.
They’re using opportunity cost. That soda could have been sold at full market. Either that or they’re just going out and buying pallets of two liters lmao
They're saying that giving out free things to customers is the same thing as making them buy less which is so obviously, comically, not true. Giving free shit to regulars every once in a while increases tips and loyalty. Giving them something for free that they weren't going to buy anyway is like the easiest way to keep a regular a regular.
I once worked at a local bar / restaurant chain that would also nickel and dime their employees for everything.
They would supply you exactly one shirt, which was required since you couldn't wear your own shirts, and you had to buy addition shirts if you wanted them.
Same thing with your name tag, so if you lost it you had to buy another one. My just got so naturally degraded a manager insisted I had to buy a new one but I refused, it led to a huge argument and eventually she ceded the name tag but the damage was done. The cost of this name tag? A single dollar. Imagine literally dying on that hill as a manager making 35k a year working 60-70 hour weeks.
I also tried to unionize my local McDonald's at 16 I passed around a worker bill of rights, and of course I was fired. Although honestly for just cause not unionization, to be fair was a terrible employee at every opportunity.
That's normal from my experience working in places with name tags and uniforms.
I once had a manager fucking pull me in the office to tell me I had b.o.
I was like dude I'm working 6 days a week and you gave me one shirt, I can't hit the coin laundry every single night on minimum wage, and that was basically the end of the conversation. Didn't even give me a new shirt, just a warning about hygiene. It was nuts.
I quit soon after.
The next job I got tried to do the same thing, at least the part of only giving one shirt for 5-6 day work week didn't do the whole passive aggressive shaming stuff right away, but they eventually ceded in giving me three whole shirts.
Absolutely crazy shit.
People saying fuck work anymore has given me a little bit of life and hope. I really pray it goes somewhere.
I mean, that's totally understandable, even the most successful businesses in America are only a few dollars per year off from bankruptcy and thousands of job losses, that's why we can't raise the minimum wage something something subsidize bla bla bla basic economics
If I didn’t squeeze your labor, I’d have to squeeze my profits. Understand now, commie?
"Sure, I decided to stockpile on all the armor because I NEEED STUFFF! But let's have our squishy wizard take all the hits. Better him than me, right?"
Sometimes I wish there was a mafia running a union for this. Not because it would be efficient or good or anything, but because it would be ruthless
Worked at a bar once. I have a hobby of cocktail making and had experience in customer service but got stuck dishwashing because they only allowed women to bartend/be servers. I know this isn't a great deal for women either, but bartending could have gotten me some decent tips.
As a dishwasher, I had to double as a cold cook and even do some work as a hot cook if any of the other cooks stepped out for whatever reason.
The restaurant owner took himself WAY too seriously, although the former one was more chill and didn't gaf if I was on my phone and had no other tasks. This one was known for chewing people out.
I kinda became the "go-to" employee so I got called in A LOT. It taught me a lesson in the workforce: hard work is not guaranteed to reward you, and can even punish you sometimes. Do just about medium, and oversell it. Not too much that you get more work, but not too little that you're on the chopping block for being fired.
Moral of the story? Working for a restaurant sucks and kudos to restaurant workers.
if free drinks cost you $864 a year, you’re either overpaying for for soda fountain, or that’s an absolutely absurd amount of free drinks.
Probably loss of profit not actual cost to the business
Free drinks is just part of working in the back of a restaurant- insinuating that drinks COST the retail price tells me that this boss has DEEP brainworms (other than this insane whiteboard shit). soda and stuff is so cheap as to basically be free, and they make a mint off of it, give it to the staff for free.
Shit like this always reads as someone who owns restaurants, but has never worked in a restaurant. When you are in food service from the bottom up, you typically understand what actually makes a restaurant work, versus what makes the most money. Every shitty kitchen I've worked in was managed by profit-seekers, every good kitchen by someone who started washing dishes.
I just want to know why Annette's name is there. Is she claiming credit for that complex quantitative analysis?
