So last night we were super busy, and the place I work at, the bar isn’t the main focus, Nor is the food. But I work in the bar/food department. My lead, who was in the food department asked a manager if we can close the kitchen while he went on his break and was told yes. This place is super stick with breaks, if you miss your time by a minute you get in trouble. So it’s not like my lead had a choice to miss his break, and breaks are WELL deserved. So one manager told us yes, and another ended up buying food right before we closed the food, and he also started telling the customers behind him that we were closing for 30min.
So yeah, my lead leaves on his break and me (I’m on my third week bartending, I haven’t done everything yet but I’m somewhat comfortable on my own. But not completely, and especially not on a extremely busy night.) When my lead left, it was only me, another new girl who started a week ago and one other girl who has been there for a few months. We were all dealing with the bar line, the another manager comes over and yelled at the other two girls wot go to food and she’ll help with the bar.
After my lead got back from his break, the last manager told him that we are no longer allowed tips until we “get our act together” and “stop closing early” when literally we got permission from two different managers. So wtf.
ETA: I already put my two weeks in(bc I got a better job offer) so my last day is coming up, I just wanted to rant about this bullshit.
