I work at a restaurant/bar. No big chains, the guy who owns us owns like 4 other bars/clubs. I am one of two servers who work regularly. We used to get unofficial staff meals, we're a tapas bar so one of the tapas or our burger, but no paella or ribeyes. But we just got the decree that they're cracking down on that and if we want anything we have to pay but we have a 25% discount. There's a lot wrong but for starters, everything on our menu is so damn expensive, with the discount our chips and salsa are $8. But incase that wasn't bad enough, our GM and his partner regularly eat there and have there friends over for free. I'm pretty sure our GM told our floor manager the rule yesterday whilst I servered them both a lot of free food, and then the GM helped himself to several beers. The GM sucks in a lot of ways mostly in that he only has the job cus he's best friends with the owner, who is in his mid20's, bought earlier stated clubs and bars with daddy's money, drives a tesla and I believe is in aspen atm. I was kinda counting on those staff meals as my food for those days and our security guards and bartenders work long hours and need the fuel, but capitalists need line go up so
