[QUOTE="Niks97cobra, post: 8554639, member: 33075"] I've spent much more than 3 years working in a restaurant, and I still am working at one while I am in college. Actually, I know exactly how difficult it is to find a job right now. My girlfriend lost her job a few months back because the store she was working at the mall got closed down. Within a week she was hired as a server in another restaurant. Even in this economy, restaurant jobs are a dime a dozen. As a matter of fact, the restaurant I work at just hired new people this week. It is not hard to walk across the street and get another server job. Exactly. I can leave the restaurant I work at and be hired, literally within minutes of quitting. The OP obviously isn't in the F&B life style like some of us. Sounds like he is a whiny kid that got told to do something. Dressings, sour cream, butter, etc are often left out for a while. It is a fact. It happens in every restaurant. Most restaurants pay less than minimum wage. What he said is true. Perhaps minimum wage is different everywhere, but no matter where you go, 9 out of 10 server jobs will pay less than minimum wage and you work for tips. The OP is not doing the right thing because he is attempting to contact a lawyer to get money out of a wrongful termination. The right thing for the OP to do would first see a different manager or the GM of the restaurant. If the restaurant is a chain restaurant, there are people above the GM that can handle this more firmly. If it is a locally owned restaurant, see the owner. If the owner doesn't care that this is being practiced in his restaurant, he needs to notify whoever regulates the restaurants in your state. We have three or four government groups here in SC that come and check out restaurants for different violations. Once you notify them, and your that pissed off about it, quit! Walk down the road and get another job serving tables. Serving can be a very lucrative job, especially for an untrained, uneducated person. It is the absolute best college job because of the flexibility and there are tons of places to work. [/QUOTE]
