You guys seriously screwed me and your other employees over. I was laid off over the holidays and, when I was supposed to go back to work, my coworker told me we were laid off for another month. I had to reach out to my employer to figure out what was going on. I could barely afford groceries and was eating a meal a day waiting to hear back if I had a job there, when living expenses are seasonally higher and employment is low. You only scheduled two people to run the kitchen at a time for minimum wage, which was absolutely ridiculous especially considering the weird hours and not being able to have a meal there without it coming out of our own pocket— all while trying not to lose it during a rush. You took our debit tips and taxed us on them to add to the businesses general income. Ugh.
