Poster's Story Title:   Ever worked at or heard anything about.. Name Of Establishment:   Heartland Brewery Location:   Manhattan Story:   A friend of mine has just been offered a job here. I read something about some legal action being considered against them but that was many moons ago. He said they seemed like they had the right fit for him but a lot of the managers seemed new. Any thoughts? Response Story:   I worked here for one day. Seemed like most corporate restaurants. The waitress training me told me that some of the managers are just mean and moody and if one is in a bad mood, he will fire someone on the spot for something miniscule like the sides of your tablecloths not being even. Preshift, we were sitting in one room while some people had something to eat, there was a clear window on one wall and a manager walked by and very sternly motioned to another waiter by rubbing his beard signaling he needed to shave. Instead of walking into the room and telling him remotely civily, he really rudely played this charade game with a very snide, condescending expression and then just walked away. Yeah, some of the managers had that neonazi corporate manager demeanor and way about them. The waitress training me had a 10 table station during lunch which turned something like twice. The tip out was like 1/3 to 40% of your tips (or it could have been based on sales, I can't remember exactly it was a while ago) but she walked with $62 working 10 to 3:30. Not sure of the location your friend is working at, but it seemed like a lot of tourist families with kids which is a big yuck to me personally. Another waiter told me when I was leaving that he kinda liked it and you can make 800 to 900 a week for the most part depending on your schedule. That was the one in Times Square.
