Holy schnickes! This place IS hell on Earth.
1. We had to memorize, recite, know by heart word for word: in and out of order the "TOP 10" (BG’s top ten commandments) f#&*ed up part was, they had "trainers" who were management cronies who would test you on them and if you missed a word or replace a word , they’d f#&*ing let you have it…or just "FAIL" you and make you do the whole f#&*ing shift over again on another day….which by the way , you only had 3 chances to pass training. Another f#&*ing thing about this top ten was how f#&*ing degrading it was when we were forced to say them out loud like f#&*ing cow and recite them all together.
2. We had to ask stupid trivia on the f#&*ing movie. Managers would go around during their "table touches" and ASK the f#&*ing people if you did them. THEY REQUIRED you to ask them 3 motherfucking questions per table.
AND yes there always is the stupid guest who would try their very hardest to annoy the f#*k out of you and say shit like…"i can stump you…i watched the movie yesterday because i knew we were coming.." WHOOPDEE f#&*ing doo jackass.
3. 3 minute loops- Managers would stand by the kitchen door with a f#&*ing stop clock and a clipboard and TIME your f#&*ing loops.
4. Checking out - OMIGOD. it took a lifetime. ok so my last table is sat at 10:59 pm (the restaurant is closed at 11pm_so im f#&*ed already) I wait, serve the motherfuckers… and start closing up all my tables… ok its fair i gotta clean the tabletop any condiment jar what ever…BUT when i have to check the bottoms of my f#&*ing table and remove gum thats BULLSHIT.
SIDEWORK - u literally had to take toothpicks and clean the inner grates of the f#&*ing machines at this place…or else….a f#&*ing trainer will bitch or a manager at the end of the night takes a FLASHLIGHT to it to make sure your life is hell.
5. The f#&*ing general manager JW….a complete corporate jackass
Comments
If this complaint is accurate, it sounds as though the San Fran location is a little over the top on what it expects from its employees. I’ve worked for both the Chicago and Times Square locations. Was either situation perfection? Of course not. But, all in all, it’s a good company to work for. Any problems I had were more centered around people than corporate ideals.
Maybe this guy needs to lighten up. Maybe the restaurant is run by tyrants. If the first comment was truly by this guy’s former boss, based on his lack of professionalism, I’d say it’s a combination of both.
lighten up dude, your just pissed off because we fired your incompetent ass
