My coworkers weren't very friendly in the months that I worked there. Most of them were just rude didn't say hi or wouldn't talk to you at all. Half of them are in recovery which I suppose doesn't help any. The managers have their favorites they get the best sections and you get stuck with all two tops and they get all the large parties.

Pros and Cons
Free donuts, free lunch sometimes, 50% off employee meals
The customers are an older clientele, low tips, lots of side work

This company doesn’t care for the workers sadly. The manager favor people who don’t do their jobs properly. My coworkers didn’t like people very much. They would talk smack about everyone who would come in. I love customer service and they would always send me to the back to roll silverware. I actually got fired from standing up to the manager for the girls billing me there. I told them about how the girls would gang up on me and they didn’t care. And the owner of the restaurant fired me over that.

Pros and Cons
Discount on food
Bad management

Depends on the store. If you got new management more than likely yes. But you might have that salty manager that will never let that situation go.

Probably because they had people come back pretty often, but if it’s the same store proprietor manager, I would just explain the situation again and make sure it doesnt happen at least for a while.
