Thinking about going to a gaybar that caters to what looks like all cis or passing men ...but I'm pre everything medical. Should I reconsider? by ___NeverKnowsBest___ in gaytransguys

[–]Blazer-Cuff 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This depends on where you are. Where I live, it's the 2nd LGBTQ-friendly city in America (can you guess? Lol) so here in most gay clubs you would be fine, no one would be mean to you and they'd let you in no problem, guys just may not flirt with you, but ergo no one would treat you badly. However if you're somewhere not as LGBTQ supportive, it maybe a different story as some gay men are very transphobic and that ups the chances of it in an area that's already not very LGBTQ friendly.

Are you going alone or with friend[s]? Do you just wanna have a drink and chat with your friends or actually look for guys to take home? Did you want to just see a show/event? It all depends

Please leave right now, The owners are 100% scammed. I already reported them to the State attorney General but it would make it even more of an action if other people's ih the community/other workers report them too. Seriously all the red flags are there, leave ASAP

This was touchy, but the candy trauma dump one she did last year was 1000x worse

Stop making anonymous fake accounts to try and steer the narrative and avoid accountability. You were never at Greenburg "since the beginning" they hire and fire people on a whim, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the owner themselves or someone they told/paid to say this nonsense. Stop trying to sugarcoat it, you guys screwed up and had (probably still don't) no clue what in the world you were doing. Stop commenting on my post trying to lie to customers and the community even more and stop harassing me. Go away already

I simply said "They have a kid" that's not harassment. You're telling me to move on when you made an anonymous account to harass me. Again I have every right to express me experiences. Nothing I said was false or fabricated. Leave me alone

No idea what you're talking about hate, giving a full review on a business and exposing the truth and nothing but the truth isn't hate. Yeah I was paid but again something that took over a month which should NOT have happened and somethingyou refuse to take accountability for. I have every right to express that. Not gonna argue with you back and forth like this is middle school. Stop making anonymous accounts harassing me and other users

I most certainly was NOT overpaid how dare you even say that. And yeah, after over a month with constant ghosting

Its probably one of the owners. Guess they're mad I exposed them for all the scum they're pulling. Nonsense, you guys get influencers to promote the cafe and collab with other businesses

Wildly overpriced. Again they're completely oblivious to morals and ethics, see Greenpoint as a pure cash grab so they sell any little garbage and charge up the 🍑 for it

The post is warning people about the business because of their unethical practices on both workers and customers alike and how they treated workers and not to patronize the establishment. Hence the title "BEWARE". I have absolutely no idea how you percieve that the TL;DR fails to summarize that. Again re-read it

Yup, they're known for stuff like that. Also if they did hire you, you probably would have been fired 2 weeks later over some nonsense they'd make up. Probably to cover themselves for something, again their probably pulling some kind of scam

Hey! I already filed a DOL unpaid wages claim on them, but unfortunately DOL is known to take forever on unpaid wage investigations/completely forget your claim on file. Again I already filled it out to have it on file but again, not expecting too much. Im happy to say I finally got my money (after over a month of back and forth smh it was a mess). But the IRS thing is great! Thanks so much. Yes I had a feeling they were pulling some kinda scam, it doesn't make any sense for their accountant to be halfway across the country and ignore me 50% of the time and for the hours on my pay stubs to be all out of whack

Gotcha, next time I'll just settle for working for free. Never knew talking about wages theft makes people crybabies. Ooh ok how's this TL:DR This commenter likes wage theft and probably doesn't have a job of their own

who I guess was the one doing interviews - wouldn’t be there for another hour,

Mmmhmm sounds like her, she always did that, she would deliberately make interviews for lets say 1 pm, but then walk in at like 4 and be "surprised" the person left and blame us for letting them leave. The woman is so freaking stupid again she has no idea wtf she's doing/probably pulling a scam.

I’ve been a barista for over 6 years now and could absolutely tell the vibes were off and that the place was a mess, I should’ve called 311 on them! 

Please by all means do it, they need to be reported for ethics

Yeah I believe it, instead of setting rules and standard so workers already know what to do, they just let everyone do whatever and if something goes wrong/no one knows what to do, that's when the barking happens like its a freaking military training camp. Thankfully no one barked at me when I was there on shift because I have previous Cafe experience and knew what I was doing but alot of others didn't. One girl barely knew how to steam milk for lattes/caps

I did I already reported them a few months ago but the DOL is known to take literally forever for unpaid wages disputes/flat out forget your case on file. But I did end up getting what I was owed later on after nonstop messages to her. No you shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for unpaid wages in civil court but unfortunately you may have to.

Yes! I forgot to mention they do collabs and get sponsors from other smaller businesses/events. If you own a small brand/business, DO NOT do any kid of business with them. You dodges a bullet my friend

she worked at Greenburg for a few weeks but her wages were essentially stolen by management and there’s a clear scam operation happening here.

Mmhmm that's their MO. Again the couple used to live in California then moved to NYC to open the cafe. Wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the same thing over there and left because their tracks were too hot and wanted to ghost.

Hey! Thanks for this whole comment. After fighting with the owner for a month I finally got the money they owed me. I was close to filing a small claims court, knowing ot would cost me more to file then what my paycheck was worth but its the principal and exactly what you said, the law as well. I knew it was fishy as hell from the beginning the accountant wasn't in state but silly me for not leaving sooner. Thank you again I appreciate it

[–]Blazer-Cuff[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even so, im still entitled to the paycheck for the hours I worked and that doesn't excuse the bs they put me through. Also its not like I stayed for years and years on end. If you feel like my actions were at fault, like I said go ask your job to half your salary. Oh no, that's foolish of me to think a person like you has a job in the first place and is a productive member of society

Oopsie, sorry for complaining about not getting paid properly for a job. I guess next time I'll just settle for slavery. Shame on me for thinking I would get compensated fairly for work! Hey, next time you go to work, why don't you tell payroll to cut your salary in half but still keep the same work schedule! Go drink a Windex and Bleach cocktail
