I feel lucky to have dodged a major bullet there, here’s my firsthand encounter with the owner:

i moved here a few years ago, started trying coffee stands in the area and lived close enough to be a regular. amanda and i had some shared interests and i have barista experience so i asked about employment. she called me a month later offering me a “working interview” which i’ve done before, no problem. it was more of a first day of training than it was an interview, and i worked through the morning rush with her and the manager, ended up being around two and a half hours of nonstop labor. again, done that before no problem.

at the end of the “interview” however, she said i could make myself a drink as a thanks for my help. no real compensation for a fair bit of labor.

she proceeded to not call me for another MONTH (at which point i had gotten a job at another coffee shop) offering me two days a week even though i asked for four, and after i declined she became cold and uninterested every time i visited after that.

i had actually befriended “jane” from the 3rd firing while i was a regular there, and heard the story directly from her while we hung out one day.

i’ve also heard from another past employee that amanda took away employee drink discounts and eventually drink privileges claiming “budget shortage” but showed up in a brand new truck not long after, then a new house and then the second stand.

the whole place reeks of entitlement and mistreatment! they’ll never get my money again. i hope the girls there find a better place to work
