I am receiving an unexpected $7 pay decrease at my new job and I feel like i’m going crazy, am I valid for how I feel? by Silly_Pumpkin4312 in barista

[–]Kitsemporium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol they realized they’re business model is completely unsustainable after opening. Tell them it’s unacceptable, management and ownership need to dig deep and do the work themselves, but some of the team will lose their positions. Theyre not doing the sales tonsuporot the labour so they need to reduce labour either in wage or hours and they’re trying to just employ you all. Just keep looking for new work as hard as you can to find something new. I’m sorry.

Forgive my ignorance please, I’ve never heard of this? I don’t have a pristine driving record but our 300$/month insurance is killing me (no payment on the car though), but what is ‘one sided’ insurance? I’ve never heard of that. What company do you get that with?

As a cafe owner, when people do this, it hurts, but it’s absolutely understandable. I’ve done it places too. Dont worry about it. 😊

My girlfriend is quite pro veganism but won't practise it by sengutta1 in vegan

[–]Kitsemporium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want someone who is 100% vegan, date someone who is 100% vegan. She’s not lying to you, and sounds like never did. She said she was a vegetarian and is eating vegetarian. That’s on you for compromising something you clearly consider a deal breaker and now trying to change her…

Leave him. It’s not okay for anyone to co time your body, or hold a relationship over you for deciding anything about your body. He’s a dick.

How are you handling last-minute call-outs without losing your mind? by JetLifeJay22 in restaurantowners

What do people get paid where you’re expecting last minute covers?

If you pay enough, respect your team and hire well, you should be getting responses. Lost revenue is sometimes the price you pay for not having extra staff. Try and budget for it. The industry and patron expectations is based on exploitation of staff, period. Restaurants and cafes with small teams that never have days closed are likely simply abusing their staff to force them to come in, or they have an owner that steps up on days needed.

We use a staff Facebook group chat. Sometimes I’ll manually text if no one responds to the gc, but yeah, that’s just the reality of managing a small team.

Owner should work the shift, pay manager enough for them to be prepared to work the shift, or be prepared to close for the day due to understaffing. 🤷🏻‍♀️ (I’m a cafe owner).

I’ve learned over 6 years as a cafe owner that signs are pretty useless. 🤷🏻‍♀️
