TL;DR unpaid interns are only fine so long as the work they do provides no (or negative) benefit whatsoever to the employer.

Errant Gin Monks posted:I'm pretty sure it's more of a "we add this charge to ensure our employees have health insurance. If you are an utter piece of poo poo you can have this removed." And why not just increase the price presented to the customer by 5%, instead of lying about how much it costs and springing an extra charge on the end?

JacquelineDempsey posted:Meanwhile, I'm spending my own money buying peelers for the crew with my whopping $3/week raise because ours broke and the KM refuses to buy new ones --- "y'all need to develop knife skills anyways." That may be true, but if the reason I can't get a real raise is because our labor cost is so high, maybe invest a couple bucks in peelers and we wouldn't spend so much goddamn time peeling 75 pounds of apples with lovely paring knives? A couple bucks on peelers < paying 3 people $9 an hour to get those loving apples done, jeez, I'm not a loving mathemagician or anything but that makes no loving sense Looks like your KM managed to pay for neither the peelers nor the additional labor. He got what he wanted.

pile of brown posted:gently caress doordash. They somehow added our cafe to their site and started taking orders and charging people when we don't even have their loving terminal here. Drivers started showing up for orders we'd never received, and customers including the loving city council called me irate and demanding refunds of money we'd never even seen. Make some fake menus with the city council address and phone number, wait for doordash to scrape them.

Does 'the business side' include 'corporate sold off the brand and the company they sold it to decided to close down every location' because that happened to a good burrito place in my college town. All the employees came in that morning and there were lawyers there saying 'hey you don't have a job anymore'.

I always tip 0% through grubhub/doordash's online thing, then leave a note with cash on the doorstep because those platforms "don't" steal tips, they just deduct an amount equal to the tips drivers receive from their pay.
