I just want to say that there is so much unprofessionalism with this location. I love the drinks from La La, and been to other locations.
First, I noticed that they had employees pretend to be customers in what appears to be major damage control. Nate Herrera is a CURRENT lead there. Ella Sweeney works there, Anna V is a current employee. And they all pretended to be customers.
That's misleading to guests, and a conflict of interest, Google Reviews are to be written by guests only, however Nate said " I've been coming here for awhile now and just want to say that" like what do you mean you work there!!! Ofc you've been going a while omg they can't even do pr right! They have to mislead guests by straight up pretending to be guests!!! Google says " Contributions to Google Maps should reflect a genuine experience at a place or business. Fake engagement is not allowed and will be removed," I think pretending to be a guests counts. It also says " Content that is based on a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest may include current employment" in support.google.com
Also I find it interesting how Ella tried to come across like she's sweet at first, but I think that Afro hair man is on to something, she sounds snarky in her own review
" I'll always keep it real and honest! Be careful and weary of ex employees relying on Ai to leave a review to dish their old dramas. Clearly they are an EX employee for a reason! La La Land constantly pushes kindness and good energy, and it's clear they did not have that to offer." Like she sounds judgmental, preppy and stuck up and like she's never been put in her place in her life. His post doesn't sound like Ai at all, she wouldn't even know that, she just hates him and is trying anything she can to insult him. AND NO PROFESSIONAL LEAD OR EMPLOYEE WOULD DO THAT. So it's clear Elle doesn't have much positive energy to offer but snarky judgey hateful energy I can read through a screen. "CLEARLY THEY ARE AN EX EMPLOYEE FOR A REASON," like you are proving his point, what kind of toxic place is this, Ellla you need counseling. Why support a business that allows this behavior. Not professional at all, and the fact la la even praised the comment shows who they are, a company that protects bullying culture and a toxic environment. La la knows that these commentators are EMPLOYEES and they say "omg thank you for the review" those are your own employees!!! And they better be careful, I googled and found those exact legal codes and he's right, if they did that, then they committed harrasment. I love the drinks here but can't condone a place that silences people who speak up!!!
I also came in several times, I've heard them playing Sticky several times, some body named Dooechai or Doechi and heard body part names I can't repeat. I couldn't believe it lol. And I heard Jack say "better catch this p*" behind the counter and started twerking. He shakes his butt often and it makes me uncomfortable as a guest. A few months ago a girl named Mia said blue waff and I'm like ewww. This is a family friendly place. If someone brought up concerns and you guys act like this, ooof that's major EVIDENT retaliation and to pretend to be guests too. Oof.
If you go in, listen to the music they may. Watch how they are on their phones the WHOLE TIME, I've even seen them watch YouTube and movies and take calls while on bar!! Do you want people making your drinks that are on the phone watching a movie or show and have AirPods in and are on a FaceTime. I can't believe this is a real business. How about instead of trying to write fake reviews from current employees that you guys aren't upfront in your own reviews about and have corporate reasons to make it seem more legit acting again like they aren't the same people lmfao, how about you put the same amount of energy into having a respectful non sexual work environment. If they did any of that at jobs I worked at they'd be let go instantly.
Also Alexis J looks like she got to be careful, writing fake reviews that are so fake like this is defamation - there's no Server Jonas at Din Tai. Conveniently posts her reviews on google saying La La land is good while writing a fake retaliatory review on Jonas for Din Tai all around the same time hmmm. Jonas is looking completely right that the environment was toxic. Yall go this far for being called out instead of being kind. lol what a false name of a com read more
