So I got "hired" here last year, sometime In October…read more
Despite asking for a proper hiring process with papers and signatures, I worked here for a week with absolutely no contract of any kind. I was payed under the table in cash and coins.
The woman who owns the place is a decent lady, I can tell she's just trying to work hard for her kid. I enjoyed the little company I had with her when she half trained me on taking orders and working their systems and routines.
On the other hand, her husband, the cook.
He is something else. Genuinely the worst person I have ever worked with. He acts all smart when he can't even run his own POS system.
EVERY DAY FROM 7am-3pm that week, I was left ALONE to
- take all orders, in person, over the phone orders, and packing all uber orders
- Make all the drinks, including smoothies
- clean all dishes, and put them back dry (they have a limited amount, so I was rushing to keep them in cycle)
- take food to all customers tables
- cleaning off plates , sweeping, sanitizing and re set every table after every customer (so many huge kid messes cover the floor from breakfast and lunch)
- bathroom checks are never able to be done
- they re use so much stuff. The ice coffee is never fresh. Month old in the fridge.
- I literally saw the women have to bring her small kid into the back to stay the whole shift and wait. I felt bad and stayed, even though they never properly hired me.
- a customer found a piece of plastic in her 10 year old sons food. When I told the cook, he did nothing and shrugged it off. Leaving me to apologize for his mistake.
Eventually I got sick of the old cooks nagging and blaming me for customers leaving or hating the food/ service.
I left mid shift, never looked back.
UNDERSTAFFED AND OVERWORKED. UNDERPAID for the amount of work I did ALONE.
Refusing to hire more than one person for a whole restaurant is wild.
Business will stay horrible with that guy around.
Sure it gets busy, it's an Eggsmart.
Although, almost every customer leaves with a grumpy face and wasted time sitting at the table to just make an order.
I recommend to never eat here, no idea how old the food is, or what else they're being cheap with.
