Don't let employers get away with not paying you. Contact your employer (preferably in writing) and ask for the wages owed to you. If your employer refuses to do so, consider filing a claim with your state's labor agency.
what if my boss was paying me 12.50 but then in one of those check said 12.00 and then next pay check would be 12.50? what should I do?
You can demand interest in some cases
You dodged a bullet by quiting.
Once when I was 19 I worked as a host at this restaurant where I wasn’t trained and the manager would fire people on spot without telling them why. The restaurant was part of a franchise that had such a great reputation to it, but the location I was at was a hot mess. Well the drama of it all was 1) the managers “training method” was ‘you should know when you make mistakes without me telling you’ and 2) He constantly said the restaurant needed money and would take the servers and hosts tips (he took a total of $120 from me). I was just too young to know what to do. I stuck with it for 2 months then I was fired for a reason I don’t know. Years later I find out that the manager had been promoted to district manager bc our location was so profitable (all bc of him stealing tips) but was then reported by one of his locations for doing exactly what he did before. He was then fired and no one has heard from him since. I’d def like my $120 though... this was 12 years ago.
I appreciate Karma
Glad you mentioned your age. I feel terrible for young folks in restaurants bc they are too young and inexperienced to realize how poorly they are treated. It's all too common. Restaurants managers are mostly soulless.
@@amandaostaszewski8520 Retail and the service industry are the worst. They prey on the young, desperate and inexperienced. Makes me so mad I'm about ready to try enacting some sort of national policy to these workers more rights.
@@amandaostaszewski8520 Yes, he might have hired the youngest applicants to better take advantage of them.
People don't quit jobs they quit bosses. She may have been a nice person, but she was a shitty boss.
I hate working in restaurants. Can't stand it. Did it once and never again!
Back in college I had a job in a small shoe store at the mall in my hometown. I only lasted a few days there. The owner hired me on the spot after I went in to apply. He showed me around the store and asked me if I could come in the next day to start training so I did. I go in the next day and start getting trained by a girl a little older than me who had been there a while, I found out I was her replacement. The girl that was training me kept going on and on about how she was accepted to work for Hooters and the manager kept commenting on how she had a great rack for that job! I was so mortified that he said that in front of me and the other staff. He was creepy, he would stare at the girls and it made me uncomfortable. After a long day, he informed me at the last minute that he wanted me to lock up the store the next evening, just me and him and he said "it can be a date for both of us and he should bring champaigne"
Something snapped in me and I lost my mind..... and told him that I quit and he can shove that champaigne where the sun don't shine. I walked right out of there on the spot. He was a huge creeper. Thankfully I was paid for that day, and I reported him to the mall managment. I found out that the other girls that worked there came forward to mall managment too and a few weeks later the store was shut down. I visit the mall every once in a blue moon and I walk past where that shoe store was, it's a totally different store now, but it still gives me a creepy vibe.
I work at a restaurant, and I’ve had stories like this almost every shift. Food service is an insane industry.
I was a hostess at a Denny’s there was a bus boy who was an older gentleman and when I first started he used to give me the death stare whenever I cleaned a table. I asked a coworker what his deal was and they said “oh yea he doesn’t like people cleaning his tables”’ so I stopped cleaning the tables whenever he was working, or made sure to make comments like “oh gosh we are so busy today” We eventually became friends 😂
Some bus boys are serious about their jobs.
I understand the frustration of busboys when hostesses or waiters do our tables because when we have nothing to do (which is often) we get yelled at by the boss. However I’ve never been bitchy to waiters or others about it, its the boss’ fault for asking us to do shit when there’s nothing to do.
Girl yes. So I had worked at a store since I was a junior in high school, and after a few years the owner had sold it to someone else. and at that point i was in college and only working breaks and holidays. Shortly after the new owner took over, he moved the store to a larger location. You would think that he would hire movers and what not, but he in fact did not. The staff were the ones that packed, loaded and unloaded the truck, unassembled and reassembled tall clothing racks, painted the new store, pretty much everything while he stood and watched. I, at the time that this was happening was 20, and was the oldest employee there. So he had his all girl, mostly underage staff, move the store for him. Not to mentioned left 2 16-17 year olds and an 18 year old alone to paint the store one day and one of them fell off the ladder and had to go to the hospital. I have endless horror stories about that awful man.
What happened next?
@@millennialdisposition with a specific part or just overall? Overall I left a few months later.
what a piece of shit. you didn't sign up to be moved. the guy was obviously cheap as fuck.
Great storytime video. I'm visually impaired and I quit a popular clothing store after two days because I was mistreated and faced discrimination because of my disability. And they didn't even pay me for the hours I worked. After that experience and being turned away by so many stores because of my disability I decided to open an etsy shop.
If it makes you feel any better, I put in my two weeks at a job, and less than a week later they pushed me over the top when the manager laughed in my face saying I couldn’t leave early to go see my grandfather (who died the early the next morning so that would’ve been the last time I saw him) so I walked in the next day and upfront said “I’m done, I’m not working out my two weeks, I’m not coming in tonight and don’t put me on the schedule next week”
To confirm, were you able to say your goodbyes? I'm sorry to hear that
@@aj.meso26 I was never able to. I saw him six days before he passed, but not the night before when I got the text and had the above situation happen. March of next year will make 5 years without him and I'm still upset about the situation
Girl! Same here! I interviewed and took a position at a restaurant down the road from my house (I was gonna be like a busgirl PT) and I came in for my first training day. The other staff were polite but didn't really seem happy to have me there, I just figured it was my first day and they didn't know me. They didn't really train me on anything but they went over like how we get paid, where to keep my stuff, when we get breaks, etc. I worked a like 6 or 8-hour shift where I mostly cleaned tables, set tables, and brought dishes back for washing. I did get to eat at one point but I was told I would have to pay for my meal and so I had brought a sandwich. I was polite and did what was asked, didn't make a fuss or really talk much to anyone. At the end of the shift, I still didn't have a set schedule so I asked when the needed me again and the manager said: "I'll call you". To which, a week later, she still hadn't and when I called to ask what was up she responded by saying they didn't need my services after all...and I never got paid for that day of work. Suffice it to say I never went back to that restaurant to eat (though when I'm home we drive by it all the time since it's down the road from my parents LOL).
damn. that was my work. I was a really good host who bussed tables, answered phone, sat people, ran food literals everything. I once worked a 17 hour day with no break and it turned into a 55 hour week while going to school full time. are you sure I'm not morgan lmao
Haha! It honestly sounds like you and her are the same person! She looked so stressed all the time, I felt terrible for her
I don’t blame you. Jobs that you think you would fit in, are some of the mistakes we all make, cuz after a few months you’ll be wanting to get the hell out of that job lol
Restaurants don't deserve two week notices. Restaurants are one of the most explotive industries out there. It's very rare to find a decent one to work at. You truly do not matter.
I worked at dunkin donuts for a week and I just couldn't do it. I was dealing with bladder issues so I was going to the bathroom probably every 25 minutes and got screamed at to the point where she (the manager) banned me from the bathroom after the second day working. After that I was like "Yep this job wont be a long one" after going to the hospital for a back injury, I got told to quit that job asap, and I did. I also tried calling my manager before going to the hospital and she said "If you go, you're fired" So.. there's that.
I know I'm a bit late on this but I hope you reported her and I pray that you're doing better
So I have a story to share.
I once got a job as the cashier at a little eatery. It had been a successful food truck and the owners decided to expand to a brick and mortar with taking the truck out only for requested events. I was hired on with one other girl before it opened and the two of us worked through the grand opening just fine. It was a nice job at first. I'd work half a day taking orders and sweeping the floors during down time along with letting the kitchen know if we were running low on the side dishes we sold out of refrigerator cases (Things like fresh coleslaw or potato salad) before switching with the other girl, or vise-versa. My only issues were that first, part of the deal of working there granted us one free drink a day on days we worked. I'd always get a water because it was mid summer and the place did not have AC. They got tired of the waters going so fast so they banned water from what employees could choose as their one free drink. And second, I was 99% sure no one was getting their fair share of tips each week. There were four employees and two owners, in one day during my shift there would be over $50 put into the tip jar. at the end of the week on pay day I'd get my envelope of tips and I'd get less than a dollar. Pretty sure the owners just pocketed most of it themselves. But I was enjoying the job so I never said anything, not wanting to make waves.
A month later I was working my normal shift when one of the owners came up to me and told me to come in that saturday for a staff meeting. I do, and when I get there, I'm the only one there aside from the two owners, one working the cash register, the other in the kitchen. I was taken outside to one of the tables there and was promptly let go because, and I quote "We just don't think you could handle when we get busy." (remember I worked the grand opening with no problem at all and this was the first I heard that they were displeased with my work performance.) So I lost my job.
I later found out that the other girl was fired for "giving people her employee discount all the time" and the people who had replaced us? fired within a few weeks. My boyfriend worked in the kitchen and was also fired a few months later for "insubordination" after he literally saved the business a huge sale after the OWNER wrote down the wrong date for a large order and the person showed up to pick it up. My BF was working the kitchen alone and managed to make the order and all the walk in orders within twenty minutes. no small feat. No one except the owners worked there longer than a month aside from my BF who lasted a few months. but it was very clear the owners were not ready to have employees, so they would get rid of them by making up reasons so they wouldn't have to admit they made a mistake by expanding their business. Found out somewhat recently that they gave up and sold the business.
I had a retail job a lot like this, I wouldn’t come in when they scheduled me school days, got in trouble for cleaning so well in my first week that I didn’t have to clean more than 20 minutes every day, and would get yelled at constantly for not knowing things because they said “this is your training day” and the girl literally just left me alone and said figure it out the day that I applied/interviewed/got hired. My only motivation to stay was a friend of mine worked there and she got $100 added to her check if I made it 30 days. I quit when they wouldn’t give me the time off they promised me so I just went on my vacation and never went back (just happened to be exactly 30 days 😉) I also wrote my two weeks, turned it in, no one acknowledged it, and kept scheduling me so I just told them to suck it. I got someone to drop off my name tag for me because I didn’t wanna get asked what happened
The bus boy was probably mad because he wanted the tip.
I never ever want to work food service again....
Hostest always help bus tables. Every hostess job I have ever had included bussing tables.
this basically happened to me when I worked at Panera. I got hired right away but I quit after one day. They had me on the register by myself after a few hours because the girl who was "training" me left before my 4 hour sift ended. I sat in the bathroom and cried half way through because I was f-ing up everyone's orders and didn't know what I was doing. Came in the next day and quit.
Girl i feel you i was working at kfc and it got soooo busy and i didnt know how to work the teal or where anything was at so i messed up alot of peoples orders. I cried and there was so many super rude people.
Love your videos, I just started watching and I can't quit! You're a really good story teller
When I was a barista I had a manager who loved to play on my Tinder. One day, she was swiping on my tinder when she FOUND MY COWORKER AND SWIPED RIGHT ON HIM. The worst part was that WE. MATCHED. Jenni (my manager) then messaged him on my Tinder as me. The whole thing was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever experienced at work.
I was in my late teens, early 20s, and got what I thought was a sales job. It turned out to be one of those, pay for life magazine sales jobs. I worked long enough to make it to my first break. I'd already set a company record for number of sales. But I felt like an evil person. So when my 15 minutes was over, I told the manager this wasn't for me, and just left. I literally quit in less than 3 hours.
Your eyes are simply amazing!
😁
The look on your face at the beginning was hilarious!
I did this same exact thing with Tim Hortons and was hired the day after I applied and was immediately scheduled the rest of the week. The staff was super rude and I quit after 2 days and they never paid me
What I got from this story... Proper management is key!
The busboy thought you took his tips. 😂
As someone who is easily persuaded, even by non persuasive people, my best friend is the telephone. So much easier to say no to someone when you can't see them, as opposed to irl you could say no and start to leave and they say "no, wait" and I stop
Also 14 hours is absolutely ridiculous. The longest I've ever worked is 9 hours and that was too much (and it was actually 8 hours since I got an hour lunch). I would have said no as soon as I heard 14, I'd probably make an excuse like "oh yeah I can come in for the first 6 hours but I have to go to my other job after that"
The longest I worked was probably... 17? Every day for a week. Dude wouldn't pay for anything over 40 hours. I quit. Reported it to the government. Got paid. I should make a video about this lol.
i’ve worked as a hostess in 2 different restaurants and i will never do that again
Dang I quit my hostess job after 3 months cuz it was also a horrible situation, but I felt really bad. This makes me feel not as bad! Good job for standing up for yourself! No one deserves to be in such a hostile work environment
Hey girl, I live in Maine too 🖤 this reminds me of a hostessing job I also had at a crazy restaurant. Maybe I’ll make my own story time about it
this is basically what its like to work in a restaurant. i have done it at a few places and i refuse to do it again.
😂😂😂 that opening shot 💜💜
I took a cleaning job a few weeks ago and did the training. After signing a probation contract and doing all the induction requirements, I decided to give my two weeks of resignation notice 3 days later, because I realized that the job was just not for me. I'm a creative person, and I had no place cleaning kitchens and canopies that required speed and efficiency. I felt bad because my main employer was nice to me. The other guys were also decent but rightfully gave me shit for not performing well enough, which really dampened my spirit, so I decided then that I wasn't going to stick around much longer than I wanted to.
sounds like every restaurant in las vegas that i have worked at
I worked in restaurants for over 15 years at about 5 different places, both chain and mom-and-pop. As sad as this all sounds, none of this was surprising. From the cooks and the managers, the places are always a mess. I remember a girl quiting my fist night at my last job,and I shrugged it off too. Working 14 without a break, by myself, on a 2 hour wait, without food, was what I would have considered a normal Sunday. Feel this all, deeply.
Yeah, it’s not just crazy that she never got time off, it’s illegal. Like extremely
I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE FROM SOUTHERN MAINE!! AHHH I love your content SO much more now
Same here!!
My coworker bless her heart is in college and works 13 hour shifts on most days , if not that she is ALWAYS called in last min. and is told she MUST come in and I had talked to her about this because she had a breakdown and was sobbing at work in our breakroom ( we are in retail ) . She was so exhausted but our boss takes advantage of her and others and will change our schedules without asking he just does it thus causing so many issues yet refuses to hire anyone else. When I started there was three of us at the end it was just me and prior to that he hired five people and only one stayed outta the bunch. Some people just don't get it.
Omg that sounds like a nightmare! I can't even image...I worked a campus job in college so it worked around my classes and was enough money to get me by. I can't even imagine working full time AND going to school.
Dude. I worked at Applebee's for 4 years. Legit, that not getting a break thing? That happened where I worked too. Sometimes, when I would get breaks, it would be 30 min for a 12hr shift, but we would have to roll silverware during it. Pretty sure that's illegal. That's how restaurants are. I'll never work at a restaurant again. I'm not sorry.
Elizabeth Lepage preach girl I work at Applebee’s I know what you mean!
I work at Applebee’s too😂😂 I worked while pregnant and I mean PREGNANT. I worked until 39 weeks and same.
BBB would love to hear how you didn't get paid.
If anything the busser should’ve thanked you. I hated slow bussers when I was hosting!
I’m from Southern Maine as well!!! So cool 😁🦞
i had a job once where the boss and a co worker threatened to beat each other up!
You are under no obligation to come in on your scheduled day off. You can't be punished for it. Sounds like this place needed a review from the labour board. The manager sounds like she had zero experience actually being a manager. They are supposed to make sure things run smoothly. Nobody can work properly if they aren't properly trained.
I would have walked out when she yelled at the employee she called in
Girl I worked at a restaurant near an ice cream shop in Kansas city and I truly thought you worked at where I worked at because our stories are THE SAME. also a girl named Morgan worked there and was the senior hostess
I TOTALLY get why you quit! I am a business owner and dont treat my employees that way, but wanted to let you know that my policy is that the last check has to be picked up in person if the person quits. Just curious why you didnt just go to try to collect the check and you could call the labor board.
@kamin because in 38 yrs of being a business owner, I have had issues with people saying they didnt get their last check, so just easier to know I handed it to them.
The busboy thing reminds me of a guy I worked with at a restaurant. He got mad at me for taking out the trash. He literally said to me, "My job." (Not that this holds a lot of bearing to this story, but he was foreign, so he spoke in broken English. Not trying to make fun of him; I'm just quoting what he said to me.)
I worked for FOUR HOURS as a telemarketer, in a call center where we tried to sell symphony tickets. I learned immediately that the only way you took someone out of the cycle is if they hung up on you, or obviously made a purchase. Some of the people I spoke to had been called 5 or 6 times, had indicated zero interest, but we just said OK and put their card back in the file to call again (*LONG before Do-Not-Call lists were a thing*). They also had a hard time keeping people and pressured me to work more hours before I'd finished a single shift (during which I didn't make a single sale). They had pressured me to start sooner than I was ready as I didn't yet have reliable transportation. I quit by phone, and they were angry because I wouldn't be working extra hours, to which I responded That why I wasn't ready to start yet!
I never went back for the check, either.
Reminds me of my first job I had at Disney. I sold balloons at Magic Kingdom. I was so excited about getting this job because it was my first and it was at Disney. My first day was rough. I was with a trainer that was really nice but she didnt want to teach me anything. I was thrown in and it was almost like she expected me to know everything right off the bat. I was so worn down by the end of the day because standing out there on main street all day in the Florida July heat is extremely difficult. I went back the next day and it was so much harder. I wasnt learning anything, and being out in that heat was terrible for me lol. A couple hours left of my shift I went in and told my boss I was quitting lol. I finished my shift and never went back 😂🤷♀️ Now I just keep my Disney job of 2 days off my resume 😂
I took a job at Smoothie King and quit after a few weeks. I also worked a canvasing job and quit after less than a week. Thankfully I had a full time job at the time. I only worked those jobs because my charity case of an ex needed more money coming in so he could win his kids back from his kid's mother. I learned my lesson with that one.
I have sooo many stories I easily could start my own channel all about my experiences
I worked at a party place for 3 months and it was SO BAD. The opposite of yours they gave me no hours what so ever. & all the people I worked with werent nice at all.. so I had it and quit 😂 I’m sorry you had a bad experience there & thats really bad they never sent you your check.
I worked in a call center only payed $13 , I couldn't see myself doing that when I know I'm worth more.
After I left by boss said oh well. I heard her slandering me saying she couldn't stand me
Just left a job after 3 weeks. Bloody awful. Now looking for something else
I've been a hostess for three years. Not a single thing you said sounds off. All of that is completely normal at a restaurant. Dress code, long hours, crazy and unexpected schedules. Also, it is NOT a hostess job to bus tables, in fact, I HATE doing it, because it means the busboy or server was way too slow to take care of their tablets and then they need my help when I've got other things to do
this is triggering me so hard haha i left food service a while ago and it was horrible
You could've sued
Of course it closed😂 that sounds horrible!
If you ever need content, I have crazy work stories.
I am kinda seeing similar patterns with the female managers.
You were taken advantage of hardcore

This isn’t all that crazy for a hosting job. This is how 4/5 of the restaurants I’ve worked in have been.
I had a summer camp job watching young kids in a rented classroom. The teacher must not have known that their classroom was rented out because their desk was not locked or cleaned out, and I had to clean it out because there was a knife in there, among other things the kids could have gotten into.
The music is distracting

I quit a job after a month because they switched the dress code. Ughhh
What was the dress code before & after? Must have been a pretty bad switch for you to quit?
The new dress code made jeans only part of the uniform. I liked my jeans and definitely didn't want to wear them in a greasy kitchen. I would wear chef pants- which made more sense. It should have bee. Jeans OR chef pants
Latifah Gordeeva that’s so odd that they would make it jeans only! They definitely didn’t make a good choice there. Well I hope you ended up finding a job with a better dress code policy.
@@eggegg8181 It sure was odd. I argued about with them. That place was not well run. That's why it is no longer.
GIRL WHY IS THIS A 20 MIN VIDEO??? THIS ISNT DRAMA OR AN ENTERTAINING STORY ...THIS IS LIFE. LIKE WTFFFF. I JUST LOST ANOTHER 20 MINS OF MY LIFE CANT EVER GET BACK.
