You know what I really dislike and have an issue with in the restaurant industry? You’re expected to show up early( not talking about a few minutes, more like 30min-1hr), and sometimes you are expected to work through your break. It is utterly ridiculous what they expect from people and their sacrifices.
How come people are expected to come in early? Because your station is set up in a way that if you do not come in early, you will not finish your prep and you will get yelled at etc etc.
I know it is the nature of the industry, but I honestly think if you want an employee to come in an extra hour early, pay the person. People are giving up an extra hour of my life to come into work for free everyday. It adds up.
Many industries do not require this from their employees and their employees get paid more than minimum wage. Sometimes I think this industry is beyond messed up and I think I should get another job. Some days.
