Pros

Amazing colleagues!!! Nice food options!!! Clean kitchen!!!

Cons

Horrid bosses/Management!!! - Bosses come from backgrounds which make them extremely judgmental and therefore they treat you in a certain way; due to their pre concieved notions of how a certain race supposedly acts, or an area that you live in. I had a manager who came up to me in front of two other colleagues and say "I don't know why she's wearing that headscarf (which is used as a fashion accessory- not a hijab type) I think she's trying to look like a kid with cancer to get more tips". I was SHOCKED and STUNNED- I could not say anything after that. My mum had passed away from cancer four months before; so this truly hurt and disgusted me! Then another manager came up to me to get 'in' with the joke and said " I like your scarf" (sarcastically). I said to him "maybe you should buy one". To which he said, "No I think i'd look a bit sick". Carrying on from the boss. This was the last straw for me and I handed in my notice and left. I couldn't take it anymore. The assistant manager at the time was such a huge suck up and was trying to get a higher position. He was disgusting and I would just jump to plain racist and predjudiced. On one occasion; I was serving at this till. Whilst he was being a runner. In order to reduce the workload I decided to get the drinks for the current order which was right behind me. He said to " You don't have to do that; us, runners do it". I said "Oh ok". With no tone of voice or any emphasis on words or body language. He came to me and said " there's no need to give me attitude". I was shocked because nothing I had said had even an ounce of attitude attached to it. It's like he looked at me and just assumed I was a, ghetto road girl just because I am black. I said to him "I think you are getting hung up on intonation". He was shocked; I think because he wasn't exactly expecting such vocabulary to come from my mouth. There were two other occasions this egotistical, disgraceful, narcissist kepet badgering me but I can't be bothered to write it all down now. Use of microwave of certain foods!!! LOW LOW pay for alot of work! Patronising managers My experience scarred me to the point whereby I have stopped visiting the chain restaurant. And told all family members & friends to not go there.
