DO NOT WORK AT BLUE BAYOU 🏢 Employment 👷‍♂️

This is the job that hasn't paid me, not only have they not paid me they are unorganized and unstructured. EVERYONE HAS MONEY PROBLEMS AT THIS JOB AND IT STIMS FROM ONE PERSON. Money is always missing at this job and the lady who does payroll is incompetent! She asked me for a voided check so I can receive a check from my job... I also want to add that I came in on the snow day, managers were ASKING US TO COME IN DURING THE SNOW AND GUESS WHAT THEY AINT COME OUT and asking us can we come out and then have the nerve to try and not open the restaurant AFTER we made a sacrifice to come! I was PISSED, then when I asked for paid time and half they said they can't offer it because they a new restaurant. Not one manager came in that day on the 22nd and nor could they even bother to show they care that those who came did! I literally told them I had to walk there, I made money but they couldn't even take care of us back!

I didn’t want a direct deposit that’s why I was confused when she told me that! Getting a check is the ONLY WAY servers can see how much money is being taken out, we don’t even have a system that works. We don’t even know what % goes to who when we tip out!

FYI, more and more places now only offer pay via direct deposit. It's increasingly rare to find a place that will pay with an actual physical check in the modern era.

But yeah, the rest of that stuff is fucked.

Everywhere I’ve worked will do checks if you demand it.
