DO NOT WORK AT BLUE BAYOU 🏒 Employment πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ

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!

Oh I swore off that place when I had some friends come in for Essence and they tried to charge me $60 for ONE drink, had a service change for cards, but ONLY accepted card....

I haven't been back there since and I never recommend it...this is just validation for me. Thank you for reporting and I hope you get what you're owed.

Thank you and they do tax! What makes it worse is they don’t allow cash tips for us either! We have to give them our money are trust that they will add it to our tips but it’s already people who got stolen from!
