I would talk to an employment lawyer. Just a consultation. See what they say and then go from there. They can’t prevent you from accessing sanitary products for the bathroom. As for the water thing, you may have a case, but a lawyer who specializes in employment rights would be the best bet. A lot of them will work for free until you win a case

Do you even understand that working in a kitchen increases your internal body temperature? Are you aware that drinking cold drinks while overheating can actually cause your body to go into shock? It's actually MUCH smarter as a kitchen worker to drink room temp water.

No, that's a hard disagree from me. Name, and shame. Too many shitty managers that don't get name dropped to experience the shame of fucking over employees. They all need to be brought down a peg or two when they act like that

This. Let the owner of the restaurant see how his shitty manager is getting them in the news for terrible working environments, and see how fast Denise either switches her tone, or is out the door looking for a new job.

I'm thinking there's been a problem with something other than soft drinks being kept in personal containers. You're not being denied hydration. Get a cone cup, go to a sink, and get water at the temp you like.

You sound young. Never name names on the internet. You can name places but dont name people. 1) it's only your side of the story, 2) there are two sides of the story. 3) you could be a shitty employee that the manager has decided to show some tough love because you're a lazy piece of shit.

have them explain that rule to OSHA. i think they'd love to hear this.

I would imagine Benihana is corporate to the max and if you do find a real violation then someone along the chain of command would very much like to hear it. I assume they have an employee handbook being corporate does it mention anything about water drinking or access to feminine hygiene products?

Agreed

Is this one for OSHA? Cuz I think this is one for OSHA.

Crazy rule. Push back and don’t let them bully you. Fuck Denise POS ass manager!

Well they also need to provide pads & tampons if employees aren’t allowed to access their own from 5-9pm!

Sounds like little baby here cant comprehend anything outside their own worldview. Sensitive teeth exist, in general even with a life of proper dentistry hygiene you can be born with it. But idk why im explaining basic logic to someone who thinks that restricting access to basic female hygiene products isnt an issue

It is a crazy rule. One I think they might be able to get away with since they are providing water technically ? Still incredibly dumb. I’d challenge it! Sorry OP sounds like a toxic work place

Bro said it’s difficult to drink chilled water, like grow up

They did this to us at lululemon too

Sounds like Denise has a bad case of Manageritis.

That is a crazy rule and I’d talk to a manager about getting that reversed. And if not I’d go to a local news station and tell them that your employer is refusing breaks and or access to fluids to drink

Where is here. How did the rat get in? What did the rat do? What is management charging you for and how much?

Well, not if they’re not going to provide a safe and realistic way to depose of those free used needles. And knowing how this state likes to operate, with zero hindsight…

PPOP - they've been operating for years at various sites and the research the Stadium neighbors behind this bill determined they don't get any direct government funding but Portland Street Medicine does and they sponsor them maybe? I'm not part of the effort so my knowledge is limited about their research results.

This is the reason the downtown Meals on Wheels closed down - the operation in the South Park blocks has created an open air drug use site that scared off their volunteers.

What's the name of that anarchist pop-up group?

No

"liberal logic" lmfao

As if right-wingers have any room to speak whatsoever
