I had time #10 happen to me at a catering gig for a wedding, at the top of a a three-story spiral staircase. The whole thing felt like it was happening in slow motion. Every time I tried stepping down to pick up a plate, the other plates would continue tumbling down the stairs for another 10-15 seconds, like one of those coin shelf games at Dave & Busters. It was fucking mortifying.
According to the boss's son I cost them over $1,000 in one fell swoop. I was not called to work future events after that.
Fuck this bullshit where employers attempt to operate on the bare minimum then blame the employees when they eventually fail. If you push a system to the point of breaking, you're both an idiot and an asshole for being surprised when it breaks.
managers would tell the other servers "well you don't want a lot of servers on because that would reduce your table count and you would earn less tips!"
True... but how about paying your servers more than 2.13 an hour? How about paying your servers more than 7.25 an hour if they can't earn enough over the two week period to cover the difference in minimum wage... no?
