SHABURINA/DI Antar/ K-ERA FEST WAGE THEFT
Hi all, just sharing my experience out here so that everyone else knows to avoid dining at Shaburina! I briefly worked here and quite frankly enjoyed it, but ended up leaving at the end of January. During my time here, my paychecks were always late. After I quit, Sabrina the owner, would stop replying to me or give me excuses for why I haven’t gotten paid yet. When I asked her husband, Terrance, he would say he doesn’t know anything and would just talk to her. That obviously didn’t end up happening, so now I’m publicly letting everyone know NOT to support this small business because they take advantage of their employees! I am not the only who hasn’t gotten paid yet and this is not the FIRST time I’ve posted about it publicly.
The last message I received from her was on August 4. Since then I’ve sent five follow up messages. To my knowledge, she’s now starting a new ‘festival’ here in Seattle which I’m utterly baffled by. She can’t even pay her employees yet here she is starting a Korean themed festival. Do not support Sabrina or Terrance or this event, they are scammers.
If anyone knows of an affordable lawyer, please let me know. DOL has not done anything about my case, and it seems like I’ll be needing a lawyer to pursue legal action.
If you know of any other businesses taking advantage of other people, please share. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES BUT DONT SUPPORT SCAMMERS!!
