Spend your money where you want. But until someone can tell me that these places are forcing women to work there, I find it hard to see it as exploitation. Barring the shitheads we're talking about on the management side.

The point is that in a society where nearly everything one needs to live is tied to employment, the employer has a distinct and powerful advantage when it comes to getting the employee to compromise their principals.

Whatever your opinion of those restaurants I think it's funny that the lawyer says how Twin Peaks employees "signed up to work at a family restaurant" when its name and logo are an extremely unsubtle reference to boobs

Shooting Blanks posted:Why are we judging the clientele of those places rather than focusing on the real issue: management at those particular locations are absolute trash. The establishment-client dynamic is a lot more equitable than the employer-employee dynamic. Both can be abused, however one is far, far easier to abuse at a much higher level. Liquid Communism posted:I think you got the point backwards.

Shooting Blanks posted:Then opt out, stop working, and stop having money to pay your bills. Let me know how that works out for you. What point are you trying to make here? That you're doing the women who work at some dumpy not-quite-a-titty-bar an indirect favor by paying their bills (and giving substantially more to the managers and owners)? Just because you don't want labor to be exploitative doesn't mean that it isn't, especially if it's creeping toward sex work under the extremely thinly veiled guise of food service. But I guess if you can make baseless assumptions counter to the only available facts, like: Shooting Blanks posted:...my guess is that the article is slightly misleading - the company probably offered to pay for representation, had the employees sign off it, and then he plead guilty on their behalf as their representation. That's scummy as poo poo but perfectly legal. ... then you can probably wash your hands of anything. Surely the "scummy" managers must've offered to pay hundreds of dollars an hour to an attorney to represent their entry-level hourly-wage employees, individually, who are paid out of the goodness of their hearts. That's what scummy managers are best know for!

Just because you don't want labor to be exploitative doesn't mean that it isn't, especially if it's creeping toward sex work under the extremely thinly veiled guise of food service. My point was that yes, all labor is exploitation, but that's the world we live in. I don't go to these places, but they clearly have a market. And that's not really a baseless assumption - it says quite clearly that the company paid for a lawyer to represent them, and that he plead guilty on their behalf and stuck them with a criminal record. Unless you're saying something else that statement is an assumption, in which case I'd love to hear which part.

All customer complaints in this industry is bullshit and any manager who takes them seriously is a complete dumbass.... I got a complaint last night cause I switched up two teenage girls drinks.... One had a Diet Coke the other regular Coke... There loving MOM called the restaurant to make a complaint about it. Jesus Christ people.

My manager would roll her eyes at that complaint and throw it out, as would our corporate office. That being said I'm usually extra careful with diet soda because you don't know who's diabetic and who's not. On that note, we had an SEO place call on a SUNDAY. I told them to call the corporate office and hung up and continued working.

Were you distracted by your attempts to "get down" with them?

If I accidentally get served a diet soda Ib politely ask the server to fix their mistake rather than wait and complain later.

Actually, diet Coke is specifically formulated to taste different from regular Coke. I can't find the article but my recollection is that it was designed to compete with Diet Pepsi after Diet Pepsi effectively won the diet soda war when Tab dropped off and Diet Pepsi came to dominate that market segment.

I just avoid them generally now.
