Yeah, those are reasonable expectations at that pay rate.

    And it seems they want you to pay for your own drug test 😅

    i get the hard drugs… but man at least let us have weed and tobacco…

    When I was doing hiring, I’ve always said that the kitchens that drug test are the kitchens that aren’t staffed. If you can’t tell in an interview or a stage, cool. If something pops up down the line, whatever. Handle it then.

    Non-smoker in a kitchen is just delusional!

    I would bring them a piss filled beer bottle.

  5. Not sure if you know that the phone number is still quite legible. In case you wanted to pull it for your privacy. However, if you wanted to leave it legible, I’m sure there might be people out there with some very serious inquiries they would like to call that restaurant about.

    Sounds fun ..what kinda drugs they got you testing?

  7. LordoftheJives

    Man, it’s a real mystery why so many kitchens are short staffed. I guess nobody wants to work!

    And because you aren’t going to do anything productive with your 2 hour break, it’s effectively a 10 hour day for 11.20 an hour

    14$ for a for 6 days a week and split shift? Miss me with all of that.

    100 percent I’m bringing in a negative pee on a stick pregnancy test

  11. Darthmullet

    I made that in 2010. $14 then is worth more than $20 today. Crazy.

    One of my past head chefs preferred hiring cooks with fast food or corporate kitchen, think franchises like IHOP, Red Robin, Outback Steakhouse, etc., experience because they tended to do the same work except at a faster pace.

    My job involves me working with people that run restaurants. Not just cooks and GMS but the owners. Yeah. That sounds about right. These people are completely out of touch with reality. At best they give low ball pre pandemic pay rates. All they can remember back in the 90’s paying like $3.50 an hour and why can’t people just be happy with that when a loaf of bread costs the same amount.

    I made that at my first line cook job back in 2007. They also didn’t care if I was a smoker, didn’t drug test, and didn’t do split shifts

  15. I will never understand this disinterest in bringing on people from fast food. I’ve met so many people that came from it and some can bang it out, and I’ve met plenty of CIA grads that couldn’t deseed a lemon. Lack of desire to teach is weak and it frustrates me sometimes.

    Split shifts 6 days a week. Lunacy for $14 hour. You can get a job taking the money at McDonalds for $16-17 an hour.

    Area code looks like it says “225” which would put it in Baton Rouge. Based on ZipRecruiter, it would put this at the lower end of a starting line cook position… so sad.

  18. Bright-End-9317

    Fuck split shifts like that… “Did you want to have ANY time for yourself today… well FUCK YOU!”

  19. Bluecricket5

    My expectations are if you’re asking me to give up my nights and weekends, you’re gonna have to make it worth it. 14 is a joke

  20. Nice_Cost_1375

    Fast food wages for restaurant level employees who pay for their own drug test?

    The owner needs a drug test.

  21. CommanderBuck

    These MFers out here acting like it’s 2010.

    Bad employers do NOT deserve good employees!

    Young people in this field, please, get out while you have the energy.

    Take it from an old timer. Being a good cook/server/dishy/bartender isn’t worth the effort. All the energy, heartache, anxiety, and stress is soooooo much better spent learning to do nearly anything else.

    These people literally don’t value you 😭

    Seeing shit like this is so far past disrespectful it breaks my fucking heart.

  22. Admirable-Walk3826

    A non smoker? That cuts out half of the industry and isnt even the only thing wrong with this 😂

  23. Fine-Bumblebee-9427

    Barely minimum wage, split shift with two hour break, and nonsmoker who can pass a drug test? They’re shooting for the moon.

  24. Economy-Bar1189

    ….. i just got a FOH job for 18.50/ hr plus tip pool.

    pay your goddamn kitchen properly. they work so hard

  25. YetiorNotHereICome

    “Full time 30+ hr/wk”

    Well which is it?

  26. Life-Gur-2616

    I work at a breakfast restaurant and I make a couple bucks short of DOUBLE what they start you at a very very fancy hotel where celebrities come and stay/eat. I can’t imagine the stress/anxiety that comes with working there too lol.

  27. Hughjammer

    Perfect.

    At $12 an hour I couldn’t afford drugs anyway.

    Or rent.

    Or food.
