Red Lobster was close to my school, I knew the system, I knew contacts in the Red Lobster system that could make sure I got an interview, and compared to other chain resturants, Red Lobster's per guest and ticket averages are far higher so that's where I decided to go. I could work at a high end place (and might be making that transition this summer) but when I first started school that wasn't an option because I needed the flexibility of the RL schedule. I was doing just fine at RL until they started this stupid 3 table BS. I certainly had my complaints, but they were things I could/would live with.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the "right to work state", I know that affects unionizing, but I don't think it prohibits it. My current state is also a R2WS and there are restaurants taht are unionized. Contact a union in your area and see where it takes you.Lobster Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915814696810767679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-1141160864976677662006-02-28T15:07:00.000-06:002006-02-28T15:07:00.000-06:00I'm a RL server too and I definitely feel your pai...I'm a RL server too and I definitely feel your pain! We're experiencing the same CRAP at our resturant - we use to be Diamond Club now we're struggling and after 4 GM's in 2 yrs.; lack of stability; additional side work - now we have to breakdown and clean the salad bar areas (our AC's get $10/hr. we get $2.13)we're frustrated beyond words! We want to unionize too but I don't know where to contact a Union Rep. Do you? We are also in a "Right to Work" state in the south...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-1141141530216766422006-02-28T09:45:00.000-06:002006-02-28T09:45:00.000-06:00You sound like an educated, eloquent and responsib...You sound like an educated, eloquent and responsible person. Could you tell us why you choose to stay in this environment? You could be at a restaurant that treats employees better. Or even work at a management level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
