Endless Shrimp is by far my least favorite promo. Although I agree that this company could care less about its hourly staff, and that half of the people I work with are complete losers, I have managed to make the most of it. I have a set schedule that I like, health insurance, and have made some really amazing life-long friends working there. Not to mention, I have also been able to travel and transfer within the company a few times. We get more than our share of unsavory, non-classy horrible tippers, but I've always managed to make enough to keep a nice apartment in the city and even though it took longer than it should have, I paid for school out of pocket. This was my last AYCE as well! Use it...don't let it use you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-82971347967040131922011-12-08T23:31:06.038-06:002011-12-08T23:31:06.038-06:00Words of advice to people in this column. Your wo...Words of advice to people in this column. Your work place is what you make of it. There are many people at my RL that are great and many that are drug addicts and pieces of ****. I see so many people who complain about these things but when they are asked about them they don't know anything. They have to maintain there rep with those assholes to stay in the good graces. Our hands are tied at the next level and without your help we can not fix it. Even when we venture to other jobs the bs will always be there just at a different level.jrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643136663105529029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-79152266018990099592011-10-31T00:00:03.126-05:002011-10-31T00:00:03.126-05:00I currently work at red lobster and that place is ...I currently work at red lobster and that place is a shit hole. I'm a certified trainer and I get dicked over more then any other server. I do as the managers say and continuously get treated liked shit. I work with losers and drug addicts, AND endless shrimp is the worst promo, people are greedy and cheap. Yesterday during the snow storm I was off but got called into work, was told i'd get cut early and was lied to and ended up closing, working 12 hours with no break, and getting a five dollar tip off of a $180.00 check. -_-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-36336598966915520712011-10-30T13:41:47.388-05:002011-10-30T13:41:47.388-05:00We have beebn to the local RL and the servers had ...We have beebn to the local RL and the servers had bad attitude, we jumped up and went to a different part of the restaurant and got better service..Never on AYCE shrimp though that is just too much bullshit for the servers and people are really pigs when that promo comes around, no we get the Admirals plate and enjoy it a lot, tip about 30 percent, washington state does not pay servers much at all, but one cannot go out and eat over $56.00 worth of food, hot tea for me, coke for my hubby and not tip well...there really is a special place in hell for people who get over $56.00 worth of food, beverages (always non alcoholic) and don't tip well, just stay home cheap asses, we are not in that category!!!!!!

Do they thaw out five pounds of shrimp at home to eat for supper, my guess is no. Appearantly the thing to do is come in and gorge yourself with shrimp, then leave me your 3 dollar tip after you've occupied a booth of mine for an hour and a half. FML!!! What will I do without the good ol' RL blog?!?!?!?!Sarah Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-2544352654743291762011-10-14T09:56:55.312-05:002011-10-14T09:56:55.312-05:00I have been to Red Lobster Restaurant near my plac...I have been to Red Lobster Restaurant near my place and though I saw some attitude with some of the servers the restaurant manager always try to keep things smooth....I think this happens in all restaurants that too when there is going to be a lot of refills due to endless shrimp....

Go to Oreg...You're working in the wrong state. Go to Oregon...Min. wage is $8.50 and goes to $8.90 per hour in 2012. They have to pay their servers minimum wage...not some BS wage and you get the rest in tips.
