A new low and a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act - Anonymous employee Waffle House Employee Review

Waffle House has hit a new Low the big thing now cross train the wait staff to be cooks, why pay a cook when you can just not schedule one and use the wait staff at 2 bucks an hour, they are cooking for their customers. It’s well known they have been violating the Fair Labor Standards Act with the side work that is un tipped and often the second and mid night shift spend more time cleaning than waiting tables. When more than 20 % of a tipped employees time is spent doing duties other than waiting tables then the company is getting Chinese labor rate. Often the night shift is doing exactly that. IF you work for them watch your hours! If you are a new hire and they tell you its 10 hour shift and full time that's a lie.
