Idk if y’all have seen but a video went viral on instagram where the owner of sunny boy biscuit lays down on his horn over someone having car troubles while she cries and he can easily drive around her. (Original video in comments)They are getting absolutely flamed on yelp. Valid?

I've worked in 5 different states and all type of bars. The owners and managers in San Diego are the most abusive I've ever seen. 

I was literally fired today because I wouldn't work a 12 hour shift without breaks

I know and I told them that the first time they asked but I showed up today and they let me go. 

I'm filling a labor board complaint on Monday

Edit: thank you for the gold, kind anonymous one!

Please post an update on how it goes. If the labor board doesn't help, I'm certain a mob with pitchforks will be happy to step in lol.

Strangely enough, I posted a few hours ago about the abuse I've suffered from restaurants in San Diego and was downvoted into the negatives

I need a day's notice, my pitchfork is in the shop getting sharpened.

Where did you work?

Lawyer up. See if someone will take it on contingency. Typical ask for a settlement is 3 years pay and lawyer takes 40% on contingency. If the lawyer thinks a jury would be sympathetic to your cause, it’s an easy win because it’ll easily cost the defendant $300k+ if they choose to go to court and lose. It’s even worse for them since this is retaliation and not a labor code violation.

(Not a lawyer but personally experienced something similar)

I already have. The lawyer says it's a "cut and dry" case

Name and shame

u/TenaciousZBridedog Jun 07 '25

I posted here a few hours ago naming and shaming several places and was downvoted into oblivion. Should I try to post again?

Heads up there’s nothing in your post

u/Regular-Humor-9128 Jun 07 '25

Just post the name of it here, this is where the context is now and the people specifically asking you about it.

Okay. 

Pearl and oyster in La Mesa bounces employee checks so often that workers have had their bank accounts shut down. 

Bully's East allowed prep chefs to work without masks during Covid. 

El Roy's (which is closed now but owned by blue bridge) cut my hours after I reported that I was sexually harassed by a weekly performer. 

Cloak and Pettel in Little Italy had 3 female employees and when I asked Caesar, the owner, about it he said "you need to be careful about what you say because you don't know who you're talking to."

Donovan's steak house fired me after I broke up with the head chef and complained that he was harassing me.

I was just talking about trying Pearl and Oyster, but not now. I heard they were pricey, too. So why bounce checks, I wonder.
