La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant Jesse, Owners Father Verbally abused and humiliated in front of customers and co workers Gainesville, Florida
My very first week of work went smoothly, everyone was nice and i enjoyed being there. The second week was still okay, but that's when Jesse started correcting me in everything I did. I just thought of it as him trying to help me. Then, things just started going downhill from there. He was expecting me to do five things at once, just stuff i cannot possibly do. Then he started yelling at he told me I was one of the worst servers he has ever had. He questioned my experience as a server, every time he thought I was doing something wrong to him, he threatened me and told me he was going to make me a hostess. He even made me sit out and miss a few tables just to make me study the menu. I missed out on money I could have been making because he wanted to quiz me. He pulled me aside all the time just to complain and tell me to focus and I need to be doing everything. One time I just looked at my cellphone and he took it away from me and wouldn't give it back until i finished all my work. When he did give it back to me he just yelled at me some more. While I serve tables he hovers over me. When i leave me table he always ask them if they need anything else. One time, while we were busy, a man came and joined the table I was serving. We were really busy and I did not make it to that table yet. He was only sitting there for a few minutes and he started yelling at me because I didn't bring him his coke yet. It was only a few minutes and he gave them a free appetizer and dessert, but my guests said it was no big deal because they were just talking. Then he yells at me some more for being such a terrible server. I went home numerous times crying because he just embarrasses me in front of guests. Last week I called in and told them I couldn't make it to work because of the accidents that shut down I-75. I was in Tampa and couldn't make it to work. I was scheduled for four days that week, and they just crossed me out of the entire scheduled for the week. I didn't work one day that week. I went into work today and I was serving my tables, i went back to the kitchen to get drinks for my guests and Jesse stopped me and asked me what I was doing there. I told him I was working, and Jesse said "I thought we fired you last week, your named was crossed out" I said no, I'm on the schedule this week. After I explained why I couldn't make it to work Monday he told me I must be one of the dumbest waitresses we have ever had. I just walked away and busted out in tears. I asked one of my co-workers to finish my tables for me and to just tell Dave I Quit. I couldn't take the verbal abuse anymore. I never wanted to go to work because I was scared of what Jesse was going to say to me that day. I've worked in a few other restaurants and I have never experienced the verbal abuse and humiliation as I did at La Fiesta.
