Miranda knows that she can continue to pocket a majority of the restaurant profits if she can get the staff to blame each other for their discontentments.
Na, Miranda is just an exploited shift manager who is making $3.00 above minimum wage that her profit stealing owner has convinced her will eventually turn into a fine quality of life if she just keep her nose to the grindstone so that she will turn around and fire her “underperforming” minimum wage underlings that will happily do something that damages their brain just to make 20 minutes of their 4 hour burrito rolling shift go by faster.
There is a good chance there was no whip-it (bop-it!) person either. This can read as someone promising raises and having another agenda, tying them together, and wham bam here’s your letter.
To me it isn’t just slashing the promise of a raise, it’s creating a reason to install cameras because someone wants eyes where they didn’t have them before. Assuming this post is true, I smell an update down the road.
A high end camera and install might cost $1,000. Not exactly enough to cover “raises.” More than likely it will be a $100 shitty wi-fi camera. This is such bull shit.
“You were each TOTALLY going to get an extra $.67 a month, if not for fucking Darren over here who forgot to thank me for his employment this morning in the daily thank you ceremony. You guys don’t get it… you think this is easy? Anyways I’m also doubling all your rents.”
“Disregard that last part, forgot you weren’t my ungrateful tenants, because of course I’m also a landlord.”
Oh but they would if they could! I can see it now, a national restaurant chain that only does mixed zoning restaurants. Apartments are staff only and cheaper than market. But your boss is also your landlord. Now when workers “churn” you can have them evicted and taken to court for debt too!
And if you bring in workers from other countries, you can hold their work visas in the balance if they are found to ever be outside of either the restaurant or the employee housing!
And saddest of all, I worked at a restaurant where the owner actually did this… He was never directly held accountable for what amounted to indentured slavery essentially, but thankfully he was forced to sell eventually due to a backlog of unpaid labor disputes and sexual harassment lawsuits.
I mean, just lock up the nitrous chargers. Put them in the office or the liquor room or whatever. They don’t need to be kept in the walk-in.
If this manager is buying readi-whip or any other pre-made whipped cream canisters, they deserve to be fired from both a culinary and business standpoint. (I don’t think those kinds of canisters need to be kept refrigerated anyway.)
A. They do need to be refrigerated.
B. Why would a manager get fired for buying whipped cream??
When I worked at a Chick-Fil-A, ready whip cans were used for the milkshakes, but nothing else. The magnet holding this sign up is also the same as the backing for the name badges used there.
Do you think a fast food chain should be making whipped cream to order?

Yeah that security camera is an excuse. They only cost a few hundred bucks.
TIL Miranda is doing whip-its in the walk-in and trying to blame her staff.
Classic Miranda rights
I never understood, what exactly do they do? (More descriptive than ‘high’ please.)
They’re snorting the gas off of cans of whipped cream.
There were never any raises. This is just guilt-tripping bullshit.

There were probably never any “whip-its” (lol) either.
I mean how would she know someone was doing it, but not know who it was?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but a camera is like $200. It sounds like the raises would’ve been shit anyway. Everyone should quit.
Miranda, you work in a kitchen if your staff isn’t high (with Kevlar gloves) you’re probably mismanaging that kitchen.
What makes me believe this is real is because the sign is using a fucken name tag magnet
It’s the little details.
Whip-its? Is this a Class of 09 reference? /s
that $0.01 pay rise could’ve kept someone off the streets!
Miranda seems like a proper Berkeley Hunt.

That $100 is like three fiffy each.
Any time someone goes, “I would have done X, if only…”
No they fucking wouldn’t. Because they’re a shitty manipulative human.
