Would you Still Eat There?

As a society, we have the habit of complaining about trivial things. I remember when I started my first job that I thought it was just ridiculous that we had to sweep and pick up trash from the parking lot. I had never realized how minor the complaints we had were until my previous job at Verona’s. The head cook, Cole, came from Albania and is also the co-owner of the restaurant. Because he has such authority, and assuming because of his culture, Cole believes he has the right to act as he chooses. His complete lack of respect for Health Code, the inappropriate comments to female workers, and his sexist views are outrageous and must be corrected.
I have worked in the food industries for seven years, I understand and respect the importance of Health Code. I was astonished when I walked into the back kitchen on my first day to see a cigarette hanging out of Cole’s mouth while he was cooking. Being surprised by, this I asked our head waitress about the smoking policy. She informed me that, although both cooks smoke and drink in the kitchen, nobody is allowed to confront them. Germs are obviously not a concern for this restaurant. Many times pizza would slide off the pan and land on the floor, but if the appearance was not ruined they would send it out to the table. The main violation that concerned me was the reuse of bread. All tables would get a basket of rolls for their meals. When a table did not eat all of the bread, we were to take what remained and place them in a dry, clean dish tub so it was not wasted by being thrown away.
The head waitress was involved in my interview and hiring with Cole. When she called me to offer me a job, she said “Ya know, all Cole cares about is if the waitress is attractive and has a nice body, but I was impressed with your experience.” Even though this was completely uncalled for and offended me, I still started work. At least once a night, Cole will be touching or have his arms around one of the girls he finds attractive. The uncomfortableness that they feel is unacceptable. I’ve heard stories about a cook getting fired because of dating a girl Cole thought was attractive and Cole firing girls for not putting up with him. The issue for us “unattractive girls” is constantly being ignored or being yelled at.
Being treated like worthless trash because I am a girl is one of the most angering things I have experienced. I was told on my first day that I should never speak to Cole unless absolutely necessary. At first, I thought this was understandable since they are busy back in the kitchen most of the time and do not need distractions. One day when I said hello to Cole and asked how he was, I realized that was not the reason they told me not to talk to him. The look on his face showed that he was offended that I spoke to him, and he screamed “NO TALKING! WORK, WORK IS WORK. YOU DON’T SPEAK.” Remembering that my coworkers told me not to let anything he says to get to me, I brushed it off. It was not until the day he sent me home because he heard me humming that I began to let me affect me.
There are always other reasons to complain at work, but one should try to look at important issues. No person should have to work in an environment such as this. Serious changes must be made in this company. People should never questions their self-worth, especially the younger girls, because of the way someone treats them. Nor should customers served something of lesser quality with bacteria because the company wants to save money and ignore guidelines.
