I have many badly behaved bartenders under me- but it's not fair to deduct their salary- it's my job to hire good people and when we do well I take the profits, so why should they take the losses when we dont?

I had a walkout on a hundred dollar tab last night and I brushed it off- the hospitality industry is an echo chamber of stress and my staff don't need that

I have a salary system that's heavy on perks, and I can withdraw perks for poor performance

well because it didnt say "female". just image the outrage if he only wanted to give female customers straws if they asked.

I think it's poor sense for a company to financially dock a person. They could instead just make notes in the file, and 3 notes you sign, they fire you. It's the proverbial warnings you sign that prevent you from wrongful firing and unemployment claims. In a right-to-work state the reasons are all stupid procedures anyway. You can be terminated for no reason at all. Some idiot is running the business, but his heart is in the right place for "phone out" and not exercising good customer service. The cheapness on straws is probably cheapness, not environmental reasons. There are restaurants I've been to that do not serve water on the table unless you ask for it. I suppose they were bothered by untouched glasses and wasted water and ice. That's cheap, but would make sense in places there is water restriction, like on islands with desal plants charging $2/gal out of the tap, or places where it's caught rainwater treated at a premium. So, by law, they have to provide water, but it's going to cost them the same as bottled water, really. I don't even understand the check item at the bottom, asian engrish or maybe I'm just clueless about the industry.

Have you had to manage teenagers, ever? They are always on their phones and completely worthless if distracted. Hitting them in their bank account sends a clear, effective message.

the straw thing is because in some areas, men avoid straw because it involves putting something in your mouth and sucking on it, which make it "gay" to them, so basically to them receiving a straw unprompted is interpreted as being accused of being gay.

I dont really think they can "enforce" it. Think of how when we go to the movies they ask you to put your phone away. Most people do. However some asshole will always leave it on or play games, chat, whatever. If it bothers another patron you are asked put away the phone or to leave. Same instance here. People know beforehand that phone use is not advocated in the restaurant and they will ask you to put the phone away or leave. It's not about rubbing people the wrong way it's about the owners wanting people to enjoy a conversation and engage in life outside of social media.

Chicago, San Antonio, Oregon, France etc. Owners do this all over. It can't be enforced. It is requested to not use your phone at the table or excuse yourself if necessary.

Boy my job is surveillance at a casino. If I see a phone out in view of the public I smack 'em with a write up. You agreed to work and while on the clock browsing your phone is not working. We give dealers 15 min breaks every 45 minutes, most other departments get 1 30 minute lunch, two 15 minute breaks for an 8 hour shift.

You can always find something to do. Clean tables, dump bottle deposit stations, check machines for abandoned money. Prep food or clean your damn work station. Only time I feel bad for someone is if they're doing a job that tethers them to one location; the dealers and the security officers. Security gets screwed, but like I said dealers get 15 min breaks every 45 minutes and if you've got an empty table I'm sure a suit will come by and talk with ya because they're probably bored outta their minds too.

If your family want to contact you it can either wait until a break or you pay. Think of it like a collect charge call - is taking the call worth a dollar to you?

I can tell this is a vietnamese restaurant. Vietnamese restaurant's owners are a bunch of cheapskates, petty, and most of the time very uneducated. Their materialistic tendency make them think a fine or a deduction of pay is the best way to whip their employees to shape and make them work harder. In Europe, they'd take your tips as well and pay you the bare minimum wage. I've seen so much shit I couldn't put up with while working for them. It made me wonder why the fuck would anyone work for these kind of people.

I've worked in places that did not allow me to be on the phone because I'm an ICU nurse.
If my father were in hospital I'd go to the head nurse and say so and she'd tell me that of course I could have my phone on me for something like that. She'd probably switch me to a low-risk patient as well.

What are you hiring robots?
I've been more than my managers and directors since I was like 25 or so. That had nothing to do with contacts, it has to do with honesty, ability and experience and the willingness to execute. Honesty is very important and I never got any jobs through "contacts."
If I sucked I wouldn't have been able to keep any of those jobs more than a few weeks. That's why I like getting H1B types fired, especially the ones (all of them) that obfuscate their work on purpose to keep that H1B shit going.

My younger brother has a serious heart condition and could need to go to the hospital at the drop of a hat. On top of that, I have other younger siblings and my dad works full time over an hour away from our house. If my mom needs to take my brother to the hospital, the other children would need to be watched. It's a lot easier to just call and say "get home, I'm taking your brother to the hospital" than it is to find a babysitter.
At the same time, what if something serious were to happen to you, the manager who took the phones? I can't imagine your mother calling and saying she's in the hospital from a car accident and you saying "I'll be there as soon as I can, just let me open the safe to give my workers their phones back". And if you don't give them back, and you're still at the hospital passed your worker's shifts, I would think that'd be similar to stealing their phone.

I'm not doubting there are teens who dick around on their phone while on company time, but the attitude of not even giving the opportunity for someone to prove they aren't a shitty worker who is going to do to that dissuades people from wanting to work for that employer. Tell your workers the rules, and if they violate them, fire them. If you're not willing to do that, keep more attention on them or maybe do a better job interviewing them before you hire them.

Samefag and obsessed retard
The point of banning phones in restaurants has nothing to do with taking pictures and everything to do with having people be present in the moment and enjoying their food and company.
Don't like it? Don't go to a place that prohibits cell phone use. They'll be happier without your retarded ass. I don't know why you've become so fixated on the photography aspect when that was never the point. No one is going to take your phone, but if they so choose, they can refuse to serve you and ask you to leave, and arrest you if you don't. That's the full right of a private business.

>as a private individual shouldn't I be allowed a cell and wireless blocker
No, because it's illegal.
"...the FCC specifically says that “it is a violation of federal law to use a cell jammer or similar devices that intentionally block, jam, or interfere with authorized radio communications such as cell phones, police radar, GPS, and Wi-Fi.""
