Exactly what you'd expect working as a server in a restaurant but... - Server Bluestone Lane Employee Review

Fun, appreciate weekly deposits, great coffee, nice uniform

Rude customers, expensive, etc, eetc

It's a job, you get paid. The drinks and food are good too, and you get a free meal on your lunch break.

The base salary is 11.50, customer tips are expected to cover the rest of the gap between that and the current minimum wage, which is enough pocket money for a teenager but is not enough to sustain an adult living in NYC. They're also a bit understaffed. New employee training is messy and unstructured and you are expected to know much of it on your own. Employees do basic cleaning every day, but the cafe desperately needed a deeper cleaning. All of the shelves, bathroom plants, and bathroom wall trim had a fairly thick layer of dust, and the furniture was clearly very used. The place just never felt fully clean.
