View submission: Coffee Emporium Situation???
Wait what’s wrong with Barrett’s management? I love that place but don’t want to support terrible management. 😭

I worked there for about a year and started before they opened. They agreed to pay most of us a decent hourly wage and then about two months in when business declined, they took most peoples pay way down. I’m talking $16 to $14 an hour. The place is full of bugs and mold (like mold on a roll of tape. It’s disgusting) and the actual owners are very fake. When I started, I was (and still am) a full time college student and couldn’t afford to be buying brand new shoes. I had non slips (the bare minimum) that I could afford but Carrie Barrett would talk about me and my shoe choice to anyone that would listen. She got to a point where she said “you’re making more money than chef, no reason you can’t buy a new pair of shoes” I kid you not. I was in fact NOT making more than the owner of the restaurant in case anyone was curious. They’re awful people and have decreased the quality of their food to save money. It’s foul behavior from people who have spent so much time making customers and employees believe they’re benefiting our community
