Upper management turned a blind eye, then when I was upper management I too obviously turned a blind eye haha.
Going down to train staff and open the new location in Miami was probably one of the best two weeks of my life. I think I slept 10 hours total

Yeah...that sounds like the exact opposite of the experience I had working there.
$100 a week gift card on food, translates into what? $30/week on actual food costs to the restaurant, yet would make such a dramatic difference in the attitudes of the employees. I just don't get how some businesses make the decision they do.
