This was around 10 years ago at a Sandton based eatery/whatever called The Sands. Disgusting!

[@reinemarais4392]

This is a symptom rather than a cause. The real cause is that there are more workers than there are jobs. There is a 42% unemployment rate. When there are more jobs than there are workers, a lot of malpractice around employment dissipates. The government needs to provide an environment where investors want to invest to build factories and farms that provide jobs. South Africa doesn't have that. The infrastructure is not conducive to investing money in the country. See Eskom. Without reliable electricity, there is no point in opening for business, particularly within the hospitality industry. Taxes collected by SARS are either squandered on things like massive parliamentary staffing or by corruption and nepotism, so even teachers and nurses are being retrenched. Fix the causes rather than dealing with the symptoms.

How then do you trust such people if you are wise? The anc does not have ideas and plans to change the lives of South Africans and all they know is the renewal of themselves as if people must give them time again. What South Africans need to tell themselves is that there's life even if the anc is not there.

On Saturday every single one of them didn't show for work - They said it was too cold. As a result they were short staffed. Every single one of his foreign staff showed up.

The people next door told me it had been closed by the health authorities. Dear me! But I didn't take it too seriously until a few weeks later I saw it was open again but obviously still being renovated. So I walked in and introduced myself to the new owner and explained that I had been a regular under the old owners. 'Come through into the kitchen,' he invited. So I did. The old appliances had been ripped out. They weren't cleanable, he told me. The rest of the kitchen made me almost throw up where I stood...

What Wendy is saying would be an ideal situation but it is not what is happening. For example; there is no agreement between a waiter and there employer, the employer tells you how much commission you will be paid as a waiter. From that commission, you still have to pay for breakages whether you reach the minimum wage or not.

[@karabomophiring4227]

Correct. The restaurant employers use the commission-based system to bypass labour laws. That industry is highly extractive and exploitative.

[@Kevinpillay323]

You pay for breakages and wastage from the tip earned by the collective service of the restaurant but the owner allows you to hold it and pay for damages caused during the service to the customer and you and you alone are allowed to keep it . Stop lying . tell everyone how much is your collective earning .

[@PhillipDlulane]

I don't understand why you say I am lying 😅😅. Let me break it down for you, I earn 2% commissions of my total sales for the day plus tips. I pay R10 breakages for a R1000 in sales that I make for that particular shift. Now look for an example; if I make R 1500 sales for the whole shift, that means I get about R20 commission and from that, they take R10 for breakages then I'm left with R10 plus my tip. Now tell me who can stand for 10 hours for R10? And that is excluding my tips

[@PhillipDlulane]

My suggestion is that to the owners, they should make it mandatory for all guests to pay 10% or more to the waiters so that when you give the customer's bill, then you know that your tip is already included on that bill

Really? They train in the kitchen, bar and service. They are tested on the menu. They then run for waitrons before they get to keep their tips. They have to buy their uniforms, bottle openers, breakages, cutlery and dish cloths. Their tips exceeding a certain amount are paid in to the restaurant. They do not get a basic. Their card tips are kept by the restaurant and a percentage is paid to the waitrons at the end of the month. At the end of the month, the card tips are paid to them. They also pay an amount to the kitchen staff. They do not get UIF, bonuses, paid annual/sick leave or maternity leave. They clean the restaurant. Their restroom visits are limited. They work long hours. They have to bring their own food and not given breaks. Sometimes, they make no tips and cannot get to work or home. They also have to keep a float not provided by the restaurant. Then as a newbie, they are given 'dead areas so no money is made. Favoritism is rife as is discrimination. So yes, you pay for the food. Your tip is for the service. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The legal age in SA is 15 however the probability legal companies would take a kid whos that young and lacks the final years of schooling is slim. Let alone the dangers of employing a teenager.

Connected to that most companies can clearly not make a profit if they have to continues train staff meant to be ready to go. A workshop or training facility is a seperate expense vs. a full time employees expectations. SAs 30% education makes our foreign neighbours and overseas job seekers look far more appealing as 80% pass rates are just a fakeout to the true reality of SA kids poor results = poor employee choices. Students protesting and entitlements at universities just puts a fat no on next years employment opportunities. 50% BEE and 30% shares apartheid agendas = lower employment numbers and a cut in profits, but a more stable company with less pitfalls and probabilities of racial/union/qouta issues.

For me It’s a combination of things, some of which stem from our history of apartheid in South Africa. Yes home affairs needs to do better in managing undocumented immigrants, the Employment and Labour Department need to do more in regulating and ensuring companies are complaint with the laws they have set up, because people will always try cutting corners white or black. Associations like RASA need to be more diligent and develop a sense of pride when doing business. Because I can tell you now if we’d go to their website under the “about section” they surely speak of values and visions they stand by of which is questionable But my real issue here is a lack of patriotism. I’m sorry to say but majority of white South Africans can’t even differentiate whether you’re a black South African or not, I don’t know if it’s ignorance or what. Because I may not always be correct but I am able to identify, maybe it’s just me by simply looking at physical features and listening for tone in acsent that this person is South African and which tribe he or she may belong too. Now unfortunately having a CEO who isn’t in tune with such things or has little to no understanding of the 13 different languages or cultures will have no clue whether things are going wrong and so the blame game continues all at the expense of the vulnerable society.

😡I have to call out BUTCHER BOYS umhlanga Durban as the WORST OWNER(we had a personal encounter with HER), she demands you tip the waiter in full the percentage of your bill(irrespective of the signage on the table stating you can tip at your own discretion) she under pays them and its your responsibility to compensate for that....i was so highly pregnant and ,her exact words was "its fine that we don't come back if we unhappy with the tipping story) we dont consume alcohol, dont even know what the bartender look like and was told he needed to be tipped as well 😦🫣
