Red sauce owner unfair

[Mikiem]

My wife was hired at the Red Sauce for a hostess position. She worked one day and decided not to accept the job because she was offered a position at a restaurant in The Villages that treats its female employees with respect. Ever since then Rick the owner refuses to pay my wife for the one day that she did work. Rick then verbally assualted my wife outside his restaurant and called her a "bimbo waitress like the rest of my crew" after trying to collect her wages for the one day. Seems to me like he he hates women and thinks females are a inferior being. Please be cautious of this man.

[bkcunningham1]

If he owes her wages and verbally abused her take it to the Labor Relations Board. If she doesn't have any witnesses on the assault, she most likely won't go far with that one. But she will get her money.

[DDoug]

I learned a long time ago labor relations will not do any thing for you unless you have a contract with a company just give it up. Also I don't know why any one would eat at Red Sauce the food is awful. No I don't work there and I have no stake in any part of it . It is just the food is awful.

[bkcunningham1]

DDoug, I don't know what your past experience has been with the Labor Relations Board, but if you have a legitiment dispute with wages they will assist you in getting your pay.

For one day's wages I would sue in small claims court. I have no idea what the "full story" is on this, but if she worked for just 1 hour, she is entitled to that pay and there is no possible excuse for her not getting it. Heck....call 1-800-Judge Judy!

Two sides to every story

[bonniemangione]

This is Bonnie Mangione I am very upset with the owner of the red sauce, mind you I have always been a loyal customer and am new here at the villages so have been really taken back with enjoying sitting outside in the middle of winter and lets face it the red sauce has made it very comfortable to do so. I was offered a job at the red sauce in september lucky for me I was offered 2 other jobs in the same week. And making this very hard to decide but I attended a employee meeting and worked a 6.5 hr shift at the red sauce and enjoyed it very much, however after a couple of hrs there that day I was informed to beware of how I will be treated by the owner, now that wasnt the first time I was warned but it was just hard for me to believe because I have always had a very nice relationship with all of the people from there including the owner. At this point in time I decided to take another job I am 56yrs old and the last thing I need is a stressful job rick said he understood and said sometimes its better to have a good customer verses a good employee. Since then I have gone there a dozen times asking for my pay check I have even spoke to rick and he said he was sorry and would get that done for me. Well last nite I happened to see him and OMG he was irrate telling me I got my check told me to come into the office he will check once I got in there he became irrate again yelling at me and telling me I got paid and I was probley drunk when I cashed it and just dont remember he would not stop when I walked out he followed me through the resturant and outside where he continued with my husband and I. Now im from buffalo new york so I found it very hard to keep my mouth shut but he didnt care refered me as a bimbo employee of his the whole thing was unbelieveable and im not even sure who i spoke with last nite cause that is not the rick I have known since May 2011 he looked at me like he didnt even no me. And just for the record I have never Been Drunk at the red sauce I am the dd for car and cart so I am baffeled but I want MY CHECK, work is work YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE ME just pay me, PS I am so glad I choose the right job God works in strange ways. And to all that have jobs NO ONE has to take verbal or any abuse from your employer you can help to stop it. Not sure what to do next but I cant let it go its not the money its the principle and lack of respect.

[PennBF]

I have often said that it is much more easy to deal with a person over money as opposed to "principle". Good for you Bonnie. It would be worth going to Small Claims since he must provide a copy of the check he paid you and supporting proof. Rest assured we will not use Red Sause as a restaurant. :cus:

[memason]

I don't mean to be cold hearted, but why post this on TOTV. Obviously, no one on here can correct this grievance. It only serves to make folks not want to patronize an establishment, who may or may not be at fault. We only get one side of the story...

Sorry, I just don't get it...

[Uptown Girl]

For what it's worth, I would be inclined to let it go, rather than prolong the frustration and emotional upset making a claim with the labor board and following through with what's required. (been there, done that.)

Even if her hourly wage was $40, clearing your aura and being free of the negativity of regurgitating the unpleasantness is, in my opinion, worth far more than a few bucks. Letting go of the need for 'justice' is also quite liberating.

Was she treated with poor business etiquette? Absolutely.
Did her quitting leave him in the lurch during holiday season? Most probably.

This experience has provided the contrast to help your bride decide where she really prefers to work. That's the gift.

Bonnie, these posts are doing you more harm than good, especially for such a small sum of money.

It is not worth it to put a rant out on internet against an employer, where all employers look for indications of a job applicant's character.

I would go to small claims court with the claim, and I would ask for this thread to be removed so it doesn't live on for years, affecting your reputation.

[Russ_Boston]

Small claims court? Seriously? How much could she be paid for 6 hrs at Red Sauce as a hostess? Even if everything she said is 100% accurate (and quite frankly I can't imagine there aren't two sides to this story) would you waste your time for $50-60?.

She has her revenge by these posts. Although it won't stop me from going to Red Sauce.

[Russ_Boston]

And just for the record I have never Been Drunk at the red sauce

Why would you mention this? Did someone say you were drunk there on occasion? I didn't see that anywhere in the story.

I've never been drunk there either but I wouldn't bring it up if I were discussing a bad experience with the restaurant.

Sounds like there is much, much more to this story.

[graciegirl]

We all have to be careful what we type for the world to see.

And I agree that the amount can't be a lot. Sometimes we just have to move on.

Sadly enough - forums often = drama.. This post serves no legitimate purpose, plain and simple. Hell, if I posted on here about every disagreeable situation I've found in and around the Villages, I could publish a book.
Have a nice day, and hey, Merry Christmas!

[Bonny]

I'm sure it's hard as a business owner when someone works one day then quits and leaves them stranded with no notice. There has to be just a little bit more to this story. :undecided:

[784caroline]

Working 6.5 hours as a hostess would probably result in an after tax pay check of NO More than $40-50. Granted, looks like you have come up on the short side here, but the other part of "your" story" was about stress. If you really want to persue this I would write a letter to the owner..send it registered if you feel its necesssary...make your request and see what happenes. Why confront him and make your day worst!

Now if he sends you a W-2 next month..then you have another issue!

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. Mention in the letter that you will contact the LRB - sometimes the threat will result in some favorable result for you.

[Mikiem]

just to set the record straight I apoligize for not clarifing what rick said to me he claims he paid me but that I was probley drunk and cashed the check and dont remember doing it. My reason for posting this is not for the money if I needed 6 hrs of pay I wouldnt be living in the villages my point is I feel that if rick is doing this to me how many other people is he or has he done this to, like I said he was abusive to me and im no wimp I was standing strong and he came right for me with his name calling he spoke to my husband like I wasnt even there trying to sway him that I was lieing to him theres something wrong and if I can stop this from happening to ur Mother,sister ..daughter or grandmother its worth letting him no im not going away . Thats the problem that is happening people become intimidated and run well im not like I said i have always loved the red sauce and this is a real shame and no I did not leave rick in a lurch I was very honest about the fact that I had 3 job offers to choose from and I let him no the very next morning . I have also seen rick many times since the 1st of Oct and we have always had nice conversations and he would appologize about my check and I always said I would check with the girls the following week like I said dont no what happened but it was uncalled for and i am entitled to be treated with respect. And thank you but no need to worry about my reputation Im doing great anyone that knows me would be shocked and disappointed if I were to let this go, I must say IM a great person and wouldnt do anything to hurt anyone. Although I AM and Have very strong feelings when it comes to ABUSE of any nature and no i wont let this go . The minute he tryed to scare me and tryed to convince me that I was the one lieing my safe guard mode kicked in and thats when I went for my husband and he still didnt back off . Think what you want I hope every woman that is on here reads this because if 1 feels stronger God Bless dont let this happen to you BONNIE

[Bonny]

I was informed to beware of how I will be treated by the owner, now that wasnt the first time I was warned but it was just hard for me to believe because I have always had a very nice relationship with all of the people from there including the owner.

You said you always had a good relationship with the owner. Why would you quit the very first day because someone told you he would treat you bad ? It just doesn't make sense to do that if you got along fine with him.

[PennBF]

Forgive me but I think a lot are missing the point. It is not and should not be about the money. That is insignificant..!! What is important is that for what ever reason she was treated poorly by a business owner. He would have been better off to pay the $40-60 and move on but he chose to ignore her for what ever reason. I firmly believe in "principle" and that she should not
allow this disrespect to continue. Thus we have small claims court where one or the other will be proved to be correct. Money should not be the object but rather the truth and that will come out in small claims. Either he can produce the check which he said he paid her or he can't. If he can she is at fault if he can't he is at fault. I would pay the costs of small claims based on the principle. :cus:

[Larry Wilson]

So true PennBF.
Seems many didn't read her posts. She had 3 job offers. In his abuse of her he called her drunk.
I've seen many owners treat women very poorly and the abuse needs to STOP.

[Larry Wilson]

Do you want your wife or daughter to receive abuse like this?
Talk is cheap until it happens to you or your loved ones.

[Mr Hanky]

It really does NOT matter what he said, she said or they said. He MUST pay her for all hours worked,period. That is according to Federal Labor Law.
She should pursue her case and if or when he is infact found guilty of infractions against his labor force THEN she should let it be known to anyone she can. I personally would never EVER patronise such an establishment IF I were to see such a ruling by the National Labor relations Board.

[buggyone]

If Bonnie did receive her paycheck and did cash it, RedSauce would be able to bring up a copy of the cancelled check showing it was paid or deposited at a bank.

I am perplexed about why Bonnie quit the job after just being told that Rick was an unfair person. To quit after one shift did leave Rick and RedSauce shorthanded. Bonnie should have given notice so he could find another hostess.

It is really unfortunate to have employer-employee disputes come down to shouting matches.

Definitely, there is a lot more to this incident than we are privy to with just one person's side.

[natickdan]

What i'm looking to gain from this forum is useful content about TV and, for the most part, that is what I've gotten from participating in our ToTV forum. However, I'm not interested in reading a post that serves as a personal vendetta and this post strikes me just as that....a personal vendetta.

Oh and by the way...Merry Christmas and a great holiday season to the members of ToTV

[Happinow]

I think she should pursue this jerk! Why let him get away with treating women like this? If nothing else, I at least know where I'm not going to patronize when I come to TV! The problem is with "business" people like him is that he has been allowed to get away with it. Someone needs to put this guy in his place. I'll bet if everyone else that was displeased with how they were treated my him you would all have a case against him! I know life is short but wrong is wrong....:spoken:

[Happinow]

Regardless of the situation, Rick is the business owner and he needs to be put in his place for calling anyone a Bimbo! Seriously?? If my husband ever heard anyone call me a bimbo it wouldn't be pretty. Rick doesn't deserve to be in business. He's a cheat and an abuser. I own a business and have NEVER been unkind to the 25,000 people I've done business with. Even though I don't know both sides of the story, I think it's worth going after this guy just for the principle! Quite frankly, after working one day I'm sure a 2 week notice wasn't necessary. There were probably a few others who applied for the job that he could have called in that day. So, he probably wasn't short handed for long. And for the record, I won't be visiting that establishment..... ever.

If you have a dispute with an employer because of over-due wages, you go to the Wage and Hour Division of the Dept. of Labor.

If you are discriminated against by an employer because of your age, race, sex, religion or national orgin, you go to the EEOC

If you are discriminated against by your employer because of your union activities or concerted activities, then you go to the NLRB.

So then..don't read it. Change the channel if it upsets you. Everyone has the right to express themselves EVEN in a forum format. Let her be. Move on. Don't be dismissive of her complaints. Go read something else if it upsets you.

If you only read Bonnie's rants you'll discover that this isn't some ordinary 'girl gets job, male boss treats her bad and she quits' story. She obviously knows this guy very well. She seems to have known him a lot before and lot after the one day job. Of course everyone says 'but no man should treat a women this way'. Duh! If the story was to be believed then of course not. But I just don't buy the one way story we are getting.

And did anyone notice that Bonnie posted under Micheal's name on the last post? I think fishy!

[diskman]

DDoug, I don't know what your past experience has been with the Labor Relations Board, but if you have a legitiment dispute with wages they will assist you in getting your pay.

Labor relations( here in California we call it EDD) they will add an additional days pay for 30 days to the total the employer owes.:spoken::cus:

If this guy really did what you say and unlike some posters I do believe you, I would exhaust all legal means to get your money.Just to p--- off the guy.Maybe he'll think twice next time before he acts like a jerk.

I'm sure you are sophisticated enough to know that a forum with hidden identities is not the place I would share my private info. Sorry, it bothers you so. Your post approaches bullying me and I don't answer to any BULLY! I will just ignore you in the future.

Now back to the topic of this thread.

We had a meeting at Red Sauce this past week and the food was good but I did seen some rough handling of the wait staff.

I think there are people who just feel they are better or have more power than others and can abuse those they feel below them. It really makes me mad.

I really hope someday we will realize that you need to treat people the way you want to be treated.

Now I have a ton of things planned for today and must end this disscussion.

Mr. Wilson,

I am so very sorry you took offense to my question. You have such an impressive resume and have been written so much about your golfing with the CEO's of so many companies and your association with the Morse family, I truly thought you would like to tell us more about it.

AND, I hardly think a 80 year old 95 lb woman could bully you, I think you are a lot bigger man and can handle me. Don't you? :icon_wink:

First of all, how do we know Larry Wilson is his real name and the stories he tells are the truth.....one never knows on the internet.
Secondly, a Saturday night is probably not a good time to approach someone to ask for money owed you. And I do believe there must be another side to the story. And for someone who is not in TV to say they'll never eat at Red Sauce is ridiculous.
I say let it go........

For some reason this thread resonated with a lot of people. 53 posts resulted. In my humble opinion, unless both sides of a situation are posted, how could we ever know what the issues really are, or "take sides".

[gerryann]

Folks who talk about how important they are and who they know are obviously in need of attention. I feel they are insecure in who they really are and for whatever reason want others to feel they are important. When you talk about it...it's usually not true.
The original poster who has an issue with the way she was treated and wants her pay for an hour's work....should let it go. Life is too short. If you wanted to accomplish anything, you shouldn't have done it on a Saturday night. And, how do you expect an owner to react when you just up and quit without notice? Tempers fly in situations like this, and I have a feeling that if names really were exchanged...you or your husband may have thrown around a few names as well........two sides to this story.

Think what you want I hope every woman that is on here reads this because if 1 feels stronger God Bless dont let this happen to you BONNIE

You must be very popular or very qualified to have three job offers. Some people cant find ONE job offer. Maybe you started at the wrong position - should have started at the CEO level, and worked your way down. Good luck with your EEO complaint. I think it may be a male chauvinistic thing. IMP

I would only ask for my money "once". There are many ways to get even, I know I have done many.

Bonnie, these posts are doing you more harm than good, especially for such a small sum of money.

It is not worth it to put a rant out on internet against an employer, where all employers look for indications of a job applicant's character.

I would go to small claims court with the claim, and I would ask for this thread to be removed so it doesn't live on for years, affecting your reputation.

I agree their posts are intended to be punitive in nature and frankly rather than enhance their position it weakens it ...Thou protest too much...methinks

I am curious though if Michael Mangione is related to Chuck Mangione?????

Because Picard posted this:
