People complain about the stupidest shit. He used to just roll his eyes toward comments like this but now he's taking it to heart and it's frustrating.

How is that anything to complain about? Unfortunate that the manager didnt just tell them to suck it up and let you guys keep water there. Pretty inconsiderate.

They didn't complain about us. It was the hostesses, which is actually even worse, because the hosts/hostesses cannot leave their area and are constantly talking to people. So a little area was created for them to keep cups of water (with lids) for when their mouths got parched. And someone decided to be a douchebitch…

Who the fuck complained about a bartender taking a sip of water?

So, I disagree with you, obviously, since I think servers do a hard job and should get far more than minimum wage for their efforts.

That's an odd sentiment. Rather than argue with you, I'd simply ask: Why?

That's some hostility right there.

I'm guessing you DO complain about your job, as you are right now, and you DO feel underappreciated and undervalued, as you do in relation to the doctors whom you "tell what to do". Which pretty much makes you the equal of the waiters you are ranking on here.

I would say look into your state's labor laws too. Here are the OSHA regs, if that helps: https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/ow…

That's what everyone keeps saying (and I believe all of you), I just need information to bring in and show him. Another commenter mentioned health codes so I'm researching that.

That is 100% illegal.

Well you know, murder and all that.

If only the Death Note book existed!

I wasn't clear. We have our own cups/bottles of water (all with lids) that we keep in a designated area at the bar for when we need a drink. This area for drinks was purposely constructed for the bartenders years and years ago. It's never been a problem. But since this yelp review, we can't have it there.
As for the…

I figured it was some sort of labor violation but I didn't think about looking under health codes. Thank you for this information.

I don't understand why in a country with lots of guns, the described assholes are still alive.

In my city, that's a health code violation. It doesn't matter what the Yelp review says.

One of the bartenders is newly pregnant and he told her no, she can't have water out.

WTF?! You can't have water on the floor? That is some grade-A bullshit right there!!!

That's some bull! I'd be livid. And really who complains on yelp about employees drinking water at their station. Is it because it shows that you are human? Damn you not being a robot! 1 star.

Yes, I'm dealing with a manger who started not to dothat and it's driving a lot of us crazy. He started listening to yelp reviews so now the bartenders and hostesses can't have cups of water to sip on while we're working. We have to wait until we have time and go into the kitchen. We're an extremely busy restaurant;…
