free lunch. No longer were we able to get wings. Instead it was just salads and wraps lol.

So every shift we would get a free meal (which was an appropriate sized meal) and I think around 30% off any additional items. There were a couple of girls in particular that would order wings for every meal and 1 or 2 slices of cake. Well surprise, surprise, after a few months they… Read More

The juicy stuff….. Contrary what many assumed, I didn’t make exceptionally great tips while working there. It may very well have been the location being that West Covina is more of a suburb of east LA and definitely not a destination spot. I made typical 16 - 20% on most tables.… Read More
