You suck to work for

Looking for a job on Craigslist today and came across these jems. The retort from the owner of Sunny Day Cafe was flagged and removed before I could copy it. Note: Sunnyside CafĂ© has had 27 job postings in the past month. Is there something in the water here? The multiple sightings of undeveloped limbs (and one undeveloped man-boy – no, not a midget nor a dwarf) indicates, yes. Note to self: stop drinking water.

I was recently there. I had a terrible experience. First you need to actual travel there only to fill out a generic application. It could easily made available for download.Then dropped off. While I was there the staff and owner or manager argued about standard operating procedures.After filling out an application I returned it for review.They placed my app. on a stack of other and didn't even my eye contact with me to when they said "thank you".Generally when you ask someone to come in to fill out a app. you give them the courtesy to site down with for 5 min.I could understand if they were busy,however they had one costumer.Please save your time and apply to real employers.Please to all that applied before please call and ask them to destroy your vital information 504-465-1331

this post has been on here for 3 - 6 months, i went there myself to talk to the man, willing to work FOH or BOH, i thought i had the job, but he didnot call me back, for a posting to be on here for so long, it must be a no brainer, the man will not give the job to someone unlees there are the same as him, and has to kow how to be perfect.

...These people are horrible employers and terribly inconsiderate people who could even be construed as abusive. I really feel that in some way it is almost a sadistic venture for the husband and wife owners to bring in pretty, young women and beat them down verbally and emotionally. I have never ever been viewed as anything less than a model employee EVER. I'm punctual, polite, and diligent. They don't train you at all, throw a lot of information at you and berate you when you don't succeed which only makes you feel worse and thus flounder more. I have never felt so awful my first day of work EVER. And I have worked some *&!? jobs. These people actually gave silent treatments when not pleased with you and verbally attacked my intelligence and ability to learn when I had barely been there a few hours. It was a terrible experience. They let me come in my fourth day and then fired me after I got there for being "ditzy" and saying I wasn't catching on fast enough. They knew they didn't want me right off I could tell but they couldn't be bothered to have the decency to spare me the traveling in the rain just to be further insulted. As far as being ditzy, as I am sure you might wonder if perhaps there was a reason for my treatment. I can assure you there is none. I am very intelligent and well mannered. I got another job within 24 hours of this unfortunate experience and am doing very well. This job involves as much or more of the skills and requirements as the ill-fated previous one if not more and I shine. Furthermore, sunny day is prejudice and sexist. They will never hire a male. Probably because they know a man won't sit there and smile and take the abuse. Basically don't waste your time with this job.

I believe the term "online" is not yet considered a verb in the English language.

Nice try, darling, but if you are going to insult someone--for insulting someone--at least make sure you know how and when to conjugate verbs.



p.s. conjugate: –verb (used with object)
1. Grammar.
a. to inflect (a verb).
b. to recite or display all or some subsets of the inflected forms of (a verb), in a fixed order:
One conjugates the present tense of the verb “be” as “I am, you are, he is, we are, you are, they are.”


• Compensation: we use a barter system

Good morning. I have learned from the past that each and every individual have different experiences than others. On a positive note, I was once an employee of Sunny Day Cafe and I am quite SHOCKED by the negative comments. I experienced something totally different. Whatever the problem is...I hope they can overcome ANY hurdles, if at all any. I've watched the postings and what I have viewed is a cat and mouse game. If you have had a good or bad experience with Sunny Day Cafe say what you're going to say and leave it alone. Anyone that post anything on craigslist have to verify their legal age 18 and over. So therefore, we are all adults. Please do not take this post as a NEGATIVE vibe. If you've had a BAD experience just SIMPLY move forward.
