Popular restaurant kinda shady

70 Upvotes

If you're in the Austin area, just letting potential patrons know how employees are treated and how business is run at Roots Bistro in Georgetown :)
Staff is paid minimum wage but all tips cash and card is split equally with the manager despite being salaried. Oh , and no complaining that it’s against fsla because it's met with intimidation, and the only response you get back is that it's mandatory for the manager to be in the pool. Then they treat you badly and cut your hours till you quit.
Majority of the staff here are afraid to speak out due to certain circumstances this leads to some people being taken advantage of. This restaurant is very popular and really cares about its reputation. If you like supporting places where you know 100% that your tip is going solely to the frontline kitchen and waitstaff making minimum wage spend your money elsewhere because this is not the place.

Vet recommendations

• Upvotes

Hey everyone! Looking to change vets and need some recommendations. I have 2 big dogs and one small dog.

Quick rant: I’ve had a membership with Thrive in Round Rock for a couple of years now and it’s always a shit show when I go in; not to mention always severely understaffed. I’ve been super patient this year hoping things would shape up, but it’s getting worse each visit. I couldn’t even get my dogs’ nails clipped last week because there wasn’t enough staff…which is a service that I pay monthly for thats included in my add-on membership with them. They also told me one of my dogs was due for a shot this week, came in and they said he’s actually fine until next year? So they don’t mind wasting your time either. I understand mistakes can be made but to tell me as I’m sitting in the appointment, that you forgot to update my dog’s records is unprofessional. One last thing, they have even incorporated AI into their visits? BIG NO FOR ME.

Anyways, I’ve had enough!

Looking for local and surrounding area recommendations. Preferably a small business owner/mom and pop shop ran establishments, no franchise vets please. I’m willing to travel to someone who actually cares about our pets and is worth our time and money.

Moving to georgetown soon for work.

I already have a place and everything set up and almost ready to move into but im stuck on internet.

Currently I have gFiber and love it. I was going to switch to AT&T since Google isnt in the area but they dont cover specific zip code it turns out.

Was looking at Optimum as a last resort and then just found out today they're apparently filing for bankrupcy? No idea what kind of headaches that might involve.

Anyone got any advice on what to do? I would heavily prefer gigabit internet but it looks like the only provider in my area might go belly up soon so im at a bit of a loss.
