I truly expected sexual harassment when I opened this

Great spinach dip. Gator bites legit. Chimes club fried real good. Them sautéed crab fingers tho. Man, them red beans. But the chargrilled oysters too mane.

Motherfrickers waiting for it to close down so they can open another burger joint there.

Out of curiosity, why would you automatically assume they're lying?

For management/ownership not wanting to pay these girls $2.13/hr to perform off the clock tasks really shows how fricking cheap they are. That place prints money.

Not that it’s any better, but I think it was more likely Overtime pay. It’s not that they are worried about the hourly pay, it’s more that that when you have a high percentage of your employees going into OT they have to possibly pay higher insurance and other costs.

But yes, especially at the rates we are talking it’s absurd to not pay all that with good employees then worry about hiring additional shitty employees.

A lot of it is investors too though. The investors look at the quarterly reports and see the OT pay and while a small amount it’s a cost that good management should be able to avoid.

I love the Chimes and don't want anything bad to happen to it. But I know one of the three women bringing the lawsuit, and she is as sweet and honest a person as you can imagine. I remember when she worked there during the lunch shift, and she told people on campus at the time that she was amazed that the Chimes did not pay people for the hour that they were required to work prior to the opening of the restaurant. I am always open to additional information, but if the facts are as stated and you are requiring people to work and not paying them then that is a violation of the law. The Chimes should be liable for damages in this case.

One of the other posters stated that the Chimes is printing money--they must be making a fortune with that place, given how popular it is. Surely then can afford to follow the law and pay people for work that they are doing and are required to do.

How are you "pressured" to work off the clock? Now if they were told to work off the clock, didn't do it and then was fired they might have a case.

I dont understand why places like the chimes cant pay staff hourly wages. The amount of beer we drink when we are there is insane. Abita aint cheap baws.

My sister worked there. That could of been her
