More on ABC

Sorry, I can't find the old thread about Amy's Baking Company - but man are they milking the press.  Good for them.  However, I still don't believe much of what they say.  They are bat-shit crazy.

Have you eaten there yet?

She posted this on her FB page.  It doesn't make her look any better than any of the previous publicity.

And what's up with that contract?

Normally I would kind of take this with a big grain of salt, after all this is showbiz & one would suspect mostly made up. It's a he said, she said type deal where both get a lot of press time. Then:

Following their TV appearance, the stern contract that Amy and Samy ask staff to sign was leaked online – showing a long list of rules imposed on staff including no cell phones at work, any no-show penalized with a fee of $250 and ‘no visiting or unnecessary talking’ allowed during a shift, even going so far as to ban staff working for a competitor ‘within a 50 mile radius of ABC within one year of termination or voluntary resignation, without prior authorization.

They ask their staff to sign the above (& a lot more). I look at that & go WTH? A no show fee of $250? Last I heard people working (not owning, but working) in restaurants were paid very little. Sadly that whole "contract" tells me that possibly they are totally crazy & totally clueless too.

They're paying their servers a flat $8/hr with no tips and want to charge a $250 no show fee.  Good luck with that.

It is illegal to dock employees pay.  You can not charge them a no-show fee.  They must be paid the minimum wage for all hours worked.  If they don't show up, they don't get paid, but you can not "dock" them for hours they worked.

This lady is just NUTS!

[sarcasticgirl]

they were batshit crazy. totally and completely. 
yeah, your FB was hacked and FBI is looking into it. because that is totally an FBI caliber case.

They say they are so victimized, and that everyone is out to get them, but then they keep pushing themselves out there.  If they do their own reality show, how do they think they will be portrayed?  Are they delusional, or marketing geniuses?  

[movingforward]

These two are more than a few sandwiches short of a picnic.  Honestly, I am just relieved they don't have any children.  I actually even feel sorry for their 3 cats and want to rescue them from the psycho ward they must live-in.

Maybe I will go up there and buy a "Here's your pizza, go f**ck yourself" t-shirt.

Does that contract really say, "At no point is any food or any type of open beverage allowed in the kitchen.  This is a direct Health Code Violation."     Seriously, food in the kitchen is a health code violation?

LOL - I think you can't sit back there and eat, maybe.
