Ex-Chili's Employee Dedicates TikTok to Exposing Workplace Horror Stories, Now Chili's is Trying to Ban Her from the App

Working in the service industry is not an easy job, especially when you work for a huge corporate chain restaurant. Small independent restaurants still have their fair share of drama and horror stories, but it's always the large chains like McDonald's, Sonic, and now Chili's that seem to often get wrapped up in seem sort of scandal. Many employees and ex-employees to these huge chain restaurants are now taking to social media to air out their complaints. TikTok has become a great source for that. 

TikToker @alexservestea is a waitress in the service industry. She's worked at many place, but the one that's truly given her the worst experiences in her life seems to be Chili's. The Tex-Max chain restaurant seems to treat their employees completely unfairly, and in result, is starting to give crappy experiences to the customers as well. It's your classic cause and effect situation. 

@alexservestea has been posting story times of her horrible experience working at Chili's and has been attracting viewers to post their own stories of Chili's being the worst—both as their own TikToks or commenting it in her TikTok's. She even gets tagged in other people's videos of Chili's.

Apparently, before a 2013 Chili's was actually a pretty chill place to work. This TikToker worked there and had many friends who had worked there as well for years. But then in 2013, the company was sold off and apparently now the new corporate “does not know how to run a f*cking business.” The TikToker says they cleaned house in corporate and fired more than half the employees. Then the dropped the payment for chef's from $20p/h to minimum wage and made the servers tip them out. The apparently started most microwaving their food and even refused to fire management with sexual harassment filed against them because they couldn't afford to hire new ones. However, they were firing servers at the drop of the hat with no prior warning.  Of course all of these was going to cause extreme turmoil with the employees—you'd be a fool not to see that right away.
