Unfortunately every time I hear of La Fuente, I am reminded of their treatment of their workers– Workers were forced to work “off the clock”.
Other abuses included forcing the wait-staff to pay for any food or drink returned or replaced by an unsatisfied customer. Keep in mind that wait-staff in restaurants have only a minimum wage of $2.33 per hour.
Such flagrant abuse by the owners of La Fuente gives a sour taste to their food.
Thank you Edward, I was unaware of this! I feel bad for writing this happy hour column and won’t be giving them any more of my business. This information about La Fuente’s practices and the closing of Cafe La Paloma speaks to the intense competition surrounding that corridor of Mexican restaurants.
I used to frequent La Fuente some years ago, but never would have done so if I’d known of these practices, and certainly won’t do so in the future!
