I'm not one to complain but..I have seen this now more than once. If you are a cook and have experience the restaurant says can you come in for a trial? so you go in, assist the chef who is clearly swamped and could never solo the shift himself and you stay for 6 hours with no pay in a trial period. Then the head chef asks you if you can come in and do a night shift..again not paid and another trial?? I can see coming if for a couple of hours show that you are capable but I'm wondering..too me..sure seems like it's not fair. Just wondering if any of you in NYC have dealt with this and if it's common among restaurants in NYC. It would be easy for a restaurant to keep doing this and keep getting free help wouldn't it?? I've cooked for over four years as an extra that I do from time to time and I've NEVER worked a shift for free..until now.
