You need t like seafood before you go! Their appitizers are really good, as well as the variety of seafood. I would recommend some of the frozen drinks, especially the passion colada. The entrees are extremely generous. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff members are very friendly. I also like being able to pick out my own lobster. less

Hi My name is Anna I am a Russian immigrant, who moved to the US recently. I was employed by "Red Lobster, Reno, NV" for 5 months. I really loved that place as well as people who worked there. The very first words that welcomed me at that place were - "We are here to protect and support you". Those words were coming from the management of that place. Indeed, they have proven those words very many times!!! I would like to thank Jami, Socko and Cindy for being very suportive and helpful. For the first time in two years, I felt protected and surrounded by people who cared about me so much.
Being employed for a period of 5 month, I have managed to make a lot of friends among guests as well as co-workers. Very many of our guests came back to the restaurant to just be served by me!! They have called Red Lobster many times to personally thank me for the service. Of course I have made mistakes and I could not always be perfect and do things the way they are supposed to be done. Just as any other server in that restaurant, I would occasionaly ran up the wrong item or forget to bring a salad in time.... Those were the common mistakes that servers do when they start working at the new place.
One week ago, something happened, something that have shocked me tremendously, something that has deeply hurt me. I was WRONGFULLY accused in stealing money and have been fired. One of the guests called our restaurant and said that RedLobster overcharged them by 5 dollars, which later turned out to be an "unauthorized tip add on". The guests presented our managers with 2 copies of charge receipts that had discrepancy. One of them (the copy that goes to the restaurant) had a 5 dollars tip added to the total their signature on the bottom. The other copy (that customers kept), had no indication of that 5 dollar tip that was on the Restaurant copy of the receipt. Unfortunately, the computers that are used to print the receipts, do that by printing out TWO, NON CARBON COPY receipts, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to have two identical receipts. Very FEW people actually add tip to THEIR copy of the receipt. Anyway, Katie MILLER, who happens to be the head manager at that restaurant, took words of dishonest people for granted and FIRED me without even trying to look into the problem or proving that it was me, who added that $5.00 tip. Her only reasoning was - "I have been in this business for many years and never had any of our guests call us and say that there is a discrepancy on the receipt". She did not bother with going into accusation details, nor she tried to find out whether the accusation was true or not, she has chosen the easy way - FIRE!! thus, made everyone that knows me, think that I am capable of doing somthing low like that.
On this site, I would like to ask my co-workers to express your opinion about what happened to me. Have I ever been dishonest? Do you actually belive that I would do something like this? I am not the only person who felt victim of "ticket discrepancy"., do you think you are protected from what happened to me??
I am ready to do an investigation and prove that I never added that tip. To start, I am willing to send copies of the tickets to the Document Investingation Lab, something that Kathie Miller should 've done herself before ACCUSING ME. Please help me guys, go to the employee testimonials section and express your opinion. If you are afraid of being exposed, do not write your name, it is not that important. I would really appreciate that. Thank you guys!!!
I have always beleived that such a reputable company as Darden corporation cares about its employees and I still want to belive in that!!! less
