However, I am sure Snooze will be less than thrilled to know that it happened to a local food blogger. Don't get me wrong, I am not thrilled about the hair, but it can happen at any type of food establishment from fine dining on down. Honestly, I think I was more disturbed by the long wait for two pancakes and what seemed like an excuse than I am about the hair. This is a good sized plate of food! The food took maybe a little long to come, but nothing egregious. The pastry is probably made from vegetable shortening, not butter, but it's still light, flaky and tasty. I ordered the Breakfast Pot Pie, which is a big piece of puff pastry, with choice of egg and gravy, along with their very nice and crisp hash browns. Our waitress was personable and happily made some menu suggestions when asked. I don't know what you call the little starburst/jacks thingys, but they are fun and nicely incorporated on the walls, on the glasses, etc. (I have heard stories about two hour waits on weekends which is one of the reasons I have not gone until now.) I was immediately greeted and seated along the back wall as I waited for my friends, I admired the playful decor. I arrived a little after 11:30 am and found the parking lot to be mostly full, but fortunately Snooze was not packed. The original is in Denver, where I ate several years ago when visiting friends there are now around 20 Snooze locations from Texas to California. They are open daily from 6:30 am - 2:30 pm, and feature breakfast foods (heavy on eggs) and some sandwiches, as well as a full bar.

What started out as lunch with friends M and B became a very leisurely lunch, though not entirely by choice.

Maybe you can tell from the title of this blog post of the conflict going through my head.

The plaintiff is being represented by four attorneys from Ohio-based Lazzaro Law Firm and Don Foty with Houston-based Hodges & Foty law firm. “As a result of these violations, Defendant may not use the tip credit and must compensate Plaintiff and all similarly-situated workers at the full minimum wage rate, unencumbered by the tip credit, and for all hours worked,” the lawsuit reads.įoster-Hall is seeking minimum wage compensation unadulterated by tip credit, liquidated damages, all misappropriated funds, including all tips, expenses and wages, wrongfully withheld, and an order requiring Snooze to correct its pay practices going forward. She said she often had to work before customers arrived and after they left, and was paid the tipped minimum wage during that time.

Second, she said she was required to purchase certain clothing for work, which reduced her wages below the minimum hourly wage. Colorado’s minimum wage for non-tipped employees is $12.56 per hour.įoster-Hall, however, alleged in her lawsuit that Snooze has violated the “tip credit” provision under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and the Colorado Wage Claim Act in multiple ways.įirst, she alleged the company failed to inform Foster-Hall that it would rely on tip credit to meet its minimum wage obligations as required by law.

Restaurants are allowed to pay tipped employees a lower minimum wage than non-tipped employees, under the assumption that the tips will make up the difference.
