“Great food and environment.“

“I offer this review not in bitterness, but in truth. It is spoken from lived experience, with clarity, integrity, and a commitment to honoring the full picture. My partner and I were personally invited by the store manager to join the night crew at this location. At the time, we were living out of our van, which had no air conditioning. On hot days, we could not rest properly. We had no way to cook food, so we lived on fast food, which drained our energy and weakened our health. We arrived in survival mode, but we showed up with honesty and willingness. What we were not told, until after we had already started, was that our first two paychecks would be mailed. We had just lost access to our P.O. Box, which meant we could not retrieve them. It was not until three weeks after we began working that our direct deposit was finally set up. Even then, it took over a month before we received our back pay. In response to this, the store manager did offer some short-term assistance. He did our laundry once, bought us each an outfit, and fed us one meal. These gestures were appreciated. However, they were not acts of pure generosity. They were a response to the hardship caused by the store's failure to communicate clearly and support us properly. That support faded quickly, while the pressure and dysfunction within the workplace only deepened. We had confirmed our pay rate multiple times before accepting the offer. Once hired, we discovered the pay was not what we were promised. That betrayal of trust set the tone for everything that followed. My partner, a brilliant, dedicated, and compassionate soul, was emotionally harassed by a coworker. The situation escalated until she developed heart palpitations and anxiety so severe she required medication. The person responsible was eventually investigated, but allowed to resign quietly. No true accountability was ever enforced. That same person's boyfriend was then promoted to team lead over more experienced and qualified candidates, including myself. This exposed a culture where favoritism outweighed fairness. I was also targeted. I was written up for calmly setting a verbal boundary when I said, "Don't talk to me," to one of the team leads. During my interview, I had been clearly told I would not be assigned to the freezer or deli. That assurance was broken. I was regularly assigned to those areas. I was also the only one forced to use a cannon cart, even though my work regularly exceeded the expected quality and consistency. The night manager, who allowed all of this to occur without intervention, was never held accountable. Harassment was tolerated. Boundaries were punished. Favoritism was rewarded. There was no structure of support or genuine leadership in place. To remain fully transparent, I also acknowledge this truth. As the environment became increasingly toxic and our health and stability declined, both my partner's and my own attendance began to suffer. For me personally, my productivity dropped. I was not always operating at my highest level. But I showed up for as long as I could, in a place that drained more than it gave. This was not a safe or honorable experience. It caused real harm. And no one seeking peace, dignity, or honest work should have to endure what we did. There are better places to work. Places where communication is honest. Where leadership is accountable. Where humanity is honored. May this review serve as a beacon. For those walking through hardship. And for those who deserve better. - Cosmic Love @GuruCosmicLove“

“Finally got to try out the Grist and we weren’t disappointed. To be honest, the food was just good, maybe not great, but the servers and the aesthetic of the restaurant were really great. We were surprised to still have a 10 mins wait for a table at 1pm on a Thursday but good for them! We’ll be back.“
