Social - Newcastle

I was supposed to do a trial shift here and basically what happened was that the whole entire time they had a complete fiasco of a baby shower, I walked in and took a seat and the first thing they talked about was trans people and about previous transgender staff, the manager was nice and calm about the situation which was lovely, however, neither the bartenders were. When I did my trial shift, halfway through I was doing random lobbying jobs that did not really have any clarity to what we were doing there, for example, rubbing off a blackboard with chalk on it. One of the staff members was very racist and started talking about Mexican people, and also, the two boys on the till were being silly, while a poor girl was sat on the inside of a hut by herself cooking food for everybody. It just felt like a very awkward situation, I have certain mental health conditions that are diagnosed and it really made me feel hostile all the time being in the workplace all of the time. Then I got an email shortly saying I didn't get the job and that I would get paid for the hours I worked. Sadly, this never happened. It is not the money that is the problem, it is the fact that many students need work experience for things like apprenticeships and further employment. I also felt like a mouse, I went in three times asking for a trial shift during the school starting month, hoping that this could be my first job, honestly anything that I did wrong would be really appreciated.

Hired and area of bar social for a baby shower. Lee and his team were very accomodating and it was great value for money when offered the area for a refundable deposit. mummy to be and guests were very happy and had a fantastic time. nothing was too much trouble... if you want a venue for a party, i would higly recomend bar social.
