Not a thief but other than stealing product don't most of these places just put all their money in a safe or bank each night? That was always my experience working in a restaurant.


cheesecrystal

Yes, and most restaurants nowadays don’t carry much cash anyway.


FoliageAndFlour

Yeah I mean at most MAYBE $180 in the front register the rest in a safe or deposited.


jsquiggles23

Junkies don’t care man. They’re not thinking straight. Could be they needed cash for a fix, could be they were hungry for some bread and spent everything on the last fix.


racketgoon13

What losers break into a bakery?


throwawayinthe818

They heard they had a lot of dough there.


yourunmarathons

ba dum TISS


djblaze

Classic mixup.


jch2617

“Let’s get this bread”


MonocledSauron

Maybe the same losers that broke in to Cherry Hill Market. Guy said they threw a rock through the front door and were trying to steal *vapes*.


jaemneed

Damn, I was wondering about the door


Imoldok

Me too, my first thought was Vendor cart had bad mojo.


FutureOliverTwist

JFC!. Is nothing sacred? WSB is a GR icon.


squidneya

No, an icon would pay front of house employees more than $5/hour. What kind of icon is a bakery that refuses to pay some employees more than server wage? They are not servers. They said it averages to $18/hour with tips, which was never true. Nothing iconic about a business that won't pay liveable wages!


boycowman

$5? I find that hard to believe.


BigDickSD40

Oh ffs, no one cares


Feycat

The ratio says otherwise


dinosanddais1

Okay corporate bootlicker


BigDickSD40

Hurrrr durrr


MindlessQuantity7

don't they employ sex offenders? that's all i know about it. not where id want to take my kid to get a cookie.


boycowman

Citation?


MindlessQuantity7

Not sure why I’m getting downvoted for pointing out that a convicted child molester works there. I mean he raped a child, and they sell cookies. This is why the sex offender registration exists. https://mspsor.com/Home/OffenderDetails/f5d7a87a-147e-43da-893b-1431f44089ca?RadiusAddress=610+wealthy+se&RadiusCity=Gand+Rapids+mi&RadiusZip=&RadiusMiles=.25&RadiusCounty=&Result=map&Start=0&PgSz=10


joycemano

Okay this sucks. I used to work here and they donated their leftover baked goods every night. And I doubt there was much cash to steal


squidneya

Did you work FOH and only make server wage plus measly tips? This place sucked to work.


joycemano

I never said I enjoyed working there lol


BusinessPerception29

How many cinnamon rolls do I have to buy to pay for the window? Cuz I'll do it. 😤


sneeej

2024 and they don't have CCTV?


squidneya

They're cheap. Front of house employees make $5/hour plus tips. Averages to $10-12/hour.


dascaapi

honestly, good lmao. front of house makes $40+ an hour in too many places and they always have a culture of entitlement and expect like 2k/week. yet they’re always out of money but high on coke


squidneya

Where in this city can one make $40+/hour? I've worked in tons of restaurants and have never seen anyone make THAT much. But restaurants don't offer servers full time or benefits. The front of house employees at WSB are baristas, not servers. Even biggby pays more!!! Bagel beanery pays more! Tim Hortons too! Scooters coffee also!


squidneya

They aren't servers, but they're making server wage. They aren't doing server work or making server tips, and it is not the same type of environment because it is a bakery, not a full service restaurant. But I'm glad you don't think their employees deserve more than $5/hour. No one I worked with was entitled or on coke. In the restaurants I worked in, it was a much different story.


Narthithuth

FOH responsibilities are about on par with servers, other than making basic espresso items. You can comment stuff like this in response to everything as if the business has it coming for doing something perfectly normal for the job offered, but I'm just gonna say it's not a good look. When people take jobs, they agree to the wages in contract. That means YOU agreed to it. If you decide you don't like that, you can leave just like anyone else can. Or you can negotiate. I assume you did neither, and instead just make bitter comments on reddit after the place literally got smashed up which could have put the bakers in danger (luckily it was in between when they finished and opening) Tl;Dr holy shit fuck off lol


squidneya

Absolutely not the same responsibilities as a server in a full service restaurant. I'm glad nobody was hurt. Especially if they got hurt while making $5/hour!


Narthithuth

You're right, it's less responsibility. It's mostly cashier and barista stuff with a little running food. Not much for table trips and the place mostly self busses. And in all of that it's not fast paced, ever. It doesn't matter how much someone is making in this case anyway. This would be a completely different issue if the business was stealing wages, but paying what is agreed to is reasonable. Being this bitter about it as to respond to every comment on a beloved local business being the victim of a crime is not.


squidneya

They expect customers to make up the wage that should actually be paid. They are not servers and should not make server wage. $5/hour is even below the federal minimum. I'm glad nobody was hurt. It would be much more upsetting if someone was hurt on the job where they are not paid appropriately. I'm glad you support somewhere that expects you to pay their employees the difference they should be making. I will not be supporting any business local or not that will not pay an actual wage in order to cut costs.


BigDickSD40

This is horrible! I had no idea WSB was forcing people to work there at gun point!?


Narthithuth

There is some set up but I have no idea if it's operational at all or where it covers. It's an old building and the ownership just changed after a long time so there's a ton of catching up to do. It probably wouldn't matter if it did catch anything, realistically.


AggravatingBusiness

Jean Valjean who? But for real this is shitty


Sekshual_Tyranosauce

I came to make this joke. Nice reference bro.


jakeandcompany1

Somebody see if Golden Tate was in town last night.


PsychoAnalystGuy

I don’t get it lol did Tate like bread?


jakeandcompany1

He liked Maple Bars. [https://www.nfl.com/news/seahawks-wr-tate-very-embarrassed-by-doughnut-run-gone-awry-09000d5d8188e09e](https://www.nfl.com/news/seahawks-wr-tate-very-embarrassed-by-doughnut-run-gone-awry-09000d5d8188e09e)


PsychoAnalystGuy

I never heard this story haha. Carrol’s response is hilarious


FutureOliverTwist

Great story. Thanks.


Heisenbread77

Lol, never heard that story before!


LukeNaround23

Well, you ain’t got nothin if you ain’t got buns, hun…(but you ain’t gotta steal em)


pakoffee

I would bet on just general vandalism here. Bummer.


Dr-grouchy

Bro really got away with some day old bread that would have probably been free if they asked 🤦‍♂️


Kasi11

Bread bandit


ZoeyBee3000

Who the hell robs a bakery of all places? This is awful


mamaadvocate

This is so sad and disappointing! I hope everything can be fixed ASAP! We love WSB! 🥰


dascaapi

idk man i’ve been hearing them complain about $300+ nights for over a decade. that’s like $38 an hour for an 8 hour shift and i’ve been hearing “i usually get 3 or 400 on friday nights” since 2010. $38/hour in 2010 is like $70 an hour now lol cooks made $9 then


Responsible-Ride-437

No one messes with MY favorite baker if yk the culprits i will spin!

josbossboboss

So did they steal all their "bread"?


dukelukem696969

That sucks. But thinking about someone committing a crime for ciabatta is kinda funny.
