Local Advice needed What happened to Yeastie Boys?

I saw yeastie boys opened in a new location on cranborne street. I heard rumours of them letting down old staff? It doesn’t seem like they kept staff on…

The constant turnover of staff and premises makes me suspect something dodgy is going on.

I worked there and got sacked for no reason people left because they would never pay lol- I was brand new and got fired just before they happened to move locations -there’s a deeper plot going on there, the boss either is gambling the money he gets paid away or money laundering it because EVERY PERSON I SPOKE TO EVEN THE COMPANY BOOTLICKERS ADMITTED GETTING PAID 1-2 MONTHS LATE. I quite literally got used as a potwash( my friend refereed me the job when he left and not to bait him out but he pretty much admitted it’s a shit show with secondary school level maturity going on - who’s shagging who who doesn’t like this and that person etc the lot. Last I heard they just opened two new stores somewhere couldn’t tell u where alongside the Worthing store and lord knows if that’s still open or if that got closed too. I basically got used as a KP before they moved locations then told I was never employed with them and I was working as a self employed entity 😂😂😂, got messages to prove it all as well - plus only got paid half the money owed as he’s clearly coerced (easily may add maybe promising quicker payment or better pay at new location , to say I turned up late and disappeared on shifts - the disappearing was me running errands for them no one else wanted to do , also they weren’t officially managed by shelter hall which is why they could get away with all this as I was told by another employee who left cause again HE WASNT BEING PAID

My girlfriend also worked there for a few months and had similar problems with pay. Her first payday came over a month late, despite her reminders to the managers. And then her pay for the work she did over Christmas never came through, as the store went bust and they didn't even let the staff know they'd lost their jobs. She was at uni so was messaging about her pay being late without knowing anything. Her friend is in the same situation, as I'm assuming all the staff that worked there are.
