Shamelessrestaurants.com does not knowingly allow incorrect or factually incorrect information to remain posted. Many Messages posted to Shamelessrestaurants.com are a historical 'snapshot' of an ongoing situation, as seen through the eyes and perception of an individual, often with incomplete or inaccurate information at their disposal Shamelessrestaurants.com always assumes that the poster has a positive intent in writing their message, in helping themselves, in helping other users, in helping the subject business provide a better and fair work environment.

Posted user messages and corresponding posted business replies both represent 'snapshots in time' of descriptions of an employee's experience, from the point of view of both workers and businesses.

Due to the passage of time, or other factors, posted messages may be inaccurate or incomplete or the current status of the poster situation may be different than the situation (s) described in the posted message.

Shamelessrestaurants.com welcomes all opportunities to make MESSAGE ADDITIONS to attempt to make any and all previously posted messages more complete or accurate. Previously written messages can NOT be edited.

Posted messages don't 'expire.' Posted messages are historical, dated messages that may be updated by either a poster that had the experience, personally or by business interests related to the posted messages.

A complaint message is assumed by Shamelessrestaurants.com to be a description of a situation experienced by an employee. A message is only a personal opinion by a poster; a perception of an individual. That personal perception and / or opinion based on their own personal experience, can be powerful, or meaningless, in the opinion of Shamelessrestaurants.com, depending upon the context and content of what is written. And how that information is interpreted by whomever reads it. Which of course varies from person to person, depending on who they are, their own personal experiences, biases, opinions., Etc.

No conclusions are drawn by Shamelessrestaurants.com, as to content validity. Shamelessrestaurants.com does not investigate posted messages for accuracy. Shamelessrestaurants.com is a free Internet message board for the entire world to use.

Posted messages should describe a personal, firsthand experience. If a person experienced something personally, that person owns that information about their perception of, and opinion about, that personal experience, and is free to discuss their opinion about that experience, as a human, citizen, and legal entity, unless previously, already contractually bound otherwise.

It is the responsibility of a user of Shamelessrestaurants.com to make sure they are not contractually bound otherwise. It is the responsibility of this user to determine on their own if they are not allowed to discuss the subject of their complaint, if this is the case, prior to e-mailing a complaint to Shamelessrestaurants.com.

Shamelessrestaurants.com does not notify a business that a complaint was posted about that business.

Shamelessrestaurants.com makes no promises.

Actual results from using Shamelessrestaurants.com may be constructive or helpful. Or, actual results from using Shamelessrestaurants.com may be destructive and harmful.

Visitors to Shamelessrestaurants.com are free to form their own conclusions about any posted messages or content or information on our site, which is intended to be a place - and is indeed an Internet message board - for restaurant workers and businesses to exchange information about labor practices, hopefully in a constructive and meaningful way.

Shamelessrestaurants.com has no intention or agenda but to remain impartial and independent, and simply provide a free, public Internet message board platform to foster and support communications between restaurant workers and restaurant businesses.

Shamelessrestaurants.com seeks to promote healthy, constructive communication between restaurant workers and restaurant businesses. We do our best to try to achieve this goal. We make no guarantees. If anyone has any ideas about how Shamelessrestaurants.com might do this better, we would appreciate hearing from you at our e-mail address administrator@Shamelessrestaurants.com

Accordingly, either side in a message may be morally, or factually right and/or correct. Shamelessrestaurants.com will not make that determination.

The identity of the message writer is verified by Shamelessrestaurants.com by writer's e-mail address. The e-mail address on the posted message must match the e-mail address of the person requesting that the message be deleted from Shamelessrestaurants.com. However, e-mail addresses may be forged by message senders, so this method is not fool-proof and mistakes may result.
