So it’s been a few years since I worked there, but when I worked there the policy at 2Go was that you made a certain wage, and tips would be applied to your pay until you hit $10.00/hour at which point you wouldn’t receive any more tip money on top of that. I can’t speak to what servers or anyone like that made but having worked between the cafe and 2Go it def felt like people were getting ripped off

Dutch Gap was going to be my recommendation. You can do as much or as little as you want but it’s about as flat as trails come around here.

Echo lake in Glen Allen is a flat 3/4 mile stroll around the lake, water is in view 100% of the walk.

Dorey Park in Varina

sigh... not if they are paid minimum wage or more

It literally is, can get shut down real fast if enough people complain

Prob, but sadly they don’t get cash tips either

Unpopular opinion: Exactly why I don't tip when I pick up food. I worked in restaurants for a long time, and we used to always say, "If you don't wanna tip, order takeout." The idea of tipping someone for handing me a bag has never made sense.

henrico parks. Not much to speak of in Richmond.

Went in there Saturday night, staff skipped the tip screen so we put cash in the box... Wonder if that's why.

Fucking sucks if this is true.

I always made bank waiting tables when I was making below minumum wages, but when I was cooking running the kitchen, responsible for all the ordering and scheduling I still didnt make nearly what I made waiting tables.

The was a post about Shyndigz tipping on the FB Group “RVA Dine: The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly” on 4/16/2021 that blew up over there )link). The OP’s partner worked in the Market part and said the tips were not distributed but there was a lot of comments.

Bryan Park, Dorey Park, Echo Lake, Three Lakes, all have wooded trails with varying maintenance levels but all pretty easy, and they all have a nice flat circle around a lake if you don't feel like going into the woods.

fwiw i feel like i’ve heard this in every other thread that mentions shyndigz

would love to hear a current or former employee vouch for this, but it shouldn’t be hard to find in this sub

they would get a better income if restaurants weren't allowed to pay them below minimum wage on the off chance a customer feels like picking up the restaurant's slack.

If this is true its illegal. If you take away tips how do you plan on making employers pay more? Waiting tables is one of the few jobs left that can afford unskilled workers a good income.

Yes as I am very close to someone who has worked there until recently

most likely reason is they got rid of as many as possible so they could ban homeless people more easily. God forbid you go into a place without buying something, right?

Before the mob descends on Shyndigz, how do you know or how have you verified this info?

Why am I not surprised? Shyndigz loves grinding their staff into the ground. The whole idea of tipping makes it so much nore easy for restaurants to exploit their employees. We need to get rid of it and make places like that start paying the servers what they're actually owed.

>Ancarrow's Landing towards the Slave Trail. Park at Rocket's Landing and walk towards downtown.

I'm not sure if you're suggesting they walk from Rocketts to Anncarrows, but that's a very long walk. Ancarrows is across the river from Rocketts, and is a 3.4 mile walk to get there, all the way across the 14th St bridge, which means an almost 7 mile roundtrip back to the car. Quite a distance for someone with mobility issues, but Anncarrows does have a parking lot.

Perhaps you're referring to Shiplock Park on Dock St, which has a small network of dirt paths? In which case, OP could park in the parking lot at Shiplock, if it's not full.

Osbourne Landing has a few paved trails next to the river. Easy parking and a clean bathroom in the picnic pavilion.

The gravel path next to the train tracks in JRPS, accessed at Reedy Creek and other entrances, is pretty flat.
