"Tang Kee Bao Dian" is an interesting dim sum and steamed rice chain store founded in 2007. It is a catering brand under J&D Holdings Limited. This chain specializes in Hong Kong Chinese buns, dim sum and steamed rice. Their headquarters is located in Kwun Tong Kai Luen Industrial Center, and they have dozens of branches across Hong Kong so far! Many of these branches are located within MTR stations, so gourmets can conveniently enjoy delicious Tang-style buns on the go.

Some time ago, an artist published an interesting "recruitment advertisement" in a newspaper. The content went something like this: "We work 9 hours a day, with no rest time and only 15 minutes to eat, but we can work while eating." ” What he was talking about was the pro-China company Tang Ji Bao Dian. The purpose of his article is to draw social attention to the meal arrangements of employees in the catering industry. "Tang Ji" later clarified that the meal time for employees is actually half an hour, but is the half-hour meal time enough for the catering industry?
After checking with the frontline clerk, the cashier sister said that generally early clerks will return to the store at 6:30 or 7:00. After the busy period, there is only a 15-minute breakfast time around 9:00. It turns out that employees of the pro-China company "Tang Ji" have to stand for nine hours every day. Except for the cashier who can occasionally secretly lean against the wall to take a breather, there are no chairs for other positions. Even during periods when there are fewer customers, they cannot take a break and can only power off for half an hour during lunch time. During lunch, she said she would go to the public restroom in the back alley of the kitchen to rest or eat. After eating, she would chat with the cleaning staff and the employees of neighboring stores, clean her lunch box, refill the thermos with warm water, and then quickly return to her job.
Noting that the flow of people in this shop is not as busy as the subway station branch, another female employee has worked in the catering industry for many years. She optimistically said that the busyness at "Tang Ji" is not as busy as that of the tea restaurant. Although she has to stand for 9 hours a day, She's used to it. She smiled and said: "I hope the store can be busier, so that I can have a chance to get some extra bonuses. When I save enough money, I can have a chance to escape from bad luck!" 』The frontline staff are all female, and the kitchen staff are all male. Middle-aged workers over forty will not be recruited. The report states that this is an unwritten rule of the store, and the age discrimination label and gender role stereotyping culture in traditional Chinese society. Be legally manifested in this enterprise.
The quality of the food is not compromised, it is fast and cheap; for this reason, it is okay to give this restaurant a two-star rating objectively and rationally. However, every time I patronize such a chain enterprise that adopts sad operating methods, I can't help but feel that it is contributing to a sad and cruel trend of inhumane business management. Gourmets who know the truth may not find much human touch in the employment relationship here. Although it is not an emotional story about eating steamed buns with human blood and surviving in the stone forest, after all, it is a free economy guided by supply and demand policies. . It’s hard to say whether you want to come or not.
