Hey, remember Gavin Newsom and Democrats locked everyone in their homes during COVID, yet Newsom still went out (maskless) to the French Laundry restruant and it became a national scandal.. Well everything Newsom touches turn to shit… First the state, now the French Laundry.
A world-renowned Napa Valley restaurant has been hit with bombshell claims of unpaid wages and vile bathrooms.
Elena Flows Beteta is suing French Laundry and Thomas Keller Restaurant Group over alleged violations of the California labor code, per the Press Democrat.
Beteta, who worked as a dishwasher from 2022-2025, filed the suit in Napa County Superior Court on behalf of her and “over fifty current and former aggrieved employees,” she claims.
They claim the restaurant and its owners failed to “consistently pay for all hours worked, including overtime hours.”
Beteta and the other employees allege they were repeatedly “required to work off the clock” and to complete “post-shift tasks” for which they were unpaid, such as cleaning walls and mopping floors.
One of the more shocking allegations included employee bathrooms were a 10-minute walk from the restaurant, located inside a nearby storage unit and “consistently filthy,” the lawsuit states.
