Ding Tea Atlanta — Restaurant in Atlanta

Treated my daughter horribly over a common practice done in the store ( Did not reprimand anyone else) , Spoke to her & her coworker with such disrespect whilst also telling her coworker they would not pay her even though she was clocked in and hours were approved by manager during a recorded conversation. I have never heard of such illegal & bullying practices taking place in a country with rights in place to protect Employers and Employees. My child’s paychecks have come up missing on multiple occasions with no communication about it whilst others paychecks were always present on pay days even whilst being a reputable worker , and doing many side tasks for said owners . Owner even goes on & says that she doesn’t care what is or isn’t illegal even if her practices infringe on Georgia State Labor Laws, Parents please don’t send your child to work here !

Updated Reply: You’ve never communicated that issue with her for her to explain her end or rectify your perception of the situation, whilst your senior workers + every other worker including her manager do the same. She’s paid on multiple occasions both working and not and told you she’ll show receipt proof , she’s even came down one day last week to get a drink and was told by her manager just go and make it. With that being said , there’s space to see the situation from her perspective especially since the money she uses to print things out for you surpass the amount of the drinks with the discount. She can’t “make” herself food , as she doesn’t work in the kitchen, she would have to pay to even get the food. Even then , my issue isn’t even firing her , it’s how you interacted with her and her coworker after the fact. She showed you massive respect and gave you transparency just for you to lie and disrespect her! So if you would like to talk about the disrespect you showed , lowering her pay from the pay she signed and agreed to due to miscommunication between you and your husband, her paycheck not being with others multiple times ,you saying you won’t pay them , you saying you don’t care about the illegal actions you’re taking and asking her to make fake reviews for you then please reach out to me by all means. But you’ve blatantly ignored all of those complaints , so we have absolutely nothing to speak about.

Again Parents don’t let your children work here. They’re not a responsible...

Not my favorite ding tea location in GA, but it’s the closest to me so I’ll go here on days when I don’t want to travel far. I’ve been here a few times throughout the past couple years, but it looks like there is new management. Service sucks. I’m not expecting a happy worker all the time, but sitting at the tables with your head down, airpods in one ear, and a deadpan expression isn’t the most inviting. We went during opening hours and called ahead of time to make sure since it was around the holidays. Got here around 4:30 (opened at 4pm) and the back door was still locked. Tried knocking for a while but two workers didn’t notice since one was on their phone sitting at the table. We eventually had to call the store to get their attention. No other customers were there at the time, but it took over 15-20 mins for them to finish 2 drinks. Halfway through they come to tell us “we are out of yakult and boba” This information should’ve been relayed a little sooner…. I understand ingredients get sold out, but boba is typically prepped fresh every few hours, so if you were out it would have been nice to know right away rather than paying for it and waiting 15-20 mins. we don’t mind waiting for a topping to finish, but to be told you’re completely out after 15-20mins is annoying. they have also watered down...

Definitely not a place you should work and or visit especially as a college student. This specific location improperly trains its staff simply for the sake of having the shop up and running, Owners only coming in to provide food items running low . This leaves employees completely unprepared when dealing with customers , hence the multiple bad reviews in the last month. Ding Tea Owner Anna, tells it’s workers to not only lie in response to public reviews left but to leave fake good ones to present themselves as an up to par establishment instead of actively fixing the problem being poor management. Not only do they treat employees poorly in their choice of words , behavior and communication with them not only when teaching them during training but also during conflict resolution matters. They also put no “real” sanitation regulations in place to protect customers & their health. Sanitation buckets being empty for days in a row with no response to it not being done , things that need to be sterilized and thoroughly washed only being rinsed with water.

This is all in all an establishment that needs work from top to bottom , starting from the character of the bosses to the confusion...
