Sarah Beth,
When I started this research project I never thought that I would get attacted to it. I'm starting to see things that I never knew were there, and I'm slowly finding out that other people feel the same way I do about this job. People are slowly letting there true feelings about Pete's unravel, this place really does get to you and start to screw with your head.There are many things that I'm finding out but what is making me dig deeper in my observations and research is why the main question that is.."Why isn’t anyone standing up and saying something, if everyone feels the same way that I do about this place?" I think I might know some reasons why but I'm not ready to reveal my conclusions until I know for a fact that they are concrete. This question is really important, because when I interview co-workers they begin to tell me how they truly feel but then they shy away because of this fear...this fear that the owners have imbedded into everyone. Every night both of the owners come into the bar at least twice a day and observe everyone..their doing their own research. I believe there picking out what’s wrong and getting rid of the weak ones and improving and competing with other bars to become the best. There harsh and they don't care who they hurt. You will never get a raise, you will never get over time for as long as you work there because they don't believe in it.

It's great to hear you are seeing things you didn't know were there. What a great question - if many people feel the same way you do, why aren't they saying/doing anything about it? This seems like something you could research answers to (and could very easily be connected to the cult mentality article/idea you were mentioning). I think there are probably articles out there about how people get stuck in awful working conditions, and don't know how or feel unable to speak up. I know there are restaurant chains that have gotten sued for treating their employees badly, and it's possible you could find connections between this question you are asking and other articles written about other restaurants where similar problems took place. It sounds like your interviews will be an important source for your project, and that you are getting some real answers this way because these people are opening up about how they truly feel. Your project is really coming together, and this latest focus you've mentioned seems fantastic (and researchable).
