Good Morning!
I'm from Flatbush
NY Smash (1360 Coney Island Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11230) is Sephardi-owned and under Tartikov supervision. Daytime relies on the owner; evenings previously lacked a frum presence.
Key Issues:
- July: Reported no frum staff evenings to Reb Yechiel Babad. They hired a Sephardi girl with minimal halachic/kashrus knowledge to stand at the register.
- September: Found she was training a non-Jewish employee to do her job, claiming the owner would be present while the new employee was working. The next day (11:30 PM), no Jewish staff; non-Jews said mashgicha quit, and the owner left at 6 PM. Babad's son falsely claimed via text that a Jew was present—I told him he's being misled or worse.
- Current: Mashgicha returned only because the owner withheld her last paycheck; she is not comfortable reporting to the Department of Labor and plans to quit soon due to low pay ($17).
- Ongoing: Non-Jewish griddle worker cracks eggs directly onto the hot surface without blood-spot checks—unlikely incentivized to inspect.
Who can I report this to for real pressure on the hashgacha or store?
Thank you,
