In the past year over $1,000 in cash, food, clothing, and other small personal belongings have been stolen from the employee area at CPK Northgate. These thefts are routinely reported to the management, but no action has yet been taken to rectify the situation. Due to these incidents and a lack of action, morale and trust are understandably down and several employees have left CPK--in-part--because of these repeated incidents.


Because our parking is at a heavily trafficked mall in Seattle, it is unreasonable to ask employees to leave items such as purses, jackets, and umbrellas in their cars (or, for those who take the bus, in no provided area at all!). This problem is, of course, compounded now that the employee area is being removed due to electrical/safety concerns.

We respectfully ask that lockers (that can be locked) be installed somewhere in the back-of-house area (hallway to office? blocking the largely unused server station swinging doors? by the office? etc) for employees that wish some level of security for their purses, jackets, phones, and other small personal items.

The traction on this petition proves management cannot keep ignoring our safety concerns. Post this link on Facebook and text three coworkers today to keep the pressure mounting.

I had $70 stolen recently - and find this to be a major issue not having lockers and/or cameras. As an employee,we should feel comfortable leaving our belingings while at work

I left Cpk in June 2013 after over seven years of employment. Two months prior, in April 2013, a coworker stole nearly a whole months rent money out of my purse. I was assured by the management that something would be done so that this wouldn't happen again. Nothing was done. The employee suspected in the theft began verbally taunting and harassing me, and still nothing was done. The lack of action by Cpk management tells the thief that it's ok to steal so long as he doesn't get caught. Send the right message. Get lockers and show all staff, BOH and FOH that their safety and security at work matters.

In the time that I worked at CPK, I never had anything stolen, but I knew so many co-workers who did. It is so devastating, especially since servers work SO hard for that money. One of CPK's mottos is to "set each other up for success," and I think that having lockers or some way of protecting one's possessions while working is an important step in setting employees up for success!

Hourly employees should have a place to safely store personal belongings.

I wholeheartedly support the installation of lockers in the employee room. During my time at CPK I not only had my own personal belongings taken, but knew of many other situations in which lockers would have prevented theft from coworkers. This will only improve employee morale and overall security in the restaurant, as well as send the appropriate message to the parties at fault.

I have heard from several employees that they have had money stolen from them in the employee room recently. It's a huge problem since we all carry cash on us during work, and I don't feel like I can trust anyone I work with at this point.
