ILoveBigCockroaches's journey

I recently went through a frustrating experience as a barista where I was trained for 41.5 hours without pay. During the interview, I was promised a full-time position, but when the schedule came out, I was only assigned 12 hours, and one of those days I had requested off. After I reached out to my boss to express my concern about needing more hours and asked about being compensated for the training, I was removed from the staff group chat and have not heard back since. It feels like I was used for free labor, especially since I only made $1 in cash during that time. I spoke with some coworkers who mentioned that unpaid training is not uncommon there, but I believe this is illegal. I don’t have formal proof except for some notes I took on my phone and potentially video surveillance from the restaurant. I'm considering filing a wage complaint with my state's labor department to address this situation.
