Thankfully she just relies on the job for extra cash and doesn’t need to financially rely on a job thanks to privilege, but the fact that the restaurant forces their staff to cover fine and dash… It was a $200 order. Full family with kids and parents, uncles and aunts even, and they just booked it without a bill. Do they expect my sister to stop them? Grab them by the arm or some shit? They’re docking her pay for something that isn’t her fault, actually it doesn’t even come out of her pay check, she has to pay it. What if she didn’t have the money on hand? Just blows my mind this shit is legal. I’d quit, but apparently it’s a good job and she’s got more an ingrained appreciation for work ethic or something.
I also want to clarify, I’m not against someone dine and dashing if they need to, if it’s a big business that can cover it and or they’re financially suffering, but from my sister’s description it didn’t sound like that was remotely the case. Parents were smoking, everyone was well dressed, etc. I just hate that it falls on the fucking workers
