Just started working at a cafe that has extremely high turnover. Bad owners/managers who nitpick, expect a ton, and don't hesitate to demean or belittle in front of customers. As such, a lot of people quit without notice- they just walk. When a person does this, whatever hours the person is owed are paid at minimum wage rather than their standard hourly rate. In some cases, this can be $7-10 dollars difference per hour. Management assures me this is legal. Feels deeply shitty and suspicious at the least, but curious to hear what you all have to say.
