My boss delayed my check and now I’m stuck

I'm supposed to have been paid. I have not been paid. Store owner ran out of money. Apparently he says he “reserves the right to delay my paycheck up to 14 days” and as such, I'm currently looking at a big i.o.u. for who knows when instead of my paycheck. Now I'm trying to stretch 55 bucks until who knows when. I can't just quit, it's nearly the only job near me that would hire me and I make (when the checks come through) more than most similar jobs in my area, but if I have to deal one more delayed paycheck or another stupid prank caller calling in an order for a “cock pizza” during a massive phone line jam I may just have to figure out how to handle living without any money until he legally has to pay. I doubt this is a good subreddit for this,…

I doubt this is a good subreddit for this, but oh my God I need to get this out.
