Got someone paid yesterday

So I have been working in a Restaurant again. Yay. Anyway, it’s pretty good, aside from the fact I don’t want to work in restaurants, I can’t complain. Yesterday, we had a new guy in. I was talking to the chef and honestly I don’t remember how it came up, but it turned out the guy was not getting paid. It was a trial shift. Big nope. I told him that was illegal, that yes other places might do it, but illegal shit happens all the time in restaurants, doesn’t mean we have to. Chef agreed to pay the guy. It was only for 3 hours, but still. I don’t know if it’s illegal or not to be honest. But I do know it’s wrong. Don’t be silent. That’s being complicit. Take that stand. It can work out well.
