So…My Former Employer won’t Respond to my Texts Regarding my Final Paycheck

So two weeks ago, I quit my job before my shift was due to start…Two days prior to that, the owners left me and another worker (a minor) to run their entire restaurant. Not the first time this has happened. The previous week, they left me in charge with two other cooks, no cashiers, no servers, nothing (sparked the two week notice). Add those two incidents to the day I quit before shift when I was asked to go to the store to buy supplies (I was off the clock) and then getting dragged into an argument between the manager and a server…yeah…I told the manager I quit and walked out. Same day get a text from the owner asking what happened…Told him, he then said he wanted to talk to me in person…I declined…Got a text telling me I needed to finish the two shifts (last weekend) because it…

Same day get a text from the owner asking what happened…Told him, he then said he wanted to talk to me in person…I declined…Got a text telling me I needed to finish the two shifts (last weekend) because it was “the right thing to do” I told him to mail my check…Like bruh what part of I quit do you not understand?

Yesterday I dropped off my shirt and a menu and the manager had me wait while she looked for my check…She said the owner must have it. I figured as much since I told him to mail it. I waited two weeks (this weekend makes two weeks) and still no check nor response via text or phone whether or not the check has been mailed…I even sent him a text citing the state law, and nothing…

He done fucked up and picked a fight with the wrong person over 40ish dollars (after taxes)…Next move will be sending the state and my attorney after him…And I might just be petty enough to post a review to their business FB, Yelp, etc. and spill EVERYTHING publicly
