Threatening Wage Theft

In my state, it is illegal for employers to divert employee paychecks to pay for company equipment. Yet, this manager is threatening to take out of paychecks to pay for broken blenders… I worry that many of the workers there, who are minors, are not aware of this law and may be exploited for an easy-to-make mistake during rushes… if the blenders are that easy to break, that seems less like the minimum wage-making employee's problem, and moreso a reflection of the company's shoddy equipment and maintenance…had a shift where literally all blenders were broken.
