2month to get payment

January 15, 2010

Establishment: anita’s crepe

Location: ballard

I worked there for 3 consecutive days, and during that time I was praise for the work I did. I was certain to get the job and I was rather excited about it, everybody was nice and low key.

As they were in the middle of interviewing people, the schedule was messy, so at the end of my third day GRG told me that he’d let me know the next time I should come.

He never called. More over, when I called, he didn’t have the guts to tell me that I didn’t make it for the position. He said something like: "Oh yeah … hum … well let me call you next week …"

As you imagine, next week came but no news from mother f#%*ing GRG.

So I call again, he’s not available, I call again and again.

Finally I learn from a third party that they hired 2 part-time for the hollydays.

Now I’m really pissed, I called until he’d answered, and when he did, I asked him to send me my check home.

1 week passes, 2 weeks … F*#k !!!! I call again and again, Never could get a hold on him.

So finally I decide to write an email to the owner, here below:

Anita,

A month and a half has passed since I last worked for you.
Still, I have not received payment for my time.
I have called a "couple" of times, even arranged with Greg to have it mailed at my address over at least 10 days ago.

I do not want to make it an issue, neither do I want to have to beg for it.
This is my due, for I have earned it.

I have totaled 17 hours within 3 days. Washington’s minimum wage in 2009 was $8.07/hour.

In hoping you take the required measures.
Sincere salutations.

The owner called right back, she had that very sorry voice, that can tenderize the toughest meat. And said she would put it in the mail the next day …

YEAH RIGHT … 10 days later I still didn’t receive anything, so I went there and sat in the dining room and asked for the check.

The check was there … in a reused envelope from which the previous address had been scratched off and my put on the side (with a mistake of course). CHEAP & LAME.

They say you can judge a place by its bathroom … @ least their bathroom was cleaner than the way they do business.
