He’s A Paid In The A**

(I was hired to work as a barista/waitress for a cafe and restaurant. On my first day I’m warned by one of the other workers that it can be difficult to get the boss to pay you on time. The chefs are all from India and have very little English. The boss is also Indian with excellent English, but the front of house staff are all New Zealand women. After several weeks of issues with pay not being paid on Thursday like promised, and only getting paid for 20hrs instead of 40, I quit.)

Me: “Here is my letter of resignation.”

Boss: “But you can’t leave! You’re my best worker!”

Me: “But you don’t pay me correctly!”

Boss: “You white girls, wanting to get paid every week!” *laughs*

Me: “…”

(I found out a few weeks later that not only had he taxed me and didn’t declare it but he also declared bankruptcy.)
