He was lucky you didn’t go to Federal Wage and Hour. A bounced paycheck usually means a penalty of 3x the paycheck’s value, payable to you. At least it did when an employer bounced a check to me.

Some owners act as if they are doing you a huge favor by paying you minimum wage.

So ALLLLLL you do all day is work a job that pays your rent, and you speak French? LAME! Why aren't you an astrophysicist? Neil Degrasse Tyson is one. It's not that hard.

Please, continue to play Six Degrees of Barely Relevant so I can come up with a reason to give you sixty cents off…

"I don't need to justify how I earn a living any more than you do."
