Jeez.....
When you are making 5 bucks an hour (because of tips) and you are about to get stuck paying out 50 bucks because someone decided to walk and not pay their bill, yeah, I would chase them down!!!
And you’d lose your life over 50$. Trust me, once you’ve seen it and thought it through removing emotion, you’d logically deduce that 50$ isn’t worth your life. It’s literally beyond comprehension to think otherwise. You’re literally placing your life on the line to a company that is paying 5$ an hour on a 50$ tab. Maybe it’s time to rethink employment status, company selection or career choice.
