When I was 17 I once worked for a pizza place not far from my house, my title was 'delivery/errand boy.' When we weren't delivering pizzas (which was often, the place sucked) I'd be washing the dried tomato sauce scum off of the pots that have been boiling over all day. The owner of the building was a real asshole. I didn't have a GPS at the time, so whenever I had a delivery, the boss would pull out the map, look for the person's house, and give me shitty directions how to get there. He would get irritable with me when I didn't understand and for some reason he wouldn't just let me look at the map myself.
The day I was hired I told him there was one day I wasn't able to work because of a 50th anniversary party for my grandparents, but he put me on the schedule for that day anyway. He called me that afternoon asking where I was and I told him I wouldn't have been able to make it and that I told him that the day he hired me. He hung up the phone on me.
The next day I called to know when I was working next, he said "You're not."
Ok so I went in the following week to collect my check, and he said he couldn't run me through the payroll because he didn't have my SSN. So i gave it to him and returned the following week. He said he still didn't have it and told me to come in the next Tuesday. On Tuesday he wasn't there. I came in the next day and he said he still didn't have it. I told him I was going to call the police if he thinks he's not going to pay me and said "FINE GO AHEAD"
The police said they wouldn't do anything about it because it's a civil case and not a criminal case, but they referred me to the Better Business Bureau and I filed a claim with them. About two months later I received a letter from the BBB that said they recovered my wages and inside was a check for 14 hours worth of work, after taxes it was something like $40. It was basically nothing but I was happy to know that he probably received some fines or something for what he did. I still hate the guy and still have to fight off the temptation to slash his tires next time I see his car. I'm glad I only had to deal with it for a couple days though. My co workers at the time had been working there for years. Those miserable fucks...
