    Hard to get use to eating healthy again now that I can buy fresh fruit every few days. Just stop on the way home. That's what I eat for breakfast at work.

    The other day I was farting every step I took from eating so much fruit. Someone would come the other way and I would stop and make believe I was looking out the window. Whatcha doing Steve? Oh, I thought I saw an animal outside (While I'm squeezing my cheeks). Ok, move along dink weed then back to my office leaving a trail of hazardous gas.

    That's the way it is over there from what I hear. On the other hand. We have a gas station in town with a convenience store owned by a family from India and they are all super!!! They have the cheapest price on gas, cigarettes and everything else. Place is packed all the time.

    Now if you haul them side by side can you still hear them talking?

    There has got to be a way to prevent this .

    Can you Tarp them tight enough to get you down the road?

    Department of labor won't do a thing, they will tell you to take him to court.

    Just have him file in small claims court in your county and see where that goes, most likely the judge or referee will side with him and not the company.

    See this is a paycheck dispute, not a labor dispute and to waste time chasing money owed will just delay any positive outcome, so small claims court is the answer.

    sorry didn't read it all but if he got stuck off to the side as you indicate then it can be shown as a preventable and it's on him.

    I just resolved a similar problem with my former employer through the labor board, he said I had $400 unreturned equipment, labor board asked him for the written authorization he didn't have any, case closed.
