Merle's Deli: Embarrassing Times
At this very moment there are three or four ex-employees of Merle's Deli protesting outside their former workplace. They are holding signs, demonstrating that they have not yet been paid for their work at Merle's. One sign says "don't eat here until we get paid!" Merle's is open today for brunch. I imagine that Jen is waitressing while Erick and Brad are in the kitchen. I was unable to see how many patrons were in the establishment.
I sympathize with these people who have not been paid. I received a cheque from Brad, the manager and acting-owner, that I could not cash. After three visits to the bank (the branch that backs the cheque) I was finally able to cash it! I know of at least two other employees that are yet to be paid, and they were not protesting when I walked by.
Today I wished I had a digital camera so I could better capture this embarrassing moment. I think I'll return to Merle's and inform the protestors to persist for cash if Brad offers them cheques!
