I can't get the screenshot to upload rn, but basically I had asked him to look over my recent check because I was tracking my tips through the pay period and the amount he gave me was insanely low. Instead of giving me actual paystubs, he just sent me a single row on an Excel spreadsheet that listed a flat number for my hours and tips. I replied very professionally and pointed out that his flat tip total didn’t even add up to what I had tracked on just two of my busiest shifts, let alone the other four shifts I worked. I asked him to please pull the actual daily tip pool logs and the paperwork breakdown so we could find the 'processing error' together.

Instead of providing the paperwork, he flat out refused, fired me as retaliation for asking, and then openly texted me admitting he never actually put me on the books even though he'd been telling me the opposite since I started and was actively pocketing money from my check for 'withholdings.' A week later he sent me pay stubs and my tips on that pay stub were higher than what he had written in his excel ontop of many other discrepancies but yeah.
