I waited on a party of over 17 people. They kept moving around, there were kids running all around and screaming, I almost lost my cool. But, I handled it well. They were picky, but I put all their orders in, and they came out perfect. No one had to send anything back, and surprisingly enough I didn't forget anything. (I didn't even double check their order) So, they ate pretty quick, and some of them wanted to leave pretty quick. They all had separate checks. So, I did my best to split them up. I made a couple mistakes at first, but I corrected them. I THOUGHT everyone had paid me. People were just throwing money to me left and right, so I assumed I had the entire check. When I noticed there was still $57 remaining on the check (from about $260 or something) I just assumed I forgot to cash that part out, so I did. Later on when I went to cash out, I only had $16 in my pocked. Meaning, that $57 wasn't in fact there, and I just paid for it. When I realized what I had done, I just thought my boss would comp the $57 so I could get what is rightfully mine. She didn't. She said that she didn't want to have to lose HER job for helping me out. It's not common practice for a server to pay the check when someone walks out. We also do not pick up the check when a server messes up an order, or the customer doesn't like their food. It all gets comped by the restaurant.

So tell me this, why was I the ONLY one to have to pay the check? Supposedly I wasn't "paying attention." No, fuck that. I woke up this morning (still VERY upset at the situation) and wrote down their entire order FROM MEMORY. I also wrote down all the forms of payments I received and the amounts. I also tried to recall the bill that wasn't paid for, and I came within $10 of what I'm owed. (I don't have prices memorized) So really, how was I not pay attention? Anyway, since it's Sunday, corporate isn't open. I am making it my first priority to call corporate in the morning to speak with them. I'm also making it a priority to talk with my general manager (who has no idea what's even going on) tomorrow, since she's been off since Friday.

Can someone PLEASE give me some information, legal advice, or ANYTHING as to what I should do??

So, I'm currently experiencing financial troubles. Aren't we all? It really sucks even more because pretty much the entire country is, there's no money, jobs, there ain't shit. Because of all this, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get money for school. My cost of attendance for the year is an ESTIMATE of $10,000, which only includes classes. No books, anything. So it came to my attention today that the $13,000 I was rewarded wasn't actually official yet. I did all the paperwork, but that money isn't guaranteed (like I thought) So, because of this economic crisis, my parents have sacrificed a lot in the past year. My dad lost his job, and even though my mom works and makes "too much" I can't get funded through the government. So their credit has taken a slight downward fall, I can't (or probably) won't get that $13,000 anymore.

So here is my brilliant idea!!!!!!!!

So, instead of getting depressed and crying in the shower (like I just was) I decided to come up with a solution. I'm going to start a charity. Hear me out. People can donate money through my website. I don't know if I'll set up a webcam and be a slut, or people will just hear my cause and think what a desperate ass girl I am and help me out. But I also think that once I finish school, I will keep my charity up so that people can fund my trip to Jamaica. (this is where the stoner aspect comes into play) So I really want to go to Jamaica and become part of the Rasta lifestyle. I can get various pro-marijuana organizations and my fellow stoners across the WORLD to get my idea out!!! It will be the best!!!!!
