My butt got slapped one too many times as a college kid working in a grocery store in 1994. When I quit and he went after me for a bad check I cashed (the check verification machine was on the fritz and I had even checked ID) ...by withholding my tiny $104 paycheck, I took the bus to the federal labor board and reported him for not paying overtime for 3 years. Two weeks after I quit, federal officers showed up and spent 1 full week going thru his records. Mr. Tait of "Tait SuperValue" in Iowa had to pay 3 years worth of overtime to hundreds of employees (plus interest and fines) all because of butt slaps and a $104 check! I hope he never slapped another butt other than his own EVER again!report abuse
