    I remember my first encounter with wage theft. Fortunately, I was drilled with the whole DONT WORK FOR FREE philosophy.

    Boss asked me to go grab some things from the supermarket before my shift. I said am I on the clock? He said, “It’s on the way. What’s the problem?”

    I pretended like I forgot and played stupid. And he sent me back out AFTER I clocked in.

      I’d have been like “What’s my budget?” and filled out an expense report and billed for my time. LOL.
