Sigh... some people.
Ok it took 3 weeks but I finally got my first check. I make 10 cents less than the states minimum wage (might be legal because I live out of state and my state has a lower minimum wage). I got shafted by about 5 hours (Boss said 58 hours, I had worked at least 63, but I was too tired to argue.) AND I'm already 4 days late for my second check, no sign of it. If my third check isn't right and on time, I'm going to have to quite. I spend enough time working. I can spend an hour every night I have off going into work only to be told they dont have my check yet and to come back tomorrow. I keep telling myself, "Just five more months", but I already took a 50% paycut, a loss of about 12 hours a week and a MUCH MUCH worse job for these 6 months experience, if I've got to go through this crap every other week, it isn't worth it. I'll just get my msce and get into computer work. I can pull a working computer out of my rear and just cook recreationally.
(I'm a grunt at a kitchen. Started at the beginning of august. left a job sitting at a computer with internet for 9 hours a day at a scalehouse. I made more in a week at that job then in two weeks BEFORE TAXES (I've not filled my w4 yet) at this job.)
