What is the name of your state? Texas
I was working at a topless adult nightclub as a cocktail waitress, I made quite a bit of money there. There was a situation where a customer thought he was being ripped off, the situation was handled and the customer was happy. However, he did leave me a rather large tip, which the club decided to fine me $175 for my mistake (Can they do that???) There was also another girl who was only supposed to receive $200, (as per management) but the club paid her $340. Well, I was upset considering I was supposed to receive about $600, and they only paid me $85. I was told by management not to ever mention the situation again or I was to be fired. I left it at that.
A week or so later, I went to work. The manager was outside when I pulled up and he told me to hurry up and get ready because it was busy inside the club. So, I went to the dressing room, and started getting ready. About 10 minutes later, the manager came into the dressing room and told me not to bother getting ready because I was fired. When I asked why, he told me that a customer had gone to the owner and said I was complaining that the club ripped me off. Unfortunately, I didn't mention any of this to any customer. I asked the manager who had gone to the owner, he said it was none of my business and to leave immediately. So, I just left... So, now I am out of a really profitable job... Was I wrongfully terminated???
