Dear sir(s)
We live in northern Wi. in a small community. My wife works in a local Restaurant where the owner is an Alcoholic with an abusive son as the cook. The other day she bought her son birthday dinner at the Restaurant. She did not pay for the check and set it to the side in the waitress station. She wanted to talk to the manager to get an employee discount. Which is what every body does. The manager did not show up that night so she kept the check in the station. The next day the owner called her up and fired her for stealing. She did not talk to the owner that night because he is always drunk and makes no sense when you try to have a conversation with him. We were wondering if this is legal to fire her on such a minor infraction. If she wanted to steal from him she could of very easily tore up the ticket. In his drunken polluted mind he would of not known the difference. She does not want to work there but was trying to get through the winter until spring to find a new job. Business owners up in this area think they can push the little people around when business is slow in the winter and then cry the blues when business picks up during tourist season with no help. My question is? Is there any thing one can do to not let this drunken bum do this to someone else?
Thankyou
