the store manager will tell her to just put the cheque in the atm, wherein because her paycheques have bounced so many times, that her entire account will be on hold for at least a week.

it will generally take 2 to 3 weeks for her to actually get any money


I realize this is really bad and more than likely illegal

what should she do? Can we (this is me fantasizing about it) **** them over


Get a new job.

I regret I have no ethnic or national minorities to slander. I do have a possible solution, however. Your girl friend can contact the nice people at the federal Labour program. Their number is 1-800-641-4049. They can advise her on filing a wage complaint. There is also the nice folk at workrights. See http://www.workrights.ca/content.php?doc=98

Good luck

Seriously. I'm shocked -- shocked! -- that a comparison to Hitler hasn't been made yet. This is the internet, after all. I mean, come on.

Since he is Sri Lankan, he may be a Tamil. The Tamil Tigers, who up until recently were fighting a civil war for the Tamil people, were one of the originators of the suicide bombing. Islamofascists also use suicide bombings. And we all know that Hitler was a fascist. So it's possible that this man has fascist leanings and at least a passing admiration of Hitler.

If he's not Tamil and instead a Sinhalese, the dominant ethnic group of Sri Lanka, his people are responsible for widespread abuse and discrimination against minority ethnic groups. Do you know who else liked to discriminate against minorities? Hitler. Nice to see this Sri Lankan Italian restaurant owner keeping up Hitler's work. Shame on him.

I can't say for sure, but I suspect the Marroquians may be somehow involved.

Looks like we have another Hitler sympathizer here. What kind of stove do you prefer for your vegetarian diet, gas, electric or one that runs on the bodies of your Jewish victims?
