she grabbed the wrong can of soda, the boss made her open them first then she brought it to the table. after that he yelled at her and is now making her pay for them. he said it was her fault for not remembering. so who's fault is it and can he do that? can we report it to someone? this is in the state of WI. thanks to all answers!

  1. it wasn't her fault because he was the one that made her open it  and she should definately quit and give a little quarrell cuz he is just trying to be unreasonable


  2. well since it was soda already in a sealed container I dont think she should pay even if it was her mistake because had she not opened them they could have just been switched. Honestly I dont think anything can be done, if she wants to keep her job she should reimburse him or she can refuse to pay and quit.

  3. ITS A LOCATION FOR DRINKS. IT IS NOT RIGHT TO MAKE THE WAITRESS PAY FOR ANYTHING. SOMETIMES THINKS HAPPEN I WASN'T HR FAULT NO MATTER WHAT THE BOSS SAYS. YOU CAN REPORT IT TO THE PERSON OVER THE BOSS LIKE THE OWNER.

  4. I would say no.  All companies realize waste regardless of whose fault it is.  He would have to show me either in an employee manual where it says I have to reimburse the restaurant for mistakes.  What if the cook burns something or doesn't cook it to order and it hits the trash?  Is his paycheck going to get debited for that as well?

  5. nope!

  6. If the rule is in writing, then, yes they can make you pay.

  7. unless she was drinking it she has no obligation to pay for a mistake- whether or not it was hers or his.!

  8. I used to work with this lady that wasted 50 food items every lunch rush. No joke, there was a pile on top of the oven. I thought that was normal, until I started working it. She made entire orders disappear. Thank god she quit, d**n.

    Your friend needs to quit, that job's not worth staying at, her boss is an idiot.

  9. They can or will if it happens a lot.  If the waitress is ordering the wrong drinks all the time and the owner or manager makes her pay for it, she is lucky because she isn't getting fired.  Don't order the wrong drinks

  10. any reasonable boss wouldn't- mistakes happen- and if you did pay, then you should at least get to drink it.
