Helplessly, he said, "Ok! We can talk, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Pay back the wages you deducted from me. Today is my last day working here!" Simone said.
"Is that all?"
The restaurant owner was stunned, somewhat unable to understand, but greatly shocked. He had thought the other would ask for thousands of US Dollars as hush money.
Just for those few hundred dollars in wages?
"Fxxk you! What do you take us for? Burglars? We are ethical people; hurry up and do it!" Simone cursed.
"Ok." The restaurant owner wilted.
A mixed-race Black person coming over, getting choked by her boyfriend, and then talking about ethics; the world had really changed.
Minutes later, both parties sat down, negotiated amicably, and resolved the matter. The restaurant owner willingly agreed to pay triple the deducted wages, giving Simone her deducted wages plus double pay for a day, adding up to $760, and requested them not to make the video public.
Simone readily agreed.
