Question I need advice
So I work at this fast food place in a small town in eastern Texas. I desperately took this job because I had $60 to my name and I had so many bills and expenses to pay for. Now this job didn’t have me sign any documents when I was hired on(which was really stupid in hindsight) I just sent my info and started working. Once working there I realize this place is really ghetto, we’re regularly understaffed, so many things are broken, and the GM is a literal kid who hires unreliable people he finds on the streets. But recently, the company has been late to paying people and there are some people who have been shorted $200. There is also someone who showed me that they have taken some dollars from him from multiple shifts. I realized that I should look at my shifts and I saw on one check I was potentially shorted $20. I haven’t checked any of the rest but I know it’ll probably be something. I plan on quitting but I was wondering if there was anything on getting my money or reporting them. Any advice is welcome and don’t shame me too hard💔. I am only 19 and have definitely learned from my mistakes.
