hi

ok. good. then the first thing you need to do is contact the corporate office. you can find it on the internet - call and speak to a representative there and let them know what is going on. make sure you get the name of the person you are talking to. they will send someone in to investigate the matter - what the managers are doing is not legal and does constitute theft. and, you also should contact your local department of labor and report what you have seen
