Until next-Friday. When my paycheck comes thru. I am running on fumes, because my boss had failed to pay me -- Since December / September / December. I have less than £30 in my bank account, and am dying here.
Anyone who would be kind enough to [strike]Donate[/strike] lend me Teh Cash for a week or two would be appreciated ... There might even be a GOODIYE in it for you at the end.
Anyone with a PayPal account welcome...
Please feed my starving babies :((

You've obviously never lent money to a Scotsman before.

If I wanted to be a dick I could mention that today is next Friday. But, I won't.

So yesterday was, in face, next Friday.
I did not get paid.
So I went in, and broke balls. Man, would you guys've been proud of me. Well, not really; I actually feel bad about what I did because I don't know if Jason is a generally nice man who had a bad time or if he's a generic asshole-manager who hides it well. Upshot: I have stated I will not be working again until some money appears. "Next Friday" apparently. He acted overly-pally to get over my hatred; the man rubbed my tummy. He fucking rubbed my tummy. I don't even know what my tummy is.

At least in the USA, you now have <i>a sexual harassment suit!</i>
That oughta be worth something. Unless tummy-rubs, snoggings, and the occasional shag are part of the usual employment contract in Britainistan or wherever the fuck you live.

He's CONTEMPTIBLE SLIME.
He got a guy to help out with his store without having to pay him. He's able to keep his costs down and provide an extra level of service for his store. The thing is, if "GAME" is run like EBs are over here, he's saving himself, what, $6 an hour multiplied by how many hours you work in a week -- what, 20 or something? So he saves himself less than a hundred pounds. If this piece of shit were ANY sort of manager whatsoever, he'd have been screaming at the corporate offices months ago. What a sack of garbage. He essentially has a customer helping to deflect pressure and problems away from his own worthless self.
What if you got hurt on the job? It's not unreasonable to think that it could happen. What if you tried to get an X-box off one of those high shelves they have, and you slipped and it fell on you? You'd end up with crushed bones and at least one collapsed lung. This fucking ape would do what for you, chuckle and rub some dirt on your tummy? FUCK THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.
Take this fucking horseshit company to court, man. Get your money. I don't know what the equivalent to small claims court is in the UK, but explain what went down to your old man and see what he says. I can tell you this:
1) He will
never go to bat for you or get you officially hired.
2) If you don't take these assholes to court, you will
never get paid.
3) As far as he is concerned, he got free labor for four months. There's no reason to concern himself with your well-being or what's fair from here on out.
What's this asshole's name? Give us a name a number and an address. Enough of this shit, Lex. We're your friends here. I'm not saying that we'd be able to get your money back, but we CAN harass the living fuck out of this guy by screaming "BATTLE RAPER" into the phone over and over again.
What a chunk of fucking filth.

That is a fucking cluster fuck Lex. He is just taking fucking advantage of you and it is BULLSHIT!
Even the old EB manager at my mall pulled this shit on the employees. This guy had a brain defect and still managed to manipulate the poor sods proving that it is probably part of the EB mangerial manual.
