- Last week, an anonymous tip came into TMJ4's newsroom about a situation unfolding at Jake's Restaurant in Brookfield. The tip said that employee's paychecks were bouncing when they deposited them, and that the state had come and shut the restaurant down.
On Wednesday, June 19th, Jenna Rae went to Jake's. A sign on the door said it was closed for maintenance. Rae knocked anyways.
The general manager opened the door and said the owner wasn't there. Rae left her card for the owner to call her, but never heard from him.
Today, we talked with three employees who said their paychecks have bounced more than once, and they want their money.
The employees from Jake's Restaurant wanted to protect their identities by being anonymous.
"They bounced right when we have to pay our bills. We have to pay our rent and stuff," employee one said.

Back in the 80s, La Petite France as it was failing, tried to pull this no-pay stunt. The owner found himself surrounded by a very angry kitchen staff and ended up paying us all cash. Restaurant owners are assholes.
When you pay your staff a slave wage you just see them as slaves and treat them as such
When the first check bounces RUN don't walk as fast as you can
I laughed when the guy said " i tried to quit" if you want to quit then do so.
Jake is a snake.
Jake’s don’t pay!
Oh would you look at that, a restaurant owner not paying their employees a fair wage... or a wage at all.
This is why need to end tip wages, and increase IRS funding. So many small business owners are corrupt as fuck. They just hide behind the "I am a local business" innocent mask, and people will bend over backwards for them, and not realizing they are fucking over their 5 other neighbors and themselves.
LOL. Um, WHAT? By that reasoning you'd put the few restaurants still in business out of business. I'm not condoning this restaurant not paying these people what they owe them, but what are you talking about? What is "IRS funding"? 😂😂😂😂😂. IRS "FUNDING"???????? Bernie, please, stop. LOL.
Is jake alive!?
Business owners especially Restaurants are susceptible to economic downturns. Exactly why Banks don’t borrow to Restaurants unless well funded.
Facts
@@NONAME-ut6vb"I illegally and simply, don't want to pay my employees in order for me to still have money"
Did any of you graduate college?
Wont "loan."
If he was going broke the owner should have closed down the restaurant rather than cheating hard-working people who trusted him.
It’s like one arm bandits you keep playing thinking the next pull you’ll strike it rich …
there are government agency's that take care of this problem.
Sounds like a economic issue that's what used to happen during the Great depression rubber checks
Just yesterday you didn't have a single error in your comment. Look how far you've regressed since then :(
Vote Joe Biden back in office you'll see more of this
Yes! How dare Joe Biden force a restaurant owner in Brookfield to not pay his employees! 😂
Or vote the same party back in who thinks that employers shouldn’t pay their employees fair wages; passing the buck onto the customer who’s also not paid well because Conservatives are anti-union and believe that “You should just feel grateful to have a job”.
@@GonzoLibre-pl3lc okay Joe Biden
Guess you missed out on that free public education, eh? Charter school?
Takes a whole lotta dumb to make a statement like that.
What? Making people pay the taxes they owe?? HELL YEAH!!!
People don’t care.
I will be posting the person's name and address who sent the "anonymous tip" here
No one cares, Captain Cholesterol
