Restaurant Fires Waitress for Refusing to Cover Dine-And-Dash
Bill  It was bad enough when three men in her section decided to
skip out on a $96 bill, but it got a whole lot worse for
waitress Suzanne Parratt when she was subsequently fired from
her job for refusing to cover the unpaid tab.  The 31-year-old
server had been employed at the Pig N Whistle in Midtown
Manhatan since August without incident.  Then came last
Tuesday's dine-and-dash during the evening hours of a hectic
double shift.  "As soon as I realized, I went into full blown
shock and then a state of panic knowing that I'd be held
responsible for their $96 tab," Parratt told Gothamist.  She
tried to explain the situation to her manager, Eugene Wilson,
but says she was immediately slapped with a threat: Either she
covers the check or her coworkers will.  "I believe he said this
because it was relayed to him that I was not intending to pay
the tab, and he wanted to guilt me into it or he'd make my
coworkers pay for it," she is quoted as saying.  P
