Yes but if it's franchises go bankrupt with stores. Means they might not get anything. There need laws that says u go bankrupt all ur bills and money to pay people. Is consolidated you need pay no matter what. REMEMBER ITS A FRANCHISE RESTAURANT NO BO JANGLES. THAT MEANS THEY PUT SIGN UP AND PROVIDE PRODUCT. Owners r responsible for hiring and paying vendors and employees. So for example if he owns 7 stores he owes 2 million on all the buildings plus a million on employees vendors. After sale he should have to pay what is left. Just like people u go bankrupt other than medical every needs consolidated. Plus banks need know what u wrote off. Example I heard a guy spent like 30000 on like tv computer goes bankrupt. Then in a year banks give more CC out we'll say 20000 goes bankrupt after the 7 yrs. This shouldnt happen plus to get help why u loss job wife has cancer bills piling up. When u use CC for stupid stuff. There is difference. This was example or close to it guy went bankrupt 3 times so he didn't have to pay CC. The point is I don't care if ur mom and pop restaurant or Amazon. Everything is consolidated. Some people like I guess trump for example goes bankrupt don't pay people then banks loan more money.

@@MrBadjohn69 gov don't have laws that need be there if a franchise owns five stores net worth of three million. They should pay out of own pocket. Don't care what it's worth quit allowing bankruptcy for people or business. To not pay everything. U consolidate and pay. All employees and companies u own money. Some restaurants go bankrupt. Year later start another business. WHY SHOULD THIS BE ALLOWED. ESPECIALLY IF U Didn't PAY FIRST DEBT. EXAMPLE a person over does CC and all that for stupid reason. If u go bankrupt and all money is cleared banks will give person more CC maybe loans car house. To go bankrupt again. Don't get me wrong if ur family has serious medical problems like cancer. Yes on medical debt maybe if only income father lost job he had cancer yes. If ur overspending because u want new technology. Like on guy 3 times got CC spent 10s thousands then bankrupt all three times with over spending on technology. How bout this like paying off school loans. Gov let's u go bankrupt or pay off. NO VOTING NO CC NO LOANS 20YRS. Especially loans u can't pay why give u more loans. Let say u go to school write a book. U think living off gov til u have best seller. The degree ur getting unless great pay over min wAge. U chose school pay for it. If u don't pay home loans u lose it. College part this includes everyone on loan. How bout laws kids needs job if they want loan. Don't blame gov for ur choices. Like Biden wants to go by what u make. So one person makes 10 hr gets 150 payment 15 hr gets 250 payment. Then after 10yrs. Same loan same school and degree. That's discrimination and hate crime racism. Democrats r only helping women minorities mainly. Simple no more pay off after so many years. IF U MAKE ALL PAYMENT 0% TILL OUT OF SCHOOL, THEN 3% AFTER. U MISS 3% DURING 8% AFTER. PLUS ANYONE DOES EXTRA WORK IN FIELD AFTER 10yrs. Gets 20% off entire bill. For example if a lady on fixed income welfare no job during COVD got rent help free. Know reason that money couldn't pay students loans down. If same with 100 wk job lost she made 450 instead of 50 plus rent 600 gov pays. WHY THE HELL WASNT THEY PUTTING TOWARDS LOANS. EXTRA 1000 MO. THE GOV SAYS U DONT. TO ME UR ON FIXED INCOME NO JOB U GOT EVEN DURING COVD NO PAYMENT KICKED OUT. UR ON WELFARE NO TAXES FOOD STAMPS AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLUS FREE INSURANCE. U WASNT HURT BY COVD. AGAIN WOMEN MINORITIES. RACISM AND HATE CRIMES. THEN BIDEN WANTS TO GIVE LOWER PAYMENTS TO THEM. EQUALITY U WANT EQUAL TO MAN OR WHITE. BLACKS WHINE SAME AS WOMEN. THEN STEP UP. U NEED MAKE EQUAL PAYMENTS LIKE THEM. TAKE CARE OF UR KIDS LIKE A MAN SHOULD. MEANS NO GOV HELP

Your comment is VERY close to what happened here. My mom was a BP Gas Station franchise owner. They have vetting and an approval process where the people who approve are also franchise owners in the area along with business reps for the BP company. Here is the thing, if people on that board are shady, more than likely they will approve like minded individuals. So yea.....I am willing to bet they are selling their franchises to people with questionable and unethical backgrounds.

That sounds like a classic sign that the owner/manager is deeply addicted to drugs and/or gambling. And others suffer because of it.

This is a lesson that when pay problems start, that's the time to search for a new job asap. Otherwise, one could be working for free. Also, don't expect authorities to help much. One would think not paying employees would be considered criminal, but it's often not. Civil penalties may be limited to backpay owed. Employees shouldn't figure on anything extra. It's a very unfair system. On top of that, they're not employees of Bojangles, but rather the franchise. Another loophole many franchises use to take advantage of workers and avoid liability.

Years ago, I was a delivery driver for a Domino's franchise that mismanaged its money. The first time my paycheck bounced, I was given cash. The second time...I came in the next day, and made all my deliveries. When I got back, the manager avoided my gaze, so my path forward was clear. I had roughly the amount of my pay in cash. I put my sign on a table, walked over to the manager, held up the money and said, "I'm keeping this." No response. I put the money in my pocket and walked out, never to return. If they had said anything to me, I was calling the cops. Please stand up for yourselves, fellow workers.

Right. The one on Southside Blvd closed abruptly last year. I went to get hashbrowns and it was closed.

Smart young woman hope she gets justice and her full pay plus interest.

How do you even end up with thousands in back pay owed to you? Twice now I have been shorted at two different jobs and both times I went into the office the very next day and told the manager I was not starting my shift nor going anywhere until the problem was solved. Neither boss was happy about me asserting myself in such a way but it got settled right then and there.

Facts

good grief my cats name is mr Bojangles, I didnt know when he ran away that he was operating fast food restaurant

MANNN let me tell you about this particular Bojangles! I’ve lived right up the street from it for 3 years now and I have TRIED to try that restaurant about 6-7 times and I have NEVER successfully gotten food. Every time I go through the drive thru, it don’t matter if it was one car ahead of me or five, the wait was always UNBEARABLE. I’m talking I waited 25-30 minutes one time! And then all of a sudden they just randomly closed, no notice no nothing. This explains a lot!

“WE OUTTA CHICKEN” “WE OUTTA BREAD” “THEY SHOOTING IN THE DRIVE THRU”

Its irrelovent whether or not an employee is disgruntled. Money owed is a separate issue.

I lost it once she said “as a black woman” bruh

Bojangles out here looking sketchy nowadays... 👀

If whoever owns any of the buildings you can put a lean on it. That would block them from selling it or it changing hands without you getting your money.

Sounds like a Bo-sized problem. Most BoJangles are operated by franchise owners.

Damn, the employees went to neighboring businesses for food to resell that's a red flag right there alone. Never heard nothing like that. If u serving other businesses food might as well shut down.

Bojangles recently opened franchises in parts of Texas, offering a condensed menu of tenders, chicken sandwiches, and breakfast. There's one near me in the Fort Worth suburb, Euless. I'm surprised that corporate is ghosting this Maryland franchise owner's former employees. Corporate should be assisting them in getting pay they're owed, and answers.

If i dont get paid i dont work. So the 1st bogus check i got i wouldve been done bc light gas water rent/mortgage companies wont accept the excuse that i showed up and they didnt pay. Fast foods are always hiring. U will not b 4 or 5 months behind on paying me and we still open for biz and we still selling items.

She lost we when she pulled the black woman line.

How do you keep working if some owes you $5000 dollars? The the first time someone doesn't pay you, you find a different job.

The Labor Department has no authority to force the employer to pay employees. I was part of the largest case in upstate NY and the owner of 10 businesses owed employees over 13 million dollars and they " fined " him but they can't make him pay. We were told we would receive all owed pay and interest, but not a single one received a dime. He still owes all of us and still owns the businesses 30 years later and still cheats employees. The Labor Department should be called the Employer Department

Went to Popeyes. lol

A highly competitive industry, perhaps there are just too many resturants of every type. Here in North Carolina the local Bojangles have great food and at least appear to be well ran.

The first Bojangles ever in Texas just opened up in my hometown of Euless Texas just six months ago. I hope they don’t close down in my state too. That chicken is freaking good!

So if you are working at this wage level, how do let the "owed" wages build up to $5000? Makes no sense, two short checks I am gone, every fast food joint is hiring. Stop looking for a pay out, they owe some funds, but come on girl no one is going to let it build that much. Drama and lies. They closed the joints do to low performance, theft of cash, and free product going out of the store. No one closes a profitable business.

They close if the jig is up. Lots of serious crimes going on. Surprised the state didn’t padlock then first.

So if there’s a Problem with your Paycheck you should call the Police? When did the Police department turn into a Accounting, Audit and Collections Business?

Sounds like an audit was long overdue by the MD-DOL Franchisees make up their own rules along the way, & if you're not careful...they'll 1099 ya like clockwork with no accountability & leave you with the responsibility of paying the state in taxes, annually. Instead, seek out Corporate locations for employment, where payroll is far more structured & regulated. Wages are verified & reconciled weekly for each pay period, again monthly, quarterly, & annually.

Chain restaurants don’t trade chicken and supplies with other chains. I’d dig into this story more. Bc what she’s saying doesn’t make sense. And I think we all know to be on guard when they use the “ as a black woman” card

It’s makes a lot of sense. The employees at the location in New Carrollton would come to the store intercom and announce what was not in stock and they would mention that they had to go to the grocery store in the same shopping center for supplies.
