Quoth KellyHabersham View PostIn the town my family used to live in, one of the two grocery stores had a list like that......not sure if it was sad or amusing that I recognized some of the names.
Poor kid, he was forever paying off her checks it seemed. As soon as he had enough money saved up, he moved out.
Interestingly, I saw one of his brothers just this past week (works for one of the wine distributors) and former coworker is still working for window company he left WD for and is married w/2 kids now and doing fine.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

Quoth Irving Patrick Freleigh View PostI have to say, it was pretty damn awkward that time I grabbed dinner from the Chinese buffet across the parking lot, glanced at the wall, and saw one of my managers listed on their "do not take checks from these people" list.

Quoth strawbabies View PostNext time, take the check John wrote to the bank where he has the account and cash it instead of depositing it and you won't have a problem (if the funds are there), dummy.
That way we didn't have to stop by the bank late on Friday after work when the lines would be much longer to get our ones and fives for the weekend.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

if someone owes you a lot, he suggested you ask for several checks that add up to the desired amount. Dumbass may hardly ever have $150 in his account all at once, but he may have $50 on a regular basis.

SH - If I were a lawyer...Well, it really depends on her attitude when she came to me If she was acting like a normal human being, I'd explain the situation pro bono. If she treated me like she treated the OP...Well, I'd charge her in advance. In cash. THEN I'd tell her she has no case, and sweetly ask if there's anything else I can help her with, with the 58 minutes she has left..."For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

Quoth Argabarga View PostWhy is it the people who threaten you with lawyers the most seem the least likely to be able to afford their services?
The SCs think if they say the word "lawyer" that the lowly employee will be scared and give in to whatever ludicrous demands the SC wants. "Change the laws of physics or I'll call my lawyer, and he'll make you change them!!!"
I'm waiting on someone to get a stack of business cards from a local lawyer. Then, wait for some SC to play the "I'll call a lawyer!!" card, and just hand them the business card and say, "Go right ahead..."Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.

A variation of threatening to call the police. They seem to believe that a lawyer will act as their personal bully.
IANAL, but it sounds like the SC in the OP has the strongest case against the check writer. IIRC, the former franchise owner complained of spending too much off-season time in small-claims court due to bouncies.I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

No, on second thought, I won't do that to him. I'd hate to waste his time with this sort of crap... but I know a couple ambulance chasers...
