Out of all the things Betty has done wrong, the employee checks bouncing makes me the crankiest. My parents have successfully run several small business for more than 25 years. When things were slow, they did whatever they had to in order to make sure their workers got paid. Not anything illegal, of course, but maybe they had to choose between paying the guys and paying a supplier. Well, they'd call the supplier and work something out to make a partial payment or push the date a little. Not a great solution, but they had good enough relationships with the suppliers so that nothing got send to collections, and the company stayed afloat. And when things got better they paid those suppliers early, as much as possible.
Anyway, I'm surprised Betty manages to keep a decent cook and staff. Most would cut and run when a paycheck bounces.
