She had been working there for 2 weeks already only for them to tell her they werent going to pay her. In solidarity, the rest of the staff walked out.

I thought it was fitting this happened on International Workers Day (or at least, thats when the video was uploaded). Solidarity forever!

Thats messed up. My IHOP kind of sucks too. Huddle House is better. Hell, my experiences at Waffle House were better.

I remember loving IHOP when I was a kid. Then after years of not going to one, I happened to spot one and thought I'd try out some pancakes. I remember looking around and thinking "Was IHOP always this shitty looking and I didn't know better, or is it just this one?"

Actually curious how does one get paid without an ssn?

Under the table, I would assume.

This. But to be fair, I assume your local IHOP isnt carrying that much petty cash.

You might be able to get them their money by treating them like an independent contractor. You don't necessarily need their social for that. Your standard IHoP manager doesn't know how to do that and odds are it has to go through a whole process through the franchise owner.

So they could probably get them their money, but it's definitely not going to be in any timely type of manner. They'd need to figure out how to properly fill out the paperwork so they don't get into trouble.

Might be part of the reason they decided not to pay her at all.

Why did IHOP hire them if they didnt want to pay? Do they really expect people to work for free?

Ihops are usually owned by independent owners. Some are shady.

I wonder what the full story was. Is it as simple as the iHOP manager hired her with no intention of paying her, or did she falsify her information and then the manager found out when (s)he entered her information in the system to generate a paystub, and wasnt sure how to handle it?
