Sorry for my lack of clarity. I wasn't trying to minimize what happened at Walmart. And , yes, forcing people to work off the clock is most definitely an example of fucking the workers out of money.
But working at a big box retailer is very different from working in a nail salon. At least places like Walmart pretend to obey the wage and hours laws. Maybe it's just the apparent willful disregard of those laws by the salon owners (as described in the article) that got to me. And the fact that, even when the workers win, they never collect. Anyway, Earnest Not Bob will try to get off of the topic.
