After Being Fined as a Chef in My Daughter's Restaurant, I Smiled

I worked as a chef in my daughter's restaurant for five years. Up before dawn, on my feet till late, not a single day off, and not one cent in wages.

Then one day, mouth dry from the rush, I grabbed a bottle of water off the shelf and drank it.

My son-in-law saw. He walked straight over and handed me a fine.

"Dad, there's a rule here. Staff aren't allowed to take store goods for themselves. You just drank a bottle of water. That's a ten-thousand-dollar fine. Cash or transfer?"

I stared at him, not believing it.
