[Shotimes] OT: What do you do if your employer doesn't pay you (not joke)

[Noah South III]

But that's all so complicated.  A couple of ski masks, a baseball bat, and a
little free time can do wonders for convincing people to settle up.  It
works for construction, but then again most construction workers are paid
under the table (except Union of course) so that really is the only way to
get your pay.
