Yesterday I posted about the owner of the restaurant I worked at forcing us to serve expired products.

After posting I worked for another couple hours before I sat down for my second break of the day and read a bunch of the comments. A lot of people were pointing out that I had let my own personal needs go above other people. Which yes I did, but I don't want to hurt anyone.

I took everyone's advice and found the number for my county health department on Google and called them. I had to wait on hold for a while but finally managed to speak to a nice enough lady. I asked to remain anonymous and she took the details of my report. I still think the owner will know it was me because of what happened and the timing, but on paper it's anonymous.

When I was done I came back into the restaurant and managed to sneak a few more pictures of other expired product like meat and other produce. After that I confronted the owner when he came back into the kitchen. He was already looking for me since I was way over the length of my break. I told him I was quitting and he got super angry and told me he needed me for the dinner rush. I told him I didn't care and wanted my paycheck. He initially refused until I told him if he didn’t pay me I would go make a scene in the lobby. To which he relented. He paid me for the days I've worked in cash and had me sign something he typed up stating he'd paid me. Yes I did read it and took a picture of it.

I'm officially down to one job now and going to be struggling to cover bills this month. I'm also afraid of retaliatory action because I'm Trans and where I live very few people are accepting. The owner was already desperate and he has my personal information on my employment documents. I'm hoping nothing happens, but does anyone have advice just in case?
