Almost everyone knows that waiters and waitresses aren't the most well-paid employees around, but seeing an employment contract that charges them every time they give male customers straws, fail to say "hi" or "bye" to customers or take out their cellphone is particularly shocking. Redditor 00generic posted this absurd employment contract that her cousin was asked to sign, noting that the restaurant already fired one employee who refused to sign.
Needless to say, other Redditors were not happy about the employer's requirements and many pointed out that the company may be breaking the law.

It's about time somebody put a stop to handing out unwanted straws. It's wasteful.

That is the most cheapskate way to save money at a restaurant that I've ever heard. What does a straw cost, $.05 tops?

They took their phone out to snap the pic, that'll be $2.00

To save money, because men don't use straws as much as women do.

My husband has worked for trucking companies that had a list of "fines" like this, and you could end up working a week and not making any money at all. But workers just quit rather than fight it, and there's always someone else with no experience who'll take the job for a while.
