Kelly O mentioned it in this week’s (Not) Drunk of the Week, but just to remind you…

Maybe if the MILLIONAIRE owners of Cha Cha/Kings/Bimbos/etc would pony up for even basic health care we wouldn't need a benefit for the wonderful and amazing Kim. There are people in their 30s/40s who have worked at these places for YEARS with no form of health insurance, while the owners literally drive Mercedes SUVs. I understand you can't be giving health insurance to every 20 something young whippersnapper who works there for a year or two, but when you have veteran employees well into their thirties scraping by with tips and 8 bucks an hour, you should have the fucking decency to acknowledge their commitment to your business and buy them some goddamned medicine.
The owners have also discouraged new fathers from working overtime to support their families because they don't want to pay time and a half.

Amen. Interesting that no one bothered responding to this very reasonable rant.
Well, raking cash in hand over fist while neglecting the worker's basic needs is pretty typical of small(er) businesses. Big business also, actually, so it's capitalism, right? The American Dream! Maybe the workers at the Cha should unite or at least all the cool kids could boycott till something is done.
