Judith Mejia, a long-time waitress at Cosmic Diner in midtown Manhattan, has been accused by the restaurant owners of reducing customers’ tabs in exchange for cash, according to the New York Post.
Mejia believes the allegations against her were brought on as retaliation for complaints she and fellow workers made regarding discriminatory behavior by their employers.
According to the lawsuit, which was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week, Mejia, who is still working at the diner, is accused of reducing patrons’ tabs in exchange for cash.
The lawsuit state she “fraudulently and secretly reduced the amount of the check” and “demanded, received and retained…bribes and kickbacks [from customers].”
The owners claim Mejia cost them at least $75,000 during her time with the diner.
