Hell’s Kitchen restaurateur Marco Pierre White has dropped a threat to dock staff wages to pay for diners who walk out without paying reports The Sunday Mirror. A manager at the celebrity chef’s New York Italian at East Midlands Airport Yew Lodge Hotel, Kegworth, told workers walkouts over the last few months had cost the eatery £646.29.
And the message added: “Management has come to the decision that from today onwards staff will have to pay for any walkouts that he/she is responsible for. It’s not fair on the company to take on these losses.”
Mr White, 60, is worth an estimated £33million while many of his waiters and waitresses are struggling to get by on minimum wages. The Sunday Mirror contacted Mr White’s aides.
