When you say your film memorabilia , do you mean items you purchased elsewhere left in the locker or items from the cinema given to you ? Also if you have genuine concerns about health safety food safety practices , then report them to the appropriate authorities . As others have said , not being paid yet doesn ' t still make you an employee or on their books , it makes you an ex employee who hasn ' t been paid yet . <| sep |> Wouldn ' t that be awesome ? If the local ND sheriff said , We need to ' protect and serve ' the people who pay our salaries , and they are out there being attacked by modern day Pinkterton Men . They wouldn ' t have to do anything but stand with their shields protecting the water protectors from the real aggressors . It appears to me that the tide of public opinion is changing . A politically smart local sheriff could put himself on the front page and use this as a stepping stone politically , if he wants . And if he doesn ' t want , he ' ll guarantee himself the position of sheriff for life in his constituency .
