I am currently a University student, and over the summer I have been working at a restaurant. At the very start of my time, the manager and myself waited on a table. Neither of us added two bottles of £40 wine to the table's account, and as a result the table ended up not being charged £80.
Now that I have left the job, she has sent me a text asking whether it is ok for her to deduct this from my wages.
While I accept that I have some responsibility for this, it seems unfair that I should shoulder the whole blame, as she was also involved in the table. I also believe that the error came as a result of her management, as only myself and her were working at the time, and as a result we were unbelievably understaffed. Is there anyway I can contest this deduction, or am I stuffed?
EDIT: after listening to your guys advice, I told her that I did not consent to a deduction, and that I'd be happy to take the issue up with head office if she saw fit. She has replied, promising me that she will not deduct.
Just wanted to thank everyone for their help, without the support I received I probably would have given in. Cheers Reddit!
