今年7月初，我老婆按报纸上的广告，与Nicky’s指甲店（Nicky’s Nail Spa，7
Miranda Plaza，Oregon Road，Putnam Valley，NY 10579。Tel：914-528-8408）谈好
到那儿去做工。7月5号是第一天，7月17号是在Nicky’s指甲店的最后一天。上了几天
班之后，Nicky’s指甲店要留我老婆做全职工。老婆感觉到Nicky’s店的生意不忙，另
外女店主（音Helen）称要回中国休假所以才发广告雇人。我老婆就对店方说明白了，
这段时间是另外一个工作单位给她的休假期，7月18号得回到原工作单位，商量后才能
决定是否变那边的全职为半职。
在这工作期间，Nicky’s指甲店的一个年老一点的女大工，还有女店主，与我老婆之间
有些言语上的不“和谐”。老年女大工称她子女在中国都不愿意来美国，女店主吹嘘她
进出中国、美国非常自由。我老婆来美国十多年了，可还没有这样的自由与舒服，就实
打实地说。那个女大工还问我老婆：“怎么样在店里整人会叫人生气？”我老婆经常向
我抱怨在外面打工有多折磨人，但是不知道问这个问题的人是多么的阴险，居然还说出
来什么事情会烦恼她。后来有一天，我老婆特别气愤地回来，说这个年老的女大工拉帮
结派孤立她时还假意尖声大笑、插队抢顾客。我就说我老婆，要是这个轮子样，你要真
转到这个Nicky’s做全职，你能维持几天就会被她踢？尽管现在有个别顾客给你好小费。
7月18号，我老婆回到原单位上班，给女店主打电话，告知7月19、20号已经被单位预约
了顾客，不能离开，但21号（星期六）被批准了假。Nicky’s女店主声称正忙、到后面
回话。但是，等到平常她们下班到法拉盛家的时间还没电话，我老婆就打电话给女店主
。女店主要我老婆说直话，到底能不能转到她店做全职。在明摆的事实面前，我老婆当
然就说不能，只能做半职。女店主还回复我老婆说，21号那天还可以去她店做工。我老
婆的一些工具，再加上三天的工钱，还在Nicky’s店呢。可是，到了21号，我老婆在平
常等车的地方没见到女店主，打电话给她，电话不通了；打给男店主（音Leon），男店
主称我老婆不用到Nicky’s店上班了。我老婆也因此在原单位少挣一天的钱。
后面几天，Nicky’s店叫另一个员工把我老婆的做工工具捎带回法拉盛。但是三天的工
钱店方赖着不给，称：女店主去中国度假四十天，男店主不知道该给多少工钱。可事实
是：以前的周薪就是这个男店主付给我老婆的。在后面的几次致电中，男店主要么阻拦
手机电话，要么在店铺电话上称正忙，要么称必须等女店主回来再说。我们就很耐心地
等了一个多月。
等到9月10号，50天了，我老婆再打电话给男店主（646-284-0597），男店主居然很蛮
横，称不要打他电话；还称女店主还没回店上班。我老婆就打女店主的电话，没人接。
我老婆然后打Nicky’s店的电话，男店主叫我老婆打电话到女店主在法拉盛的家，但是
不给电话号码。好几番折腾之后，女店主（646-919-9841）终于接了电话，诬称我老婆
骚扰店，诬称我老婆好吵架，诬称她害怕见我老婆。女店主还问我老婆家庭或上班地址
，声称她把工钱邮寄过来。这类指甲店都是用现金付工钱，没有其它福利可言，一句话
就踢人走。我知道这样的人渣是专欺软弱人的狗杂种之类。我就在电话里训斥店方，说
明白了，我们已经忍够了，通话要不来工钱就必须用其他方式要回工钱。店方仍是经常
挂断电话。后来，女店主打来电话，称给工钱，但是要我老婆11号晚上到Roosevelt
Ave和Union St的交叉口等。这儿离以前的上车地点有一英里的距离，但离警察局近。
我旁听到了，立即警告我老婆，要店方那天早上给工钱，女店主同意了，要我老婆早上
8:45去那个交叉口。到10号晚上九点多，女店主接连打电话，我老婆不愿意接。
9月11号早上7:23，女店主打电话，称她今天要开车去摘苹果，不上班，所以早上不能
给工钱。我旁听到这样的垃圾，就斥责这样的人有什么诚信可言？后来，女店主叫我老
婆赶紧去那个交叉路口。可是等我老婆到了那个路口，她又告诉我老婆到另一个路口的
一个华人超市等；我老婆到了那个超市了，不见她，但听女店主叫她返回原来的那个路
口。再番折腾之后，我老婆见到的只是这个Nicky’s指甲店的一个员工，她转给我老婆
三天的工钱。
这就是世道，世道就是这样。我不太喜欢沉默了，更不喜欢被人沉默。Nicky’s Nail
Spa指甲店喜欢如此折腾人，到头来却还声称害怕受害人。逻辑多荒唐！试想一下，如
果这样的雇主给雇工写介绍信打介绍电话，会喷些什么粪？
Nicky’s Nail Spa at Putnam Valley Enjoys Torturing!
Sept. 12, 2012
Limin Wang
Early in last July, my wife followed a job ad on a newspaper, and then
started to work at Nicky’s Nail Spa (7 Miranda Plaza, Oregon Road, Putnam
Valley, NY 10579. Tel: 914-528-8408). July 5 and 17 were her first and last
days there, respectively. After a few days of working, Nicky’s Nail Spa
wanted my wife to work as a full-time for them. My wife felt that their
business was not very busy, and learned that the spa hired just because the
female owner (called Helen) wanted a vacation back to China. Then, my wife
explicitly told Nicky’s that she was on vacation from another job, and
would have to resume her work there on July 18, and had to discuss with the
old employment about the possibility of changing from full-time to part-time.
During these working days, there was some talking not-so-harmonic in Nicky’
s. A senior worker bragged that her children do not even like to come to the
U.S.A., while the female owner boasted about her travel freedom between
China and the U.S. My wife has been in the U.S. for more than a decade, and
honestly said that such kind of freedom or comfort is still out of her grip.
The senior worker even asked my wife, “What things in a store will make
somebody mad?” My wife has often complained to me how harsh the workplace
could be, but she probably had not learned enough to know that was a
treacherous question, and so revealed what would annoy her. Some days later,
my wife came home pretty mad, venting that the female senior had banded
with others to isolate her, had made pretentious shrieking laugh, and had
skipped the order to take her work turn. I told my wife that, under such
damn circumstances, how many days you would be named as a “full-time”
before being kicked out? The occasional excellent tips from some customers
here would not be able to save her empolyment.
July 18th, my wife came back to resume her work at the old employment, and
called the female owner of Nicky’s that there had been work appointments on
July 19th and 20th already, but her manager had allowed a day-off on July
21st, a Saturday. The female owner of Nicky’s said she was busy and would
call back later. But there was no call even when it was time the Nicky’s
usually drove home to Flushing, so my wife called the female owner. The
female owner told my wife to be straight on whether she could work as a full
-time at Nicky’s. With the clear facts, my wife of course replied that she
could only work as a part-time at Nicky’s. Upon questioning, the female
owner answered that my wife could still work at Nicky’s on July 21st. Some
of my wife’s working tools, plus three days’ unpaid wage, were still at
Nicky’s. However, on July 21st, my wife did not see the transportation
vehicle at the usual pick-up area, and then called the female owner, but
that phone could not go through. My wife then called the male owner (called
Leon), he told my wife not to work at Nicky’s any more. Thus, my wife lost
a day of wage at the old employment too.
Several days later, Nicky’s let another worker bring only the tools, no
wage, back to Flushing. The male owner claimed that the female owner had
left for a 40-day vacation in China, and he did not know how much my wife’s
wage was. Yet, the fact was that this very male owner paid the weekly wage
to my wife before. Days later, my wife called again, and the male owner
either blocked the call, or claimed to be busy, or said that my wife had to
wait until the female owner came back. We then patiently waited for more
than a month.
On Sept. 10, about 50 days since July 21, my wife called the male owner (646
-284-0597), and he was rudely telling my wife not to call his phone, and
claiming that the female owner has not come back to work. My wife then
called the female owner, but no one answered. My wife then called the work
number at Nicky’s Nail Spa. The male owner told my wife to call the female
owner at her home number, but did not give the home number. After rounds of
calling from my wife, the female owner finally picked up her phone (646-919-
9841), and even calumniated that my wife had harassed them, that my wife
liked to argue, and that she was afraid to meet my wife. The female owner
asked my wife’s work or home address to pretend mailing the wage. Such nail
spas always paid their workers with cash, but with no other benefits, and
they can fire workers on a whim. I know that such scumbags are oppressive
SOB’s toward only the weak, and so I called and scolded Nicky’s. In my
explicit expression, we had way enough on this, and if we could not get the
wage through calling, then through other means. The spa kept hanging up the
phone. Later, the female owner called back and said to pay the wage, but
needed my wife to wait at the intersection of Roosevelt Ave and Union St at
night of the 11th. This intersection is about one mile away from the
previous pick-up spot, but close to a police station. I overheard,
immediately warned my wife, and suggested a meeting time in the morning. The
female owner agreed so, and told my wife to go there at 8:45 a.m. on the
11th. But at night, from 9 to 10 p.m., the female owner called twice, and my
wife did not want to pick up the phone.
At 7:23 a.m. on the 11th, the female owner called again, and claimed that
she would not work today, instead, drive for apple picking, and so she would
not be able to pay the wage. I overheard this kind of trash, and questioned
what kind of credibility the female owner ever had. Later, she told my wife
to hurry toward that intersection. When my wife arrived at that
intersection, she told my wife to go another block to wait at a Chinese
supermarket. My wife arrived at that supermarket, but the female owner told
my wife to come back to the previous intersection. Rounds again! After that,
it was another worker from Nicky’s who passed the three days’ wage to my
wife. The female owner was not even there.
This is life, and life is such. I start to not like silence too much, and to
not like being silenced even more. Nicky’s Nail Spa enjoys torturing so
much, and even claims that its victims are a threat. How ridiculous the
logic is! Think about it, if such an employer makes reference letters and
calls on an employee, what kind of crap it will spray? | B******y
