The largest category of us theft is wage theft. So, ya know, gonna guess it's not legal

Sorry that happened :(

Hopefully your next role or whatever you're aiming for isn't so shit.

The manager will get his salary by saying - They are looking for staff.
But won't get anything extra if he needs to pay to get work done.
He will get more, if he can manage unpaid labour.

Notice the "cook" in username. Unpaid labor is a common practice in the restaurant industry. They call it a "stag". It's supposed to be an unpaid working interview, but restaurants will schedule stages with people even when they aren't hiring.
