Felipe Ramales, 26, a busboy at JT's NYC restaurant "Southern Comfort" has filed a suit claiming that he was not paid in full for his services.

The suit said Ramales and other staffers didn't get their proper share of a gratuity charge that the Upper East Side restaurant automatically collected from parties with six or more diners. Ramales, of the Bronx, also said he worked more than 40 hours per week without getting overtime. A manager at the restaurant, Chris Russell, called the lawsuit baseless. He said staff members received every dime of their tips, and busboys were paid well over the legal minimum wage.

Hmmm, busboy vs. Justin Timberlake and his team of insanely expensive lawyers? This will obviously be an even match, the stuff that Law and Order is made of. I'm not saying Ramales claims aren't true, but does he really think he will win this?

I like how the restaurant manager answers that they were paid well over minimum wage when the guys claim is that they weren't giving him overtime...sort of sounds like he dodged the question there.
