Shauna Payton danced at Mettler’s with the stage name Cherish. Mettler’s never allowed her to break or bend any of their misclassification rules and strictly threatened to take her job away if she did. I have several audio recordings of her complaining about this. She didn’t make as much money as most other dancers, so she couldn’t always afford a cab ride back to where she was staying. Other dancers charged her money for a lift, but she knew I have a bleeding heart, so she usually pressured me for free rides. I probably spent about $50 total chauffeuring her around Mankato and surrounding towns, but I didn’t mind. Sometimes she stayed at Budget Host Inn. I didn’t want most people to know that I stayed there too, so if we were staying there at the same time, I’d drive around for a while after dropping her off, then park in the back and hope she never noticed my car. As far as I know, she never did.

Before resolving the lawsuit, I messaged her, to see if she wanted to help with the potential class action. I knew she was apathetic and probably wouldn’t help. What I didn’t expect was that she went out of her way to leave me two mean facebook voice recordings, telling me that Mettler’s never did anything wrong and that I won’t go far with my lawsuit because she’s already talked to the Mettler’s lawyer. What a lying pathetic bitch.
