Employees at Sev7en, a restaurant in Upper Kirby, are demanding their unpaid wages after the restaurant abruptly closed over the weekend. Several workers say they haven’t been paid in weeks.
Bartenders, servers, and hosts told KPRC 2′s Corley Peel they were only given a day’s notice before the restaurant shut its doors. They were instructed to come to the restaurant to be paid in cash, but when they arrived, they encountered confusion and frustration.

To anyone in any profession. As soon as your employer starts cutting your hours, and especially the STORE hours, and Salary positions. That's a red flag to update your resume, and get out ASAP. And as a side note Ms. Nicole Daniels is an absolute stunner! Good on her for not taking the easy route of online modeling, yet instead she's in the trenches being a real one, like the rest of us, and showing our dedication to the hospitality industry! I've known many with those same parameters in my career, and it's refreshing to see people who put heart before beauty.

So called rights aren't much good unless they're enforced. Many assume there's some big penalty, but not necessarily for an insolvent business. Close down to avoid liabilities and reopen under a new business. Another loophole that's often exploited. Hopefully employees will get what they're owed eventually. Ideally, they should get more for the wait and hassles, but employee protections are generally very weak in the U.S.

They are reporters asking questions. That's what reporters do. Ask questions and then report on the information they gathered. That's why it's important to have the press and reporters that ask the questions and get to the truth. Should hold governments, businesses and other institutions accountable and expose corruption, malpractice, and misuse and abuse of power. They should help to keep the public informed on matters they otherwise wouldn't be able to have access to the information or the resources to gather that information themselves. They provide a voice, promote debate, support the checks and balances on those in power, and document what is going on to help keep a historic record of events. So they are not acting as anything. That is their job.
