Carrie Bauer, et al. v. Rufe Snow Investment LLC, In-N-Out Gyros and Stop-N-Go Gyros

Dallas, Texas employment lawyer represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on Fair Labor Standards Act violation theories.





On September 21, 2021, Carrie Bauer, Stephanie Mayfield, and Elizabeth Sue, sued Rufe Snow Investments, LLC, d/b/a In-N-Out Gyros and Stop-N-Go Gyros, and Ziad Massarwa, under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 216(b) (FLSA), for allegedly failing to pay them overtime wages and withholding their tips. Defendants' answer asserts affirmative defenses and counterclaims for embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. It alleges that Rufe Snow provided Sue and Mayfield $10,000.00 each in loans "through outright payments to [them] as well as payment of [their] personal expenses” to be repaid within one year, but they "failed to pay this money back”; as a result, they are in breach of contract and have been unjustly "enriched in the amount of $10,000.00.” It also alleges that Sue diverted funds from Rufe Snow, including approximately $10,000.00 unrelated to "any legitimate business expenses,” and transferred the funds to herself.
