Subject: Risk of serving lunch to the First Lady
Yes, that's right. Serving lunch to Barbara Bush can cause all sorts of
problems from the past to be dug up. My roommate and I found out firsthand on
Saturday afternoon. He called me 20 minutes after I dropped him off at work,
saying "It seems I'm in jail. Can you come downtown and bail me out? Bring
$220."
The cause? It seems they did a background check on all the hotel employees
that would be involved in the function that day. He had bounced one too many
checks at a grocery store in the northern Wisconsin town where he lived -- a
year and a half ago. The checks were all paid before he moved down here and he
had no idea that any charges had been filed.
