Due to an editorial error, the photo caption of “Employee sues Milan for taking his tips” [Courts & Crime News, January 22, 2008] stated that a former Milan employee charged that the restaurant “stole” tips from its wait staff.

As C-VILLE reported two weeks ago, Milan filed an answer, which counters that the restaurant “received” tips as terms of employment and that it paid fair wages.
