A restaurant chain, threatened with closure, asks workers to "lend" it 10% of their pay.

Considering how little most restaurant employees make, they may have trouble doing without 10% even supposing they will get it back. But will they get it back?

However, if the restaurant chain goes broke, which apparently might happen, I expect the workers will probably lose the lent pay.
