We were friends, and I did the work as a favour. The other day, the owner shamed me Infront of my friends and family - it broke my heart a little bit, but some days have passed and I'm mostly over it. I feel I would be happy with 500 for the amount of hours I put in. They made 2k gross from a food night on Saturday, so I know they have the money. They never paid me because I like to help my friends if I can. I just never brought it up, it's not in my nature to charge friends. In hindsight, I was taken advantage of, and now that the friendship is over, this money could really make a difference for me. I go sone days wondering where my next meal will be.
