Jeff,
I started off by asking if they would pay him - he doesn't earn enough to pay tax etc. When they said no, I asked if I could take two hours out of the till as petty cash. I know some stores where the manager regularly takes more out for sticky buns as a treat for the staff!
My point is that I was in a busy pharmacy on a Friday afternoon, with one young person, and a lot of angry customers. He helped us out because he's a great young man, and could see we were in deep trouble. He didn't expect to be paid.
In my opinion there is no excuse for not paying him a couple of hours salary. It's less then £10 to them. They acted awfully in my mind, and so I paid him £10 myself.
