Left a restaurant job in Toronto. When I asked how to return my uniform, the manager said I can't due to "hygiene" and I have to pay for it. Never was told about this fee.

Under ESA, this looks illegal since I wasn't given prior notice or consent. I'm fine with filing a Ministry of Labour complaint, but my only worry is Toronto's tight-knit hospitality scene—getting "blacklisted" or word spreading among local managers, making it hard to find a new gig.

Should I fight this on principle, or just let it go for peace of mind? Thoughts?

got a new job from Italian restaurant
This is my first time working as server assistant
But is on-call schedule is common?
Almost half of my schedule is on call and We don't find out if we're working the next day until 10 or 11 PM the night before
How can i get my plans with friend or other work?
