She says it's the responsibility of the club to pay for the bag, not the waiter, and I agree. Unless the spill was intentional, the club is responsible. And it seems all involved agree this was an accident. I'm certainly not a lawyer, but I believe if an employee accidentally damages the company's delivery van while being used for business, the employee isn't responsible for the repair cost. I don't see how this is any different.
If this were a $50 purse there wouldn't even be an issue, the club would have paid. It's only because of the dollar amount involved that the club wants to hold the waiter financially responsible.

Was this the Albino gator skin bag? A professional cleaning should have gotten the stain out. Need pics of the bag before and after

. . . the employer is liable under the doctrine of vicarious liability. The employee should seek legal advice. Why take a $30K handbag to a dinner? Wear and tear, which is why handbags exist to protect the contents, not to boast about personal wealth. I h...
