I am in the restaurant business and I know of a lot of servers and cooks that took advantage of the BP money. Restaurants as far as Cantonment had servers and cooks that made claims. During the oil spill Most restaurants not on the beach were actually up in sales, not down, but these people still got a check.

For two years those employees on the beach who stuck it out because they love it there lost a lot of there income and didn't get what they should have.

Know a guy whose daughter was a server at a restaurant on the gulf side of the beach and she got around 10K for lost wages. Not sure if she applied or if the restaurant had a hand in that. Some lawyers were advertising that "even if you didn't have a loss" to contact them to see if there was a payment available. That just appears to be wrong to encourage people to apply when they had no losses. Seems the folks at Hooter's should have been charged with conspiracy and a few other wrong doings. Guess maybe in prison they may get more than a mouthful. You can bet there are lots more folks who got questionable big settlements.
