Hero busboy sues Timberlake eatery

NEW YORK, Dec. 1 (UPI) --

A busboy who once returned a $200,000 watch a guest lost at pop star Justin Timberlake's New York restaurant is suing the eatery for docking his pay for meals.

The New York Post said Felipe Santiago Ramales is suing Southern Comfort, Timberlake's Manhattan hot spot, for reducing his paycheck from $300 to $72 by deducting the cost of food he didn't have time to eat and for failing to give him a fair share of the tips left at the restaurant. However, the establishment's attorney told the newspaper Ramales' lawsuit is "meritless."

The Post described Ramales as a symbol of integrity for having previously handed back a diamond timepiece someone left behind at Kid Rock's 2007 Christmas party. He was rewarded with $100 by Timberlake's business partner and another C-note from Kid Rock.
