Why don't you just pay them yourself? "Poor Me, someone else won't pay my bills" is no way to run a business.

Do you not know how malls work? The stores are tenants. The building owners pay for maintenance and utilities in the general mall. This guy works for the company that owns the mall.

You can just admit you don't understand how malls work and not contribute to the conversation. It's not hard.

The harsh reality is that this dude probably won't have a job if the Mall's utilities aren't paid. It doesn't matter how embarrassed or sorry he is.

Right, but the general manager doesn't pay utilities? The company does. An employee of a company should never be paying for utility expenses out of their own pocket unless the company is their company. That's not how jobs work.

This guy works for the company that owns the mall you dip shit. You think he should pay to keep the lights and water on himself? I’m sure his next paycheck isn’t going to show up either.

Do you pay your employer’s bills?

I’m sorry, I never do this, but I just have to point out the irony of your last two posts being on r/NoStupidQuestions.
