Can BD Do Anything Right?

Here's a rumor that we've heard:
"Today apparently employees of the hotel came in to get their checks and they weren't signed so no one got paid.  Management didn't call to tell people, so people came from the bronx, queens, and brooklyn to find that their checks weren't ready.  Major foul on the part of BD.  Apparently it's a new thing that Bernstein himself is supposed to sign the checks, but he's out of town until Monday."

Surely someone else can sign the checks.  That's just wrong to not pay people on time!
