Barricaded Hotel Workers Living on ‘Food Delivered in a Bucket Pulled up on a Piece of String’

Poor guys. Two former employees of the Meldrum Arms Hotel in Scotland have barricaded themselves in a room for the past three weeks, holding out for £500 each in outstanding wages. The hotel, which closed for business in early December, says it has paid Mark Craig and Steven Black, but the duo won’t leave the hotel until they’re sure the money has made it to their accounts, the BBC reports. In the meantime, Craig’s mom keeps delivering food via bucket. “Mum brings over all our food and drinks, it’s a bit like room service,” Craig said. “We even had to eat our Christmas dinners from our room in case they came to get us out.”
