Walter Jasper stands on the sidewalk in front of the Shur-Brite car wash on West End as traffic whizzes past him. A silver Mercedes slows down as if to pull in for service and Jasper straightens up in attention.

If the Mercedes decides to pull into Shur-Brite, Jasper and other workers will rush from the sidewalk and be clocked in by the car wash manager. Jasper and company will have the car cleaned in a matter of minutes and, if no other customers have gotten in line, the same manager will clock him out.

A trio of workers filed a federal suit Friday against Shur-Brite Hi-Speed Car Wash and its owners, alleging they weren't paid for hours spent waiting for dirty cars.

The 30-year-old carwash is a West End Avenue institution, attracting hundreds of cars during weeks of sunny weather, including those of Music Row fixtures. Workers named in the suit claim managers clock them in and out frequently but forbid them to leave during off hours.
