is anyone not a theif?
« on: September 21, 2011, 02:02:53 PM »
My screen cleaning person decided he could not work here anymore. Since he has school and a 1 year old son and another job.

Well to my dismay he stole my change jug. At least 100-150 bucks.. It is him because it's only ever him and me. I have no idea how...had to be when I took a leak, because I never leave him alone except for that time.

This happened and then getting ripped off this last winter big time by an employee is making me very weary of everyone.. well guess i have to get a camera now...this is bullcrap

LOL... Thats a good one. All kidding aside I just canned a chick for this. Money came up missing out of my desk drawer. Shirts started ending up missing out of orders. Caught them punching back in late and writing down a different time. I know I should have a time clock but if I cant trust them they dont need to be here. That employee is now gone and what do you know nothing is missing anymore. F'N people!! I always tell an employee if you want something just ask. Odds are I would give it to them anyways. Thieves piss me off.

You can always take everyone with you when you take a leak.  ;)  It's frustrating I'm sure.  Since you can't do much about it now, I always think, well, they must have needed it more than me.

nothing like rolling up stolen nickles and dimes. . . .for a solid week. . . .of all the things easier to steal and make more money on, this douche took at jug weighing 50 pounds. . .of fking pennies. . .. I'll tell you what, i will give you the 150.00 if you let me confront him about it. . .I'll be nice, really I will. . . I won't even touch him. . .I will use my inside voice and everything, I'll even put it up on youtube. . .I would break his left arm and right leg.

I tell the guys here the same thing, you want something -ask- chances are you will get it. If you steal it, you just lost your job. whatever it is you want is not worth more than your job. . don't be stupid. .
...keep doing what you're doing, you'll only get what you've got...

This isn't quite the same, but maybe it will make you smile. My son's girlfriend's mom works at a large discount store. She was going through their security videos and found something a bit odd. "Sally" was punching in at the right time, and also punching out at the right time. Only problem was, as soon as "Sally" punched in, she left the store. Of course she always made it back to punch out right on time. This went on for months and no one said anything. There's more than one thief at that store. Sad. True.

Wow, that is interesting.  In a huge place like that, nobody would notice.

I didn't say nobody noticed, I said nobody said anything.

Last few times I thought someone stole something from me I'd find it a few weeks later and feel like a douche bag.

HAHA!  Yeah,  I'm pretty guilty of that.  I'll look for something and think ARRRRRH! that danged son of mine moved my _________ or someone took my _____________.  Come to find out, I had it all along (most times). The others times, I just have not caught myself moving it. LOL.

had a guy steal $1500.00 in clothes, plus the time he took to decorate them.
Found it Janurary 2.  Called him in, showed him the proof of what he did to me, showed him my ball bat and told him he had 24 hrs. to pay me back, cash!
I got the money.  Hated to be such a pr!ck, but I work hard.

I've heard that unreal printing deals on Ebay and Craigslist are often printed on stolen shirts from the employer.
50% of the time I'm 100% right.
