I hired a woman once to work in the retail store I was managing at the time. After lunch, I noticed one of my long time employees crying in the break room. She had lost her wallet and whoever took it had wiped out her bank account at the Walmart next door. I called the manager over there and he pulled up the video and low and behold it was the new lady over there buying up gift cards. We called the police and after verifying what happened, they asked me if I wanted them to handle it quietly or to make a scene. I chose make a scene and they went into the backroom handcuffed her, told her why she was being arrested in front of everyone and marched her out. Needless to say HR agreed it should be an immediate termination.

    Why were you fired?

    • I stole a coworker's wallet
    • I defrauded Walmart buying gift cards
    • I am very stupid

    That's an impressive trifecta.

    Wait you can choose whether you want to make a scene? That's awesome!

    I love that they asked you if you wanted a scene. I would have chose it too!

    I actually think that's a little disgusting. The police are choosing Corporate Interests over simply following the evidence and upholding the Law, no matter who broke it, or where they were employed...
