Yeah, yeah, she shouldn't have done it. But, it was wrong to fire her over it. I agree with the union rep, a warning would have been enough.

Yeah, it's a great idea to have someone on the payroll who assaults people. What could go wrong?

How is it wrong to fire her?

She is a danger. She could literally kill someone over allegedly stealing a packet of bacon.

A packet of bacon, I will remind you, is going to go in bin when it expires. The store has already accounted for its loss.
