King Whompus Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I'm going to have to agree with tick. It doesn't matter if he is smuggling 100 dollar bills or quarters. It's wrong! Here is the solution: Wait for him to get off of work then follow him home. When he gets inside, slash his tires and piss in his gas tank. OR Go to Mcdonalds again and wait to get short-changed, when you do, call him out on the spot again and get the manager and watch his ass get fired!

If my kid was willfully stealing, I wouldn't give a f-ck. And if he stole a penny, Id be doubly pissed because in addition to being a thief hed be proving hes a moron.

I agree with this^^^^^ I would never have this problem though because I ONLY buy their ice tea $1.06 and I always pay in change even if I buy two. http://erikandanna.com/Rush/nmslogo.gif Ok, I'm sick of people quoting this stupid post to give there ringing endorsement so I will respond once and for all.... On the following points.... 1. I did do something. I called the kid on his scam and did my best to intimidate him in hopes it scares him into not being a little asshole and quit stealing from his employer. I also spoke to his manager later to make them aware of the situation, so I did respond. 2. My response was calculated. It was controlled anger. He needed exactly what he got, exactly the way it was delivered. Don't agree? Too bad. You can handle things like a wuss, I don't. I am 46 years old. I recognize this kid is heading for trouble and being polite to a criminal stealing from me is bullshit, and not an option for me. I'll leave that task to some other passive sucker. 3. The skin color is not relevant, I was describing what the person looked like. You have a problem with that? I did not bring it up to suggest the reason he is robbing is because he is black. I never said anything like that so don't go there. I brought it up to paint a picture in the readers mind, and for no other reason. There is nothing wrong with being descriptive? If this is to suggest, racism, that is offensive to me. People love to play that race card. If the person was a skinny pimple faced redheaded white kid or an over weight middle aged white woman I would have posted that so you have a picture in your mind of what the person looked like. Nothing at all wrong with that. When you read a book, you know what the characters look like don't you? Do I have to be generic and say a "being" shortchanged me? 4. The cashier panicked and lied because that's what thief's do...they lie because they are scumbags! Its easy for people to play arm chair quarterback when they are judging someone else. I hope someone rips you off a few times in a row so you can be all the things you say you will be. I was not a madman, but this little dick did not deserve polite. The manager however did deserve polite, and that is exactly what she received from me, and I was thanked repeatedly. I hope I was clear on all this. Have a nice day.

Nim2 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 A penny mistake I think could be legitimate. Counting out 2,3,4 pennies while in a hurry can result in mistakes easily. The other point is the stories many have floated in this thread. No one knows that kid's story except him. Maybe he is truly a thief, getting away with a dime here, a nickel or quarter there. In the course of a shift working a drive through could mean a total well above his usual hourly pay. The detail is that he was doing it. Even if it was to support is ailing grandmother, it is still not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shorted exactly one quarter, on 3 consecutive visits. That is not an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workingcinderellaman Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 This reminds me of the Superman 3 / Office Space caper; where the thief hacks the payroll computer and takes the fractions of pennies that people earned and redistributes it to their own account. No-one would notice if a fraction of a penny went missing from their paycheck or if they did even care. But it's still theft and it's dishonest. And it does add up.

briremo Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I just read this for the first time. ANyone have a clue how many transaction can go through a drive through from 11:30 to 1:00? 120-150. My uncle owns a couple FF joints. Thats some serious coin over the course of a month. I never count my change. I think I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I wouldn't have handled the situation with that much "anger" but I certainty understand the anger.. Almost every fast food joint has a camera on the drive in window, and the front counters, not only to monitor for safety reasons, but for reasons exactly like the one you brought up, the thing is is that these cameras are not monitored or screened unless an issue is brought up... So if you did say anything Tick, you can be assured that the cameras were reviewed, and the situation handled.... and if you're worried that the manager won't do anything you can always go above him and contact cooperate and they WILL review the tapes if the manager does not.
