Well it finally happened. I had to fire an employee due to theft. This is the one thing I hate about this job.
The "Story" was that a customer had left.a $100 tip in the form of a $100 bill for the two people working that night. The two staff made change and split the money. I open the next morning and as I'm reviewing the cash sheet from the night before, I am missing 1 of 2 $100 bills that should be in the drawer. I look around to see if I can find it. No luck there. I text the person that was in charge and counted the drawer the night before and asked about it. They said that there should have been 2 bills in the drawer. I inform both employees that there is $100.missing and they are responsible for it if it is not found. The owner and I go over the register tape from that night and don't find anything. Luckily we have a camera pointed at the register. She reviews the video at close to see if something happened there. Nothing shows up. Though she didn't want to she started.looking at other transactions according to the time stamp on the register tape. This is where she notices that one of the staff take something out of the drawer and put it their pocket. There is also a camera in the kitchen that show this same employee take what was in their pocket and show the other employee. This is where the story springs up that a $100 tip was left for them to split. The second employee has no idea that the money came out of the drawer.
The owner and I confront the employee about what went on that night. They tried to continue with the lie. We stop him and ask if he really wants to continue that way. I fell him we have looked at the video and it shows what he did. He then confesses and fries to tell us he didn't mean to do it. I stop him again and correct him that yes he did mean to do it. Then he tries to blame problems at home for some reason. I did advise him that making more problems is not a way to deal with whatever is going on.
The owner and I came up with this plan since he is just in high school and we live in a small town (pop. 2500). We didn't call the police as long as he did these three things
1) He has to pay back the $100
2) Tell his parents
3) Have his parents call the owner so she can explain what happened.
So that was my week how are things going for everyone else?
