Pregnant Popeyes worker fired after armed robbery

Pregnant Popeyes worker fired after armed robbery

Gotta wonder if the $400 was worth the publicity? I like their chicken, but mercy me, not the brightest move on their part.


how stupid is that manager?

the employee has zero liability regarding theft like that

a number of years ago, one of my employees (our courier) was robbed just as he entered the bank with the deposits

the robbery was going on, and the perps saw him holding the deposit bag, and took that with them also

robberies happen....that is why businesses carry insurance

money is replaceable.....
 
just read rest of thread

if she was the shift manager, and failed to do the cash drops now, and previously

then that changes some of the story

i would give her an option

a. pay back the difference between what was stolen, and what should have been in cash drawer at time....and remedial training that she must attend

b. getting a pink slip

managers are held to a higher standard than regular employees....she knew the rules and failed to live up to them

and as her boss, i think i would want her to choose option b......

Was your courier ignoring your instructions repeatedly?
 
Wow. That some here defend asking her to pay back money from an armed robbery? Stunning.

It seems odd that some are defending her incompetence
 
While I understand your point, until such time one can prove she was involved, Popeye's looks pretty clueless. The idea that someone pay back money stolen by an armed robber is beyond stupid. Think about what you are really telling people. You are in essence telling them it's their money and they better protect it.

I think that's the real rub in this. The fact is, they could have just straight up fired her since she had multiple violations of performance when it came to money drops, apparently. This time her lack of diligence cost the company more than it normally would have under "standard" robbery (not a good way to phrase that). But saying pay back or get fired is where the public opinion is going to change direction.
 
The town nearest where I live is a high-crime area.


Deep down in the 'hood is a store called Biggerstaffs'. Been there for about half a century. Run by one family.


Biggerstaffs' is both a convenience store, and a lunch counter, and a check-cashing place. Around the first of the month they probably have more than $100,000 on hand, much of it in the registers from what I've seen.

The cash register area is not surrounded by bullet proof glass or metal cage.


Biggerstaffs has never been robbed. Nobody has even tried it.


Why?

Mr. Biggerstaff and his brother wear Glock .45s openly on their hips, with stacks of spare loaded mags on the counter behind them, and rumor says Ms. Biggerstaff has a 12 gauge behind the lunch counter.


No trouble there.

:)

There are so many jokes and innuendo in this post.

I'll just behave and leave it like it is. :D :D

Can I get the actual address of this place, and their hours of operation? :mrgreen:

really?

do you think she has any culpability for the loss to the company?

should she be fired for her negligence of not dropping the extra cash into the safe?
 
Perhaps cooler heads have prevailed. Said top management at Popeye's:

The situation, not the policy.
Load em up on social media with such an idiotic policy.
Amazing though that State law must make this legal.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if the gunman was her boyfriend/son.


Sounds like she made herself eligible for the firing by screwing up previously.

You buying the company line?
 
She repeatedly violated the store policy which cost the store to lose money. An argument could be made that she should only have to pay the difference between what she was supposed to have in the drawer and the $400
Repeatedly? Where and how do you know this.
The article refers to
The Popeyes franchise owner, Z&H Foods Inc., wouldn't talk on camera. However, a spokesperson in their human resources department explained that Holcomb was fired because she broke policy by leaving too much money in the register, and this wasn't her first offense.
 
If you were the shift manager, would you leave excess money in the cash drawers after being repeatedly told not to do so. Or would you go on the philosophy that, "You ain't got to do nothin' that nobody tells you"

Lots of assuming and conjecture by you.

She robbed the store? I missed that. Would you please quote that part of the article?

Did you read the part that says it wasn't her first offense. That's what repeatedly means, just for the record
