Popeye's was running a very low priced special with a high volume of sales in Houston when a masked gun wielding individual entered the store, jumped the counter and when unable to get into the safe, took all the money from the register. Total take, about $400. Store rules require that the cashier not allow excessive cash to remain in the register, instead once a defined amount is in the till the cashier is to stop taking orders, count out the excess money, place it in a the correct envelopes and deposit into a secure area. This is policy to discourage large losses from theft.
So this cashier apparently failed to follow this policy and having been terrorized by an armed robber, has now been fired by Popeye's for her role in their loss, unless of course she is willing to repay the money Popeye's lost. See, if it was really about not following policy then repaying would not get her out of being fired. She did violate policy but it's the lack of repayment that is really getting her canned.
Does this seem right?
