A week or so into the job, the owner came into the back room and asked me why I took the money. With a surprised look I replied “what money?”. Apparently the place had been robbed earlier. He stared at me for a long time and then walked out.

I don’t remember all the details, but within a few hours, the detectives on the case had the thief. It was the assistant manager who was supposed to be training me and they had his confession as was later reported in the papers.

The whole thing weirded me out and a couple of weeks later I quit the job.
Well, well, well. When I was 19, I worked at the Howard Johnson's restaurant off of I-80 in PA. I worked the midnight shift as cashier. In the morning the asst mgr would come in and take my cash drawer to the back room and lock the door. A while later the mgr, Mr. A. would inform me that I was $20 short AGAIN. This went on for a week or so. I was so careful at night with the $$ but in the morning I was short $20 (not $10.99-always $20).

I quit because of the accusations and found out later on, that of course it was the asst doing it. I should have known, a cashier always counts their own drawer. I was young and naive but I would think that Mr. A., the mgr could have smelled a rat and it wasn't me!!
