Just another case of when is enough enough. Just because you got away with it the first 100 times doesn't mean you keep doing it forever. Dude should have been less greedy and realize someone will catch on eventually. What i wonder is why did he pick the mac n cheese as the only item? I would imagine it wouldn't matter what item it was so what was the logic.
No, he went in off shift, out of uniform, walked behind the counter, and processed them all at once. This was not well planned.
They should pay people enough to live and this wouldn't happen.
Wages are set by franchise locations, not corporate.
But embezzling $80k is a bit outside of necessity.
Read the article, that’s not how it went down.
If it's what went on at the subway down the street when i was a teen, this "trick" requires you to remember the prices and tax of an item. He was probably only smart enough to remember the one item's price or didn't care to change it up.
…not exactly the brightest candle on the cake (emphasis mine)
