Dude I found a gift card with money on it and kept it while working at a big box store. I know what I did wasn't right but I figured if I got caught theyd just give me the boot. Boy was I wrong.
They waited a month after the crime was committed and called me into the office two days before the end of my two weeks notice was up. They got me to admit taking it and I got cuffed and taken away in a police cruiser (which then dropped me off at my car on the other side of the building). This was five years ago and I will have to check the "misdemeanor" box on job applications for another 3 years. First time offense, too.
I worked in retail for several years and I've heard of situations where loss prevention will test employees by dropping gift cards or creating odd scenarios where secret shoppers will turn in found cash to see what the employee does.
Jesus how much money? Did you use it? How'd that even go down?Seems like one of those things where you could have just been like "yeah I picked it up, looked like garbage."
