a little light hearted fun here, amongst all the seriousness, lets make fun of all the idiots, who lost thier jobs, from stealing.
to me, stealing is the absoulute stupidist way to loose your job. you ARE going to eventually get caught, and Is what you stealing worth what you make ?
i keep in touch with some folks from my store, and last week, a chef, i remember quite well, because he was a arrogent *******, got fired when he tried to sneak two grape drinks out in his chefs bag.
now, get this. guy was making OVER $14 a hour, when i was there, a year ago!
picked his own hours, called out when he felt like, did very little work, and he threw all that away for$3 worth of drinks ?!
totall idiot
a dozen people got fired at my store for stealing stuff, not counting cash.
what dummies got the ax for stealing where you are?
Had a guy get fired last year for stealing..drum roll please..Marked down chocolate milk.It was marked down down to like 25 cents cause we got a lot of extra sent to us.He got caught drinking it out on the sales floor,then when the manager looked in the cooler,found like another two or three empty bottles.And to top it off it was just three weeks before Christmas.
well just last week on the 7th a courtesy clerk got got with an energy drink by LP she claimed she paid for it at SCO! well LP wasnt buy'n her sayn that, kept questioning her! Well she broke and confessed to not buying the energy drink and on TOP of that sat there and confessed to never paying for a single item since she worked thr whick would have been 3 years on the 9th! She had a two page list of items that she claimed to have stolen!
to top that one off! im not going to elaborate on this one other then we had a five yr employee get not only fired but arrested also three weeks ago for $18,000 over a four year period of time!
A guy I used to work with had been with Kroger for nearly ten years and had just got a full time Night crew position at another store a few miles away. Well he had to finish his last week at our store before going to the new one, but he got caught stealing.
Less than a week to go and he loses a decade of senority and a full time job because he got caught stealing a 99cent pack of bacon!
Had a teenager caught jerking off in the bathroom to a bridal shower magazine.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, yea he got fired! What was worse? His mother was called in to sit in the LP office and hear all this~
I'm getting a bit off topic here, but in reply to Nocturnias post, I heard a story of a teenager who worked at a McDonalds who was visited by his girlfriend while on lunch. She got him all hot and bothered but had to leave, so he decided to go into the mens room to, take matters into his own hands.
Well he was a drive thru employee who wore a headset, and he happened to turn it on and everyone in the store who had one on heard the whole thing including the Manager. From what I hear the kid quit shortly after because everyone was laughing so hard at him.

We had a kid back in the late 90s who got caught doing that,only he used lowrider magazines.

not one but two night stockers went behind the bakery counter and took two samlpe cookies while on the clock they were cought on camara and fired worse part the second employee was told what had happened but did it anyways
we've pretty much given up on trying..... no one has time to check up on anyone and the majority of the time the camera system is only semifunctional.
(i.e. cannot access the drive where it is supposed to record the video) this is well known in the store and has been an issue for a few years now despite several efforts to repair it.
wow seems alot of teenage boys masturbate at work. how funny. i can see why though being 16,17 i only had one thought and that was banging the hot cashier, kylie. i know a guy who jacked off with batter from the bakery.
several years ago, i was going to this church a friend got me into (it was interdenominational with beer and NFL after sunday service!). good reason to hang huh...
well my friend comes into the living room at the house we'e all at after sunday's service and finds me sitting on the couch. he sits down next to me and goes something like... "hey man, now that we're close, i need to confide in you ang get something off of my chest that i am not proud of and i did when i was younger right out of college." i'm sitting there sippin' on my beer saying "ok man! lay it on me... "
so here is pretty much what he said. he was working at some professional company doing like oh i dont know scientific lab stuff but kinda real important company and big like procter and gamble. anyways, one day he was working kinda late after hour when no one is there and was in like a gess a lab there. well, time to get it on! out comes his wanger and he is beatin' it good having a jolly ol' time! so all the sudden in walks this lady and kinda sees the whole damn show LMFAO. she stands there for ohhh a second and turns around and walks back out of the room. my friend pretty much tucks it in and zips it up and leaves. well the next day he arrives at 8 am and tries hoping that all will be ok and good. i gess like 15 minutes into the day he gets pages to the main manager's office. walking out was the lady he did the peep show for. needless to say, he only clocked in for 16 minutes that day.
so here i am on the couch hearing this from him. i could barely maintain my conposure and said "look dude, we all got our bag of skeletons. here are some of mine..." well a few days after he goes to have lunch with a church elder. i gess the elder asked "hey did you talk to .... about your transgressions?" "well yea I did and it went quite well. as a matter of fact, he confided in me!" "oh he did huh...."
needless to say, I no longer attend that church. and i an not friends with a friend who can not keep confidential conversations between us private. LOL

Someone at my old store was let go for taking soup home that would've been thrown out anyway. :/
Things like this are just sad. Just because indivituals aren't charities and can't be written off at tax time they would rather have it thrown away then go to feeding someone hungery.

We had one cashier who loaded Green Dot cards without paying for them.
At my store, we once had a grocery clerk get fired becuase he was taking a couple boxes home to use for moving material and didnt realize there was a $.99 bag of chips in one of the boxes. To make maters worse he was deaf as well and i'm sure wasn't aware there were chips in the box...I thought he kinda got the raw end of the deal with that one.

this dude i work with (i cant stand him) said they cant put cameras in the breakroom without telling employees... that sounds counter productive to me -i call bull**** on that.... my boss (overnight grocery manager) just warned me not to do anything stupid in the dairy cooler (he said for me to just stay away from the cooler totally cuz there's a hidden camera in there and a couple the guys been taking smoke breaks/drinking orange juices/choc milks)... welp i'ma keep my mouth shut and see what goes down lol, one guy in particular, i kinda hope gets busted lol.. can't stand that guy (he calls in once a week/always talkin bout drugs/does ****ty work/etc) hope they get rid of that guy.
Our overnight grocery manager throws away thousands of new product every year, has been caught on camera, even corporate knows and do nothing. Even just this year they showed him pictures of him throwing away 3,000$ in new product during the holidays. (He's OCD and can't stand to have any backstock/swim so he just throws it away). We had gotten a wrong pallet into our store one day, so we had worked what we could, put the rest on swim and before the night was over all of it was in the compactor. He's worked there for 20+ years.
Another coworker of mine steals probably at least 8-15$ of product a night to eat himself(He's 500lb, and works on the snack food/drink aisle) Usually a 2L of sprite, few bags of chips, some tea's/waters and whatever else he wants to try that night. The store knows about it, but doesn't do anything at all. He's done this virtually every night for the last 10 years since the store opened.
Then had a group of about 5 employees in the deli get fired after marking down some chicken one day and buying it themselves before putting it out for public sale.
Had one guy got fired for taking some deli food home that was going to be tossed at the end of the day. I mean come on!! It was going to be thrown out!!!

Gotta love the awesome consistency of Kroger.
We do that here and no one cares. I just bought a couple markdowns yesterday and my manager knows we put stuff back there and no one has ever said we can't.
Two deli employees got fired a few months ago because they came down to the bakery and got a couple of our sample cookies, and put icing on them. A manager walked by right when they were eating them and me and two co workers got "a warning" not to let anyone do that ever again (I wasn't even there when it happened).
A produce guy got fired for eating soup from the salad bar that was getting ready to be thrown out. I felt bad for that kid. :(

Yup. I knew a daystocker that got fired for standing around and snacking on produce nut samples that were left out for the customers.
I know not to buy any markdowns until after they are put out for the customers first. We, as employees, are not supposed to shop or pick items up while we are on the clock.
I used to grab halloween candy samples but not anymore. I do not eat inside the store.
Unfortunately, there's this thing called liabiity. If an employee gets sick or injured from whatever they stole, the store could be held liable for having knowledge of the theft and doing nothing. There's also this thing called ethics.....but I digress.
