of stealing. A judge ruled that the cook did not intend to steal the food and awarded her $46,000.

An old boy named, I think, uh, Marx, talked about this. How the worker isn't even entitled to the fruits of their labor.

if I were corporate, I'd fire that manager for wasting everyone's time with this bullshit.

Seriously. The fries and drink are literally 5% of the total cost to make that meal. A 24 year veteran BK worker is worth their weight in gold, that manager might as well be a fucking customer compared to them.

Probably thought they were slick picking on someone who's esl (assuming she's an immigrant to Canada) and be pricks.

Which is why you'd never be promoted to corporate.
