Popeyes chicken biscuits1
A Houston-area manager of a Popeye's Fried Chicken restaurant has been fired after refusing to payback the $400.00 she was forced to hand over during an armed robbery. Is this fair?

No, this is not a fair practice.

MSgt Stephan Hall, under what purposes do you justify down-voting my post, MSgt?

Gave this a lot of thought and couldn't decide either way. The article didn't supply enough information.

Since retiring I've been the manager of several cash businesses. There has to be more to the story than her being fired for extra money in the till.

Four hundred dollars is not that much but there seems to be some facts we are not being presented...I want the Paul Harvey on this one...like the father of her baby is the man in the orange hat?

I posted my serious thoughts on this, so now it is time to be a wise ass: They needed the deputy who mistook his pistol for a tazer in there. That would have ended it. He goes to hand the robber his wallet and shoots him instead.

The Popeyes I've visited this year have all been severely understaffed as they can't find employees as wages are to low and the near by bums holding " will work for food signs" won't work, in addition, in most cases that poor shift manager is scrambling just to keep up with work load, having manager pay will never fly

It is going to be a PR nightmare, I think Popeye's Corporate will look to resolve this and make it look like a one store issue.

The store has a policy on the amount of money in the register, while I don't doubt violation of policy is a reason to fire someone, taking in to account the actual operation of the store matter. If it happened during a rush, or off peak.
In the end if the store owner wanted to fire her, that was not the best time to do it. Especially not with the pay with the money or your job ultimatum.

I worked for a company and had to do collecting at people's homes. We had a set amount of cash that we were allowed to carry. If that amount was reached the next stop had to be to make a deposit. If we were found to have more than that amount and the overage was not from the last collection it was a fireable offense.
