Man that was great.

I worked at Ben & Jerry’s. We got free fountain soda.

The kid tried to pay for the food but the line to pay was so long he would get in trouble for taking too long. He probably also saw how much food was thrown away every day.

I don't get where it alludes to him being special needs. He just doesn't seem like the sharpest tool.

As a teen I worked for both Hardees and Burger King and we never got free food. We got a pitiful discount with all kinds of conditions. We always had to wait until there were no customers to get our own food and had to step outside of the back area and go to the counter. I never ate the food because there was never enough time.

These people suck.

If I were his manager I would have sat him down for a talk. Im sure I would have learned the he didn't have enough money to buy food and that he wa²s waiting for his paycheck to arrive. I would have added up how much it cost to buy the chicken and fruit cup each day until his paycheck and gave him the money to pay for it.

Because the manager can’t fire someone with disabilities so instead created a crime to fire him with. So traumatizing. Poor kid.

's
You can fire someone with disabilities. There really aren't many protections in the working world. This happens more than you would imagine. So many teens are "managers" in fast food restaurants and abuse any kids who are different.

My first job was on a golf course in the late 80s and we got a free hot dog or egg salad sandwich, chips, soda and candy bar every afternoon. My teen brothers bagged groceries and got a free deli sandwich with any fixings, sides, and a drink every shift.

That’s… not A Thing. As a teen I worked in a shoe store and an ice cream shop. Where tf were they supposed to procure a free lunch for me from? Your experience is not the norm.

When was free lunch for teens a thing? I worked in a grocery store in my teens, along with many other teens, in the early 90's. We did not get free food.
If you worked a register, you weren't even allowed to ring up your own food, you had to wait in the same line as every other customer.

Stealing is stealing. How you feel if he stole $1000 from your pocket book?

You are just as disgusting as this poor excuse of a human who was his manager. A normal, decent human being would have told this kid after the first time that he is not allowed to steal. An even better human being would have bought the kid his lunch. Only an evil person waits in waiting for a month for a hungry kid to steal enough food so the charges can be higher.

Also, he didn’t steal $1000 from anyone, he stole some of the cheapest food they have. If you can’t see the difference there is zero hope for you. May yoh be hungry enough one day to confer stealing a chicken nugget and a fruit cup.

I certainly wouldn’t lay in wait months letting him steal a few dollars each day til he reached the amount police would arrest him for.

That manager stole far more than $100 from taxpayers for that insane abuse of law enforcement time. Arrest him.

[Anonymous]

The manager saw him eat the food 10 times and never said it was wrong. That's consent. No theft occurred.

The manager intentionally let food go to waste. The manager stole from Meijer.

I worked at Baldinos as a teen and literally robbed them blind as a teen. I probably stole 20 cases of beer and 20 pounds of rib eyes in the summer of '93.

Different poster than the one you are quoting here.
Ok, you're being absurd.

You think the manager should be responsible for buying his employee lunch every day? Should he do that for EVERY employee? That would literally exceed his salary.

"Hungry kid?" You think this kid is chronically hungry? Or just gets hungry around lunch time the way every human does?
