Mcds – you had me LOL!
Looks like his shirt says “Always Hustle”. Guess he did!
Where he is going they will not be serving 2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce cheese, pickle onion on a sesame seed bun.
$100,000+ embezzled in 10 months. So, $10,000+/month (give or take). I can’t see that amount of theft happening at the window- more like the back office. However the manager accomplished his crime, it will be an excellent learning tool for corporate. Maybe McDonald’s would allow him to pay back his $100,000 debt by working for 1/2 his salary up in Chicago, I hear they’re desperate for managers.
I’m willing to bet you anything this is a poorly run restaurant with high turn over , poor customer service and an owner with too much trust to a manager who’s always saying : I don’t have enough help or I worked 70 hours last week. Therefore the ownership is worried if they complain about leadership or service the manager will leave. In this case that would have been better. I work in retail whenever a return is done it needs a two signatures and if an associate has above average returns it is investigated. He probably felt he was “owed” that because of all the extra work he put in.
Actually, no cash needed to be taken. My husband worked with an assistant manager at a Pizza Hut years ago who traded out pizzas with different people/businesses in exchange for free drinks at a bar, car repairs and other stuff. He even had local baseball teams come in for free pizza. No telling what else he traded pizzas for.
He was going to only take $10, but he decided to supersize it.
What a Mc Idiot
Coulda used that money to fix the ice cream machine at least
If you suddenly go from driving a 2003 Buick Regal to a 2022 Ferrari and buy everyone’s drinks every weekend.. that’s a bit of a red flag. They may have done a quarterly/yearly audit and noticed the location was suddenly hemorrhaging money.
I bet this guy never thought of audits /accounting. Outside his realm of thought. It is for many people who think they can get away with stuff like this.
Sudden McDonald’s starts to lose $ …. no chance. If there’s one things that’s certain, is that people will always be hooked on that junk.
Can we say what about doing audits? About ten grand a month missing & nobody notices that much missing, either in cash or missing inventory, if it comes from no receipt given cash sales (as mentioned in another comment), where order is filled to customer but register sale is voided or canceled, & cash is pocketed. I would think that otherwise an ingredients inventory should eventually show a shortage, or a shortage of cash that doesn’t agree with cash register sales income amounts. You can’t hide that kind of shortage forever, & probably should have shown up sooner if regular audits are done.
Wait until he gets McSentenced and get a bunkie with the Hamburgler and share a tossed salad.
The old Micky Ds saying
“He’s just lovin it”
The real, live….McBurglar!!! Shame on him.
McFelon!
This kind of theft is the reason why most restaurants say if you didn’t receive a receipt your next meal is free. Restaurant staff take orders and if they believe or know the customer is going to pay in cash, they will immediately cancel the order. Customer pays in cash, receives food but does not receive receipt. Employee pockets cash payment from the customer.
Wonder if….. bada da da da he’s lovin’ it lol
Does he qualify for a HAPPY MEAL?
I hope it’s location at Hwy 29 and Old Chemstrand. At least it would explain how they somehow manage to be the worst of any McD’s I’ve ever used and manage an almost 100% messed up order rate. If this guy was the manager then we could likely expect some improvement
