This isn't some stupid girl or rant thread, it's an actual problem, and I'm curious what others think from a non-bias point of view.

I work at a Dunkin Donuts, next week is my last week and then I'm off to England to study for a semester abroad. Anyway A couple of days ago I came into work on time, and there was huge line, anyway there was a huge line, so the girl on the cash register is like "I got to go, I got to go", so I go to assign myself to the other drawer(There's only 2 cash registers), but there's some kind of wierd problem with it(I.E. the manager nevers igned himself off so I can't get on it), I'm like I can't get on the drawer... So she simply took off and told me to count the drawer for her later.

Now here of course comes the problem, if the drawer is short at the end of the night, the person assign to it has to pay for it. I already assume this would happen so I put in the book, I'm not taking responsibility for hte drawer. Now when the line cool down 2 hours later, there might of been the possibility of counting drawer and then putting myn ame on it for the rest of the night, but I figured if a customre comes, a line could form quick so I'm just not going worry about it. Anyway I and the other guy rang on the drawer all night and so I counted it for her and took care of it, however agian it's not my drawer, and I did it to the best of my abilities. So I just called for my hours, she picks up and says her drawer was short 70 dollars but it sounds like that's the combined thing of multiple nights, and not all that night, and she's like "Can you help out cuz if I don't pay it, I'm not going be put on the schedule" To give you some perspective she's my age and pregnant with her first kid(i.e. 19 years old) and doesn't come off too smary to boot...

Anyway I simply said I'll talk about it when I See her because I needed some time to think and I don't like being cornered into something. I feel bad since it's downtown providence and most of htep eople working at htis dunkin, probably need the money... However, it's not my fault... She shouldn't of left, and if she really had to go, she should of said the line will have to wait, I wouldn't of complained about it... IN the end, am I being too callous or should I this leech 30 dollars of my money?
 
At the risk of sounding callous myself.....she could have had that plan all along. She knew that she is supposed to count out her drawer, and didn't. Who's to say that she didn't remove that amount and hope that you would take pity and cover for her?

Wow... I never even thought about that... But that is so true... I'm thinking of calling my manager and just being like "What is up with this"
 
lol, dude, when I worked at a movie theater there was a busty blonde girl that pulled this scam on every new dork that got hired. lol

She did eventually get arrested for re-selling tickets, but so did our roadie who was her thrall.
 
If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Sucks to be her. If you feel generous, loan it to her and tell her you expect it back before you leave.

ALl right, OKay... well my first instinct was no... but I needed to know if I was just being selfish-callous *****ebag or not... The callousness of interwebs assures me...
 
There's nothing selfish or callous about your actions concerning this situation.

It's her issue and she's gotta deal...

I just talk to my manager and he was like you have to pay and I was like "WTf" and he was like it's only 20 bucks for that night, so just give her 5 bucks... and I was like "ohh... she said 30" and he like "no way..." Haha... And just to be a dick cuz I could had him talk to her, I was like "no no I don't want give you a headache" so I'm just give her 5 dollars, and if she wants anymore just laugh...

Glad it was solved, back in the day I worked at Dunks too, fun job. We had those problems all the time.

Agreed.

I think a large part of it comes down what the reason was she had to leave for. Was it the end of her shift? If so she should have stayed and helped out until the line was over, rather than leaving other people hanging. Not to mention it looks bad on the store for an employee to just up and leave right in the middle of a big line.

I've never worked in a similar environment, but that's just the way I see it.

You know some of it simply, I realize that life's hard compare to my situation, I'm a college kid going to England for christ sakes... But at the same token I odn't want no one taking advantage of my good nature...

I hear you man, you have to walk a fine line.
 
Also you got figured... The drawer was only short 20 bucks, and the 70 bucks thing comes from the fact her drawer been short all week apparently... So for it to be only 20 bucks... And the fact that some of it was probably her fault and it was on all damn day... She should be ****in happy as ****, that we didn't take from it when we could of ...
 
I remember working at at place called "Braums Ice Cream" for a summer...

a co-worker kept taking gallons of milk out of the back freezer for himself. Turns out he'd been doing it for a year until I called him on it.

Co-workers are just f**kin' nuts man.

Movies, I'm just excited to hear that you're going to England for a while. :up:

Traveling is a great blessing, and so is Dunkin' Donuts. Enjoy!

:wow: :huh:

Uhm....unless you mean its deducted from your salary at the end of the month ( and even still that's at the Manager's discretion) they actually shouldnt make you do that, and in some cases like in Canada it's illegal for them to make you do that I believe.

**** being callous, see a Trade Union or something man.
 
she seems like a money leech. anyway it shouldnt have to be your problem.
 
When you get over to england get a job here. Its like 2 dollars to a english pound. You'll go back home a richer man!

Thats my advice anyway.
 
Man Movies is so easy to sucker, us brits are gonna bleed you dry...

:(
 
^
yeah but atleast he will get laid by as many peroxide headed essex girls as he can handle
 
essex girls don't do yanks, they do rough edged london geezers...
 
i was giving them the benefit of the doubt in my last post.
 
so she told you it was short 70 and needed like thirty.

and the manager told you it was only short 5.

and you still think she was being honest?
