Yet again the robotic thought process embraced by so many sheeples has reared it's big-horned head again. That's right, another "progressive" company is waving it's Zero-Tolerance thermonuclear flag. A California company no less. But it is based in Texas so that might explain it.
Here's the gist: A 31-year-old employee named Cynthia Lopez was working at the USA Gas Station, owned by Tesoro Corp., at the corner of Kettleman Lane and Lower Sacramento Road in Lodi, CA. She'd been working there for about 3 weeks. I'm guessing at minimum wage. The other night a robber displayed a gun and demanded the cash in her drawer. She obliged. The robber left. And yet, even as frightened as she must have been, she managed to give the police an accurate physical description of the gunman as well as had the presence of mind to look at his getaway vehicle and remember his licence number. Which allowded the police to quickly catch the suspected robber.
I'd be expecting a big, fat raise. Or at least a free donut and coffee. Nope. Ms. Lopez was fired the next day. Seems the company has a policy that only $50 is allowed in the cash register at a time and Ms. Lopez had a whopping $66.00.
"Sarah Simpson, a Tesoro spokeswoman, said privacy laws bar her from commenting on any individual employees but that the company has written rules.
"We do have policies on cash limits in registers, to protect our employees' safety. We have a zero tolerance policy," Simpson said."
And that is where Zero Tolerance will get you. !@#@! sheep. Baaah.
