Manager Demands Workers Pay Missing Money to Balance Till, Internet Bewildered

This manager demanded that the workers present on shift all help to even out the till when it was found to be short $100.

This thread was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/52_pickup_limes, one of the employees in the targeted group. They posted the thread, which contained screenshots of the messages from their boss, to the subreddit with the title "Is the store manager allowed to do this?!"

Commenters overwhelming answered the call of the titular question and confirmed that, no, the manager was not allowed to make that demand. Especially since it's illegal and their accusations against the employees on shift were unsubstantiated. 

When I worked for an omnipotent fast-food coffee chain (no spoilers, but it rhymes with "Marmucks") we had a boss who went on a tirade against staff who were present when $20 went missing one night on cash up. A few days later it was discovered that a $20 had wedged itself above the drop box that you were supposed to drop large bills into. There was a slot, pretty much damn near the size of the actual dropbox slot, that bills loved to find their way into when frantic "martners" were in a mad rush to crank customers through the till. 

The mystery was solved and the day was saved thanks to the Powerpuff Girls, but no apology was ever issued. 

Scroll on for screenshots of u/52_pickup_limes's story and the reactions below.
