'He just left me there': Employee left alone for hours only to find out the manager walked out with thousands of dollars of company money

In the two long years in which I worked as a cashier in retail, I have seen my fair share of dramatic moments. I have faced angry customers who broke store items in a fit of rage, I have seen annoyed workers quitting mid-shift and never returning, and I have had to deal with a decent number of petty Karen customers.

But never have I ever been on a shift and seen my manager run out the door with thousands of dollars of stolen company money and never return. Which is not something this Reddit writer can say for himself. I was truly shocked when I read this story, and I was even more shocked to read the comments and learn about how often stories like this happen, sometimes without the company even noticing, and many times without the thief being caught.

I invite you to read through this incident and the comments for a real eye-opening experience. And when you're done, make sure you check out these funny memes for a hilarious recap of 2023.
