'Stop being a drama queen': Loyal employee gets accused of stealing $40 from the register, hostile manager gaslights them

A theft accusation is a tough burn to come back from– especially in the workplace. As a server in a restaurant, you automatically assume responsibility for all of the incoming cash into the restaurant, meaning that you're the one honorable barrier between what's left in the register at the end of the night and what comes home with you in your pocket. Because of this delicate balance of trust, a server's credibility is a fragile, yet desperately important thing to maintain if you're a restaurant manager. You wouldn't want to scare off the last of the good ones over a feeble hunch… right? 

But that's exactly what one hot-headed manager did in our next story.
