John has been the manager of the cannabis dispensary for as long as I’ve worked here.
He’s such a nice old dude, friendly to everyone he meets.
Well, one weekend we all found out that he had been stealing from the company. We were all shocked, especially by the way things played out. Picture the scene – it’s late in the evening, and there are only a few customers in the cannabis dispensary. John and I were working, and all of a sudden a man walks in flanked by two security guards. The man was the regional manager for the parent company that owns the cannabis dispensary. The security guards physically took John outside of the cannabis dispensary, saying he was forbidden from being on the premises. If John tried to come back into the cannabis dispensary they would call the police and have him arrested for trespassing. I was appointed as the temporary manager of the cannabis dispensary, while they evaluated the store and figured out how to right the ship. I was a little afraid, because if John had stolen too much inventory they might decide to shut down the cannabis dispensary entirely! For the next two weeks I was acting manager, and helped the accountants and inventory experts evaluate the cannabis dispensary and all the products. Once I even saw John hanging around the cannabis dispensary parking lot, so I called the cops on him. Tomorrow is the big day, and I will find out if they are keeping me on as the cannabis dispensary manager, or if they are bringing in someone new.
