I was absolutely surprised to find out that the store manager had been stealing currency from the safe.
Bill always seemed like such a nice, caring type of guy, he just never struck myself and others as a typical thief.
He also never struck myself and others as being dumb, even though I have to say that stealing currency from your own job is pretty dumb! Corporate accounting software, combined with typical inspections, make it truly hard to steal currency without someone noticing. This is a currency-based business, both of us don’t take checks or credit cards, so the safe is always filled to capacity. Bill must have thought that in such a large, stressed cannabis dispensary nobody would miss a few hundred bucks, but Bill was wrong. This is the main reason that the corporate office always hires their own private security guard, who does not answer to the manager of the cannabis dispensary. The bosses want the security team to be independent, because if the manager of the cannabis dispensary is telling them what to do it makes it easier to steal. That is what Bill did, and not only did he lose his job but the cannabis dispensary legal department is important charges! This sends a message to all the other cannabis dispensary employees, that if you steal and get caught they will try and send you to jail! I didn’t steal anyway, but the thought of going to jail would absolutely keep myself and others from developing “sticky fingers” around the cannabis. Why would I steal anyway when both of us get such a sweet employee discount on cannabis products?
