Yeah I agree pretty much, I think she was in a tough spot if she knew those people but also should have known as a manager what the protocol was from corporate what to do in that situation so I can't really fault them for firing her either if she didn't follow it.
If they are known thieves I don't get why they would have even entertained making them food
Yes it was. But the initial discussion was taking issue about people assuming racism occurred and those that don't because they care about the other person's job more.
What does it say for customers who have repeatedly not paid in the past? Keep allowing them to do it?
Their policy is likely if they are robbed to call the police. The police will review the security footage and take statements from witnesses.
Exactly.
What hypotheticals are you referring to? Ones based on observation of the initial video where the lady accused the guys of not paying, and their initial reaction isn't even to deny what she's saying is true?
So we agree?
If the manager had done the right thing here she'd still have a job.
Because it was a dead giveaway of someone who is being deceptive.
Same, my initial impression was racism when I clicked on the thread initially, didn't have anything to really add to the discussion since it seemed like a plain, banal, "all black people look the same" case of racism. Then I saw the title update, looked at the tweets, and thought to myself "oh god the right wing is going to be using this for eons."
Yes, and usually it's immediately followed by a "what the fuck are you talking about". In this case it wasn't.
Yeah it sucks.
One consistent theme in LP training from my time working at a few major chains was that you've gotta be subtle. They handled this all wrong, but I wonder if they even have a documented procedure to deal with a situation like this - who dines and dashes at Chipotle?
