Calgary police arrest two suspects in fatal gas station hit and run

[FraserB]

Maybe at the smaller independents, but at the chains with actual HR, accounting and legal departments, it's not going to happen.

This is probably why the manager didn't want to comment much and have his name out there. People spreading unsubstantiated rumors accusing him of theft and labor violations.

The law and the station's policy is clear. You can't deduct from employees for losses in a situation like this and the company policy is to not engage a thief. Spreading rumors and making allegations is useless.

I am willing to bet company policy is all media is to be directed to head office and not even DM is allowed to answer questions.

You guys are adorable with your "It's illegal, therefore it doesn't happen" attitude, lol. Happens all the time to people with little to no knowledge of the law (teenagers, FOB's, etc.) by low level scumbag managers, in entry level jobs like restaurants, pubs, and gas stations.

I'm not arguing Centrex dude's right to privacy, or anything, I just think your naivety is cute.

When my wife worked at Turbo as a teenager, she had money deducted by means of shorted hours, so there was no paper trail.

there was always the threat of deductions for being short, no one ever was actually deducted, mainly because it is illegal iirc.

I'm not saying it did happen, just that it's a possibility. The next 2 posts after yours included an actual case of it happening, and the "threat" of it happening which is just as bad

Ooops!! Got it mixed up with a client of mine.

I'm not even an FOB, if I was I would be FleshPlince, I guess.

Does the owner take it out of their pay or something?

A buddy of mine worked at a Petro in high school. They tried to take it out of his pay until we phoned the labour board about it. So they just made him quit shortly after by giving him zero hours of work.

This is how the real world works. Anyone saying otherwise is very ignorant to how life is in these menial jobs.

Since it didn't happen to you, it hasn't happened to anyone? Lol. Well, I'VE never been raped, so it must not exist.

It happens, usually to teenagers who don't know the laws, and at the station manager level. When my wife worked at Turbo as a teenager, she had money deducted by means of shorted hours, so there was no paper trail.

Same deal when I worked at a gas station as a teenager. Short register or missing fuel, hours deducted. The owner would spread the deduction among everyone that worked that day, so it would put you in the bad books with the other jockeys if someone got away with. The register was alway short, pretty sure it was the owner himself slipping twenties out

Looks like he's wearing an old-timey burglar's mask. I bet he has a sack with a dollar sign $ on the seat beside him.

The victim is apparently in critical condition and may not survive. Add manslaughter to his charges if she dies. Also, the lady was recently laid off her job and started working at this Centrex 2 weeks ago. This could explain why she did what she did, a new employee who's not too familiar with company policy or feared she could lose her job. Who knows, hopefully she recovers.

From my experience, low paying entry level jobs are among the most dangerous. You're generally young and or inexperienced and eager to impress your employer. I'd be curious to hear what if any training her employer gave for such situations. I'm betting that it wasn't mentioned and she panicked doing the first thing that came to mind which was "protecting her job." I really hope the kiddies get caught. In this day and age of social media I give it until Friday before they are revealed.

WTF? Blame the government? It's not like it's illegal to set pay before pump rules yourself. I guess we do need the government to hold our hands for everything, because clearly everyone is retarded now.

Is it that expensive to upgrade cameras to 1080p? Seems like every security camera footage you see these days is as grainy as they were ten years ago. Dash cams take better stills.
