Never pays to try and short cut policies, or to get something for nothing. Karma baby, karma. Sigh. But hey! More hours for you!

Whenever someone gets fired over the years at my husband's work (depot of home OR Lowe's) it has always been for one of two reasons only. #1. stealing. #2. sexual harassment (or fraternization)

What a shame it is when employees try to cheat the system and usually it isn't for much money off either. I am glad to hear that the management did follow up and he isn't going to get away with it. Such a sad story about the employee in the coma....that has to be a nightmare for his family.

An employee? He didn't know it'd be caught on video? Was he using the mulch to make meth? Can you use mulch? I thought it was fertlizer. Could explain the employees problem. By the way? It was dark by 8:00? You and your late by 8! Stop taunting me with the warm weather and the long days! I will hurt you what with my SAD addled brain! Have you no sympathy? Can't you send some of that sunshine and warm weather my way?

It's amazing what people will do when they think they are getting away with doing wrong. When I was a manager at the "Big K" we busted folks for counterfeiting, taking cash out of the register and stealing everything from jewelry, food and clothes. Too bad people can't be a bit more honest. Believe me, it doesn't pay to be a thief, they've got you on camera 24/7. Hugz n Lub, Bebe da FairyGodMum

Oh, I meant to say, my prayers are with the person with asthma and now in a coma, and with the family and friends. I grew up with asthma, it's nothing to joke about. People take for granted that they will live forever. Live everyday and enjoy the sunshine. Breath the fresh air and be grateful for everyday. Hugz n Lub, Bebe da FairyGodMum

The first and last time I 'stole' something at work was when I was a teenage Burger King slavey and got busted for eating some of the fries I was supposed to be dumping in the garbage because they were too cold/stale to serve to customers. The guy actually wanted to fire me for 'stealing' garbage! The other manager intervened, thank goodness, and explained eating the fries was a no-no for health code reasons. After that I figured the safest course was to never, ever, ever use my employee status to get something cheap or free. If Mr Mulch had been busted for eating garbage as a teenager he'd still have a job today. ~LA

Good grief! Will people NEVER learn that karma is a bitch?! Did he REALLY think he'd get away with ripping the bags?! As for the guy in ICU, that's so incredibly sad. Do you know how his mom is doing?
