im a single mother living off 6.25 hr,having to pay for a 52 dollar gas drive off is hard.does the owner not have insurance to cover this kind of loss
Answers:
No they cannot. It is a logical conflict. You did not steal the gas; that is a crime. Police handle criminals, not clerks. Besides, if your boss wanted to take the money from you or somehow hold you responsible they would have to take you to court. That would cost your boss more money than the stolen gas! Don't let them push you around. Let your boss know that you are aware of your rights and you know they he/she cannot hold you responsible for a crime committed by someone else.
You did not steal the gas. Don't pay for it. The owner can prevent thefts by having employees pump gas or making customers pay in advance.
It doesn't really matter what your personal situation is, making employees pay for the theft of customers is not right. I would check with your state Department of Labor (http://www.nclabor.com/) to see if this is even legal.
In your case, if it is legal, I would still think about how much that is costing you personally and if it is even worth it to work there. What if you got several drive-offs in one night? At some point you would be paying to go to work!
The above poster is right, if there is no insurance against drive-offs, the owner needs to implement prepaying. That way, the pump doesn't work until the person has paid.
Start looking for another job. That owner is an asshat and holding you responsible for drive offs is patently ridiculous. If he wants to prevent driveoffs he should make all the pumps prepay. How does he expect you to stop them?
