Marissa Holcomb was hard at work at a Popeye's in Texas. She was in the midst of one of the busiest shifts of the week when a gunman with a stocking cap entered the store, jumped over the counter and robbed the clerk at gunpoint. Unable to open the safes, she opened the registers and the thief made of with roughly $400. Did she receive praise for handing over the cash and surviving the ordeal? Nah:
Marissa claimed that after the robbery, one of her managers gave her a choice to either pay the money back or get fired.
"I don't think it's right because now I'm struggling for my family because what I had to do to keep my life"
Just days after she refused, she was fired for violating store policy:
The Popeyes franchise owner, Z&H Foods Inc., wouldn't talk to us on camera. However, a spokesperson in their human resources department explained that Marissa was fired because she broke policy by leaving too much money in the register and this wasn't her first offense.
some small businesses are getting as heartless as big ones that neighborhood should boycott that store and FYI i had my health aide go to Popeyes yesterday only because Walmarts failure to agree to fair wage as part of the city council's signing off on construction a whole shopping center and KFC were moved out that was almost two years ago center still vacant. they charged me for a 3 piece meal that was two small thighs and a leg and two biscuits $8.67 it taste like crap when i found some meat under all that mix.
when i called they told me i didn't get a side order because they gave me an extra biscuit. i know it's a franchise and all stores aren't like that one or the one close to me.
