Boy, what the hell is going on in Glenrock every few days something else is going on you never heard of this and Glenrock before going back years ago. It’s gotten bad.
Terrible. My family loves Francesca’s. We buy takeout every week. Best pizza around here. I hope it is not somebody internal, e.g. a new employee. Whoever it is I hope he/she gets caught.
Any cameras ,
It’s an inside job.
Poor guy sounds like he can’t accept that it is probably one of his own employees who stole from him. Time to lock the safe and get cameras.
Sounds like an inside job!
Coin Boy ?
They will find out. I’m sure the surveillance somewhere around the store.
ICE is on it’s way….
No lock on the safe? How many people would know the combination or how to open it? The list can’t be long.
From the safe???? That really narrows down the list of suspects. Any employees with a drug problem?
