    You can't do it Mitch.
    I'd fire them also.
    Multiple reasons.
    IT's not the 8 cents it costs them.
    If you are in a poverty stricken area and word gets out you are getting free shit somewhere, it causes a homeless circus both inside and outside your store.

    Also, a 7-11 cashier making $9 an hour doesn't have the authority to give anyone free shit.
    It isn't their money and isn't their position to be doing it.
    You are stealing from your boss.
    The value of the item is irrelevant.
    You wouldn't want that for your own business would you?

    Can't do it bro.

    sadly benny big scrot is right. not her place to give stuff away. she should have simply bought the coffee if she felt so strongly about it.

    exactly right, Benny...The correct and just thing to do would have been for her to pay for it out of her own pocket...

    This is crux of the problem with liberals

    Too shortsighted to see consequences past the temporary warm fuzzy feeling they get from giving away other peoples' things (coffee, tax money, health care)

    The last thing you want to be known as is the boss who doesn't care if you give free shit away.
    That's just common sense.
    Like other dude said, if the cashier really cared that much she woulda took a buck out of her pocket and bought the guy a coffee.
    Who the fukk is she to take it out of mine?
    She's making $9 for a reason.
    Cashiers aren't cashiers because they make good decisions in life.

    That isn't the same. She is trying to take from the big bad man who has plenty of coffee and give it to her pet charity case

    If she paid for it I wonder if she is too far gone to have learned a lesson when that homeless guy kept coming back

    COMMON SENSE bro.
    Doesn't affect them one bit.
    The owner may make some kind of donation to a soup kitchen after this to calm it down, but there is 0 chance that bitch is getting her job back.

    You fire your employee instantly for this.

    I have had a business before, wasn't legal, but it was a business.
    You think if I caught a runner trying to scam me he'd still be working for me after?

    Stealing is stealing, no matter how much it's worth.

    Have had hundreds of free beverages in my life from hundreds of cashiers.
    Makes it easy to decide where I may buy my next tank of gas when I am in town.
    Not afraid to walk in with a competitors cup for refills, too.

    She should have dumped the old coffee down the drain like a good employee.

    Tough to decipher what you're saying but Carnegie wasn't a saint like he was portrayed. Stuck it to his workers when they needed him the most.

    Benny every night I give our customers cans to a homeless guy (we get 10 cents per empty can at recyclers over here).

    This homeless man not only teaches English to asian kids but donates all the money from the cans to a childhood cancer foundation.

    Last year he donated nearly 20k to this charity. Makes me feel so small for the fact that I only donate around 1k per annum.

    He has not only my respect but also the admiration of surrounding businesses for putting the needs of others above the needs of himself and is a much revered member of the community.

    Never judge a book by its cover benny.

    Have you ever stopped to have a indepth conversation with any of these 'bums'?

    Point is there is so much more richness within people than what you care to realise.

    We give our hard earned money to a worthless piece of trash gov't who then in turn gives it away to terrorists, both domestic and foreign. The corporate welfare and social welfare is staggering. The trillions we have given to countries who hate our guts is disgusting. Lobbyists are the 4th branch of government influencing scumbag partisan hacks to steer our dollars to their causes, noble or not. This country is ******

    A lot of guys missed high and wide on this one.

    It sure sounds like public sentiment resulted in her not being fired.

    And---while wrong, she did pay for it out of her pocket.

    Paid for it after the fact though.
    She's obviously lying as well.

    ok, I see that everyone keeps saying what should she have done throw the coffee away? This isn't the end of the night. I would like to think most owners would give away something that was going to go to waste

    Benny-- you never heard of Blue Laws?

    I'm 40-- and they were around when I was a kid.

    Hell, Car Dealerships in a lot of states are still governed by Blue Laws.

    I agree to an extent-- small businesses can't give product away-- however, there are times---when a good deed goes an especially long way.

    This was a bad business decision on the guy's part---- in today's world, where everything can be captured on a smart phone, posted to the internet and social media-- that $1 dollar cup of coffee can cause him a lot of problems.

    He clearly isn't an effective manager/owner because if he were he wouldn't have allowed it to get this far. He should have simply taken the girl aside---asked her to pay for it right then, and then explained to her why they can't give their products away for nothing.

    She's a kid-- 19--- teach her, educate her, don't throw a fuking tantrum over a $1 dollar cup of coffee that costs him a fraction of that.

    Had he done that-- none of this shit would have happened. Poor decision by the girl, and a bad managerial decision by the owner.

    Aren't you the guy that walked away from a big hospital bill, leaving it to others to cover it?

    Who wound up eating the cost of your bill because you refused to pay?

    Yet you're an authority on others bad life decisions?

    (If it was someone else who stiffed the hospital - I apologize)

    Pay for it and give it to the guy.

    Then again: wasn't really the greatest idea to fire her immediately.

    Like Sam said: take her to the side, explain it and that's that.

    I doubt she was able to see it from a business owners point of view. She wanted to do the "right" or good thing, that's all.
