Well, I think it's because they haven't actually caught him in the act, and because of that, they don't have a good reason.
At Magic Mart, you get a 90-day trial period when you start (I'm still in mine) where they can fire you or you can quit for any reason. But once you're past that 90-days....and I think Vernon has been there a long time, so they need a good reason before they get him.
They caught Roger in the act so they obviously had good reason to "let him go."
Hopefully a customer or two will complain to management. That should get the ball rolling.
This has been one of the longest emotional rollercoaster workdays I've experienced in a long time and my body feels like it got hit by a Mack truck. Know what I mean? Anywhoo... Night! Catch you soon. Keep up the good freeptoons, I really like this 'next generation'.
