An Ohio supermarket worker could face criminal charges after her employer told cops that she consumed more than $9000 worth of deli meat during the past five years she has worked for the business...

... told cops that a tipster had reported that the employee ate three to five slices of deli meat daily (and had been doing so since she began working at the supermarket). The worker allegedly "has been consuming product from the deli in Giant Eagle over the past 5 years,"

Or maybe there was unindicted cheese theft too?

After eating ham, she had to go on the lam.

She tried to lam, but they cheesed her.

Maybe it was ham from those hogs that are finished on acorns. That stuff sells for something like $200/lb

Did she have Green Eggs with her Ham.

Bye the way , was her name Sam I am?

Did she make sure that the deli slicer was properly polished? Ya gotta take something like that to Kruger.

DANG!

If she’s eating Prosciutto (Parma or San Daniele) it can be $20-30+ per pound.

Worked at BK in H.S. fries and double whoppers frequently disappeared.. there's a special trash can for old burgers and fries. as long as you counted the burger as “waste” the manager didn't care.( most of them, nightshift was far more lenient so, 3 slices of deli a day.. sheeeses. what about the fat chick stuffing a whole ham between her legs and walking out? or the guy with the baggy pants carrying out 20 NY strips?

I am sure this woman does, petty theft misdemeanor vs grand larceny felony.

[Larry Lucido]

Kramer is definitely a do-it-yourselfer.

[HamiltonJay]

Standard Giant Eagle doesn’t carry that... perhaps a market district...

[HamiltonJay]

Even at $20 a lb, you are at $5 a day or less.. math doesn’t add up

[Major Matt Mason]

Theft is theft. We've become way too comfortable with stealing in this country. Theft has become a major problem in retail, and I know from experience that it became much worse during the Obama years (not a coincidence, I'm sure).

She’s got the meat.

There is truth to that old proverb "eating you out of house & home". In this case though it's more like "eating away the profits & goods". When supermarkets has rats that are eating away the products, don't they just put out rat bait to just eliminate the problem?

I once saw a similar situation at a warehouse where a guy was caught eating out a case of food. The manager just billed him for the whole case and told him to take his partially eaten case with him off the premises to enjoy. He then instructed the HR dept setup salary deduction for the case of food over a time period.

When the guy tried to make a big fuss out of it, the manager simply explained that he was fully within his rights to do everything that he did. The more severe choice that he could have done was to have him fired & arrested for theft of company goods.

This way: a) the guy kept his job b) he had his case of food to keep enjoying c) he's getting a great deal at wholesale pricing and d) it's a gradual salary deduction.

We had that deal at the Rax roast beef I worked in back in the mid seventies. Put the wrapper in the bucket, no charge. Nice! I once made a triple Whopper, almost too much! (2nd job with GF)
