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,"

When my mother worked at the deli at Publix in Florida, every day a rotisserie chicken and a pie would fall on the floor around lunch time and the employees would be forced to eat them.

“a tipster had reported that the employee ate three to five slices of deli meat daily”
even organized crime considers that an acceptable skim ...

I once worked as counter person/sandwich maker in a fancy hotel and made it my mission to eat least 1 entire avocado every day.
My hair was awesome in that era!

charges won’t stand:
1. statute of limitations
2. each deli sandwich is an individual crime ... i don’t think they can lump them together like that an claim felony theft

those damn things will probably be valuable collector items someday if they have some kind of unique distinguishing marks that prove they are genuine, original Guaca Bowls!

I’m looking at a half pound of Dietz and Watson turkey breast that cost me $5.19 (which is more than ham).......So that’s probably $.50 per slice....

Taking into account the “calibration slice” made at the start of the order that can be discarded. Usually, it is wafer thin and not a full slice.
No bill this one...

I am sure this happens everywhere daily.
Ever since George Orwell ate those wonderful grapes.
I once reported a guy who was eating the little scraps of pastrami that were left on the cutting board, because it was unsanitary, not because of theft.
Whenever I inform a restaurateur or other business owner of a fault, I always make sure to say that I am not looking for any kind of freebie. That way they are more inclined to take you seriously.

When I worked in places that served food a meal was part of the deal. Not sure when that changed, but to go after her on someone’s claim after several years just makes the owner look petty.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox off the grounds
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I'd have it all in my belly by the time I retired
I'd be weighing in at at least four hundred pounds.

I’d guess the store has cameras, though maybe they don’t catch every corner or cooler in deli back room.
I worked grocery and a new hire stole out of produce department, wrapped it in a bag in back room. I saw him walk out the door without paying happened to tell store mangaer he went out after the guy and guy was terminated - for 1 salad, much less than years of sliced deli.
this was years back before store workers were told to let people steal rather than confron them.
Lots of employees steal in all sorts of jobs, pencils, making copies on work machines, time surfing internet on the job, all sorts of theft unfortunately.

If she showed up for work, every day for five years, a couple pieces of ham shouldn't bother GE.
Do they have an employee discount that she could use to pay for her lunch?
I can't make this number even get close to $9,000.

"JINT EGGLE (as we call it in Picksburgh) does have good deli ham."
That pronunciation brings to mind a tasty breakfast sandwich called a "Ham & Eggel" (ham, egg, cheese, on a bagel).

I worked in a supermarket in the 1970s as a teenager. This was before a lot of technology we have today so as you can imagine, the theft was rampant. One particular scam was that damaged goods had to be thrown away immediately. So a lot of groceries were "damaged" on purpose so that they could be taken off the floor and put back in the warehouse. Once there, it was fairly easy for these items to either get consumed by employees or find their way to employees cars. One guy did get canned because he took it to an extreme. He would fill garbage bags of damaged product and throw them in the dumpster. Then come back later after the store was closed and fill his car up with those same bags.
These days, it's pretty hard to get away with anything like that. Virtually every store has cameras up the ying-yang inside and out. BTW, you will even find dumpsters locked these days!
