” Safeway is in a difficult position.”
!) Sorry I ganged up on you about your mistake. The way the posts are logged, one has to read a lot of them to see that you were bombarded
2) Safeway isn’t in a difficult situation for any reason other than their “one size fits all” response. And that is probably due to some overpaid asshole “lawyer” whose main “job” is to keep the company from being sued ( as opposed to doing the right thing). They didn’t need to cut off the employee’s pay while they “investigated” that which the local police had done already. One of Safeway’s executives was a neighbor of mine ( in Danville, CA) until he passed away. He rose to be President from a store manager. He is probably turning in his grave over how this has been handled. Through their moronic “rules” they have managed to turn something that they could have touted as a positive into a public relations nightmare.
I’m sorry too.
