That doesn't have the ring of truth. How was it determined that 10 of the sandwiches were missing? The co-worker simply dumped the bag in the breakroom and walked away. How do we know some other co-workers didn't snag the sandwiches without owning up to taking them?
Also, the co-worker would certainly notice the bag being a bit light if HALF the sandwiches were missing. How gullible do you think we are? The store is right in denying the refund and I hope the owner does not buckle under on this.
It really is wrong to think that McDonalds would take an order for 20 Egg McMuffins and only deliver ten. That just doesn't happen. I think your co-worker is telling tall tales.
He did not count the sandwiches, had no reason to think there were not 20 in the bag. There are not that many in our office, nor are they dishonest people. You are suggesting that the generous co-worker is dishonest, or the other office workers are dishonest. In our group meeting that morning, people claimed having taken 8 of the sandwiches, and two were left. Someone commented that there were only sausage McMuffins in the bag he brought. He said he had ordered 10 each of sausage and ham. He had no reason to know the weight a bag of sandwiches should be.
How gullible do I think you (”we” = FReepers) are? So you are also suggesting I am dishonest. You have accused me, the generous co-worker, and others in my office, with whom I have worked for many years, of being dishonest. And you have sided with an anonymous McDonald’s worker or workers. I am offended. It is wrong of you to accuse me and people I know very well of deceit. You are out of line.
