CHANNELVIEW, Texas The pregnant Popeyes manager, who was fired less than 36 hours after a robbery, has been offered her job back.
Marissa Holcomb, who is a mother of three with a fourth child on the way, had a meeting with Z & H Foods owner Amin Dhanani on Wednesday, a day after our original story aired of her firing.
"He just apologized and pretty much offered me if I wanted to go back to his business and work there again," she said.
Holcomb says she was originally terminated because she refused to pay back money that was stolen during a robbery March 31. Dhanani argued she was fired because she broke police multiple times by leaving too much money in the register.

They were the same company until about 10years ago, IIRC. What I like about them is some of their side dishes are different than Popeye’s, like Jalepeno bombers.
If she left too much out of the safe and the company lost an extra few thousand dollars because she didn’t follow policy, I think that opens her up to discipline.
I don’t think you can legally demand someone reimburse the funds. You can fire them, but you can’t do it because they refuse or can’t pay the funds back.
The owner may have realized his let her go for an illegitimate reason, and want to bring her back on board to avoid litigation.
I like Church’s Chicken, but I almost never go there, neither indoors or via the drive thru window. There are usually too many loiterers, bums and desperados hanging around that particular restaurant. We have them in Berkeley and in El Cerrito near Bart. Both become points of homeless congregation after sundown. Sometimes, I’ll stop anyway, not listening or caring. Othertimes, I just keep driving. I don’t need too much of that sort of food anyway.

Not guilty!
83rd at Western is a couple blocks from Florence and Normandie where Denny got his bell rung
I certainly would not recommend that area to anyone I cared about.
Maybe they meant to say broke protocol...”
Maybe the writer did intend to say protocol but gave up because it was another word on their “don’t know how to spell list” or even the meaning. Writers now seem to run everything from their fingers to spell check without allowing anything to filter through their eyes or brain.
I am on the fence. I mean I guess if she really cleaned herself up she would be not guilty, but I do see the potential so I guess I go with Not Guilty too.
Really? Pay back the robbery money or face termination?
The has greedy unscrupulous SOBs written all over it.
It's probably a franchise operation run by foreigners, likely from Ustinkistan part of the world. I say this because it's their MO. These SOBs operate outside the law as a matter of routine.
Regardless of who the people are running this slop joint, she does not want to work for these screw worms.
She has that Mary Ann look to her <3
When your employees get a weapon shoved in their face by some deranged violent individual you don’t turn around and fire them because your pissed about losing some dollars. That’s total bull sh*t.
Wowza
What she ought to do for facing down the barrel of a gun by some armed lunatic and then getting fired, is to sue these SOB’s for every type of physical and mental stress known in the medical world. Then sue these SOB’s for wrongful termination which added to even more stress.
Most small businesses like that have maximums they want in the ‘till. If she allowed that maximum to be exceeded, then she did not comply with her guidelines.
If it was after hours and the guy demanded she fork over all the case, then your thoughts could be more reasoned. You obviously follow orders.
If it was during the hours the business was open and he just demanded all the cash in the drawer, then she’s not quite so innocent.
No, it’s computerized spell checkers. Mine overrides me and puts other words in ... :-) ...
It doesn't matter. Their young female employee/mother got a gun shoved into her face by who knows what type of violent savage. And the young employee then gets fired because the biz possibly lost too many dollars?
Sue these greedy biz owners until their out of business.
You have to be smarter than the spell checker that changes your words ... :-) ...
Owners set the rules and when employees violate them, they can get fired. The company said she violated the rules ... so it makes sense that she was fired. It’s the owners’ business and not the employees.
If it was your small business and you lost $5,000 because she didn’t follow your business model guidelines, you wouldn’t care?
In a rush in and grab, they don’t wait to open a safe. They only want the cash in the drawer. If she had followed the guidelines, the guy would have gone away with much less, and she wouldn’t have been in jeopardy.
You’re getting too emotional.
You're in a some weird world there. Trust me.
If it were my daughter who had to go through this violent life threatening event, and then hear these SOB's fired her, I would personally find her the best attorney possible and go after them with a burning vengeance.
Evidently they asked her to reimburse below $400 dollars. They can’t do that. I think right there, that’s the reason she got her job back. They did open themselves up to being sued for wrongful termination.
I don’t think you can demand an employee pay back this sort of loss, and firing them for it was probably a big no-no in her state. That’s why he’s eating humble pie over it.
If he had simply stated she didn’t follow business guidelines, he would have been well within his rights to terminate her.
It was quiet in there. She probably shouldn’t have had more than $100 in the till.
Ya talk about emotion? Ya ever seen a young clerk with a large part of their head blown away because they were trying to earn 9 bucks an hour?
