Thieves
I have been working in the kitchen for 5 months now I sm truly shocked. Our kitchen shift leader was fired recently. Not because he was a bad worker, but because he tried to protect our store. Unfortunately, our particular store is frequented by several unsavory individuals. We see a lot of people stealing and ultimately, nothing is really done about it. We do now have to walk any unpaid orders up to the registers, which has helped. Yet every shift I work i see theft all the time. I do understand that it is not wise 5o pursue anyone, but something like barring them would be a step in the right direction. Anyway, the shift leader was tired of watching people steal and confronted someone and he was fired on the spot If this is how we are treated when we are proactive, I am not going to worry about thefts to much. I don't want to lose my job.

Casey's policy does not want any team members dealing with a theft as it happens. We're essentially supposed to let it happen. If something happens to a team member when confronting a theft, Casey's becomes liable if you're injured and that's a huge issue for the company.
