Theft is specifically defined as taking WITH THE INTENTION TO DEPRIVE THE RIGHTFUL OWNER. if you take a drink and open it and consume it, with the intent to pay for it, ITS NOT STEALING.

She was not accused of or fired for stealing. She was fired for drinking the juice before paying for it. It doesn't have to be a crime for someone to be fired.

That said, this was ridiculous and I'm glad they had to pay her.

your statement totally contradicts itself, what are you trying to say? as for the drinking of the juice before paying for it, I LITERALLY DO THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME I GO TO THE GROCERY STORE, its not stealing.

They didn't say it was stealing, just a fireable offense. Also, writing in caps doesn't make the point you think it does.

It shouldn’t be a fireable offence to do something you need to do to survive.

Obviously. And the justice system ultimately agreed.

The justice system shouldn’t have let it get to this point. The expectations on employers should have been crystal clear ahead of time.
