Long story, and she technically wasn't fired (yet), but we're all pretty sure she won't take the alternative.

Wait, did she buy the gifts for her friends using their money? Because that doesn't seem fair. If she just straight up gave the discount, fair.

She straight up gave a discount. As in she used the store budget to buy the gift stock, and when her friends came in she'd give them a discount on it.

We had an employee executed last Christmas because she was abusing the discount button on register. She ended up giving over $2500 worth of discounts. It didn't end well.

Fair, next. Same thing happened at my work, sometimes he even gave his friends food for free when they came in. He was a cool guy but you're essentially stealing money from your employer when you do that

That seems like an excessive punishment.

Say she got a 20% discount, and I'm just throwing random numbers out here, what's to stop her from taking 90 bucks from her friends and using her discount to buy it "for herself" and then give it to her friends?

Nothing, that's completely within their rights as far as I'm aware.

What the fuck, it doesn't matter the amount. Theft is theft.

I love this loophole and if I ever have to work retail again, I'm doing this.

Criminal charges, buddy. Also, being blacklisted by other companies in the future.
