How about a hot dog?

I have no doubt that the relationship started out with the simple question of “how about a hot dog?”

Like all unfortunate circumstances what started out as a simple working relationship between a hot dog vendor in our parking lot and a store employee quickly went south.

The employee would go out on his lunch breaks and grab a bite to eat and a little small talk with the vendor. Over time they got to know each other a little bit better and would talk about families and how their workdays were going.

Eventually the vendor would give out some free food to this employee as their relationship turned to friendship.

It wasn’t long after that the vendor started to talk about getting some things for free back from the employee. This was the beginning of a very serious case of employee theft.

It started out small enough, the employee passed off some screws and adhesive to help the vendor fix something broken in his hot dog cart. Over the next few months, the employee theft grew to include some power tools and other expensive store items.

When we conducted the interview, the employee stated how he never intended to be caught up in an employee theft situation. He was feeling obligated to his new friend to help him out and the items started to get out of control with cost and frequency.

A small part of the employee was glad he had been caught because he now had a way out of the situation.
