It would be awesome if someone could track down the clerk and give him a better job. What also sucks is that if he violated a company policy, he was fired for cause and won't likely be eligible for unemployment benefits.
Quick story....
10+/- year employee of a grocery store starts getting sweethearted buy clerks at the in-store Starbucks, over a period of a year or so. LP sits down and pours through surveillance tapes. Evidence is found, between register and video the employee had pilfered in the neighborhood of $1500.00+/- worth of fancy drinks. Employee is fired. Employee fights unemployment benefit denial. Employee, eventually, wins unemployment benefits.
Don't bet he won't get bennies. Difference is, this guy probably deserves the benefits.
