Snowman Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 "Prosecutors say 18-year old Brandon St****** stole more than $1800 while working at the Dippin' Dots stand." $1800 worth of crappy ice cream sold in 1 day? Geeez, I'm stunned that much is sold at one of those little carts. Now I know they can afford to rehab SOB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkroz Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'm surprised a single Dippin' Dots stand can amass $1,800 in a day, especially without making a deposit of some kind. That's a lot of money to have sitting in a little cart on wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 His reward is an all expense paid trip to a nice resort with free room, 3 meals a day, free medical care and a nice view of the country side and a room mate with a guy named Bubba, who also won the same prize! Oh yea, don't forget to take part in those free classes to further your education, as you didn't learn anything while in high school. But don't bend down in the shower to pick up the soap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 It is a little surprising that they didn`t do a "rob" on the food stand. I know at Coney, we will typically do a "rob" on the rides ticket booth, if they start approaching that much money, simply because we don`t want the employees to have that much cash under their control, in case someone were to attempt to steal money from them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74Gibson Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I would have never expected my new supervisor to notice 1800 missing on my first day. Not just immoral but publicly showing his idiocy at the se time... Quality! Congrats buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I mean, it's not like he tried to come back. Sounds like it was plan from the beginning to take all he could and scram. I hope that $1800 can sustain him, because I can't imagine he'll be getting a legitimate job for quite a long time... One stupid mistake and he's basically blacklisted, even from the most high-turnover places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 And he really thought he would get away with that much cash. No one would let him leave with a cash drawer that far off. So maybe he thought he had a good plan but it was doomed from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Normally, I'd point out an indictment is not evidence of guilt, that prosecutors SAY that this gentleman committed the crime, and that the gentleman is entitled to a presumption of innocence until proven guilty (or he pleads guilty). However, the gentleman doesn't make it easy by working a single day and not returning. Arguments such as mistake (by him or his supervisors), that he was set up, etc., are far more difficult under these circumstances. Plus, the park likely has video of the theft. Still, one must wonder, how DOES one get out of the park with $1800? Was there one or more accomplices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 When I worked at the park they warned that the security cameras could get so close they could tell what kind of shoes you were wearing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The only way for that guy to leave the park with that much cash is to remove it from the cash drawer and stash it in his pocket. As for having $1,800, his starting funds was around $500, which is supervisor collected from the cash room. As for having lots of cash at one time, it is collected several time during the day. Terpy is right as there would be video of him and he should had learned from other people that have got caught for these kind of crimes and they paid the price. It just does not pay, especially thinking he can take $1,800 and live like a king. It is one thing to be short by $18 on a till that has over $20,000 in receipts by just sloppy cash handling, but not that much. Now most likely, he will have a felony on his record if and when convicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd feel a hand in the front of the apron, and there was the boss, saying, "It's only me.", as he grabbed the money and stashed it. The boss hit some odd spots, at times.

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The ideal behind having some one from the cash room picking up the cash is two fold: Removing the cash taking all the room in the drawer and most important, removing all the cash and prevent shrinkage of all forms. By leaving all that cash and not having it deposited by the cash room invites problems just like this. When I was in admissions, we were always under surveillance and could not leave out register without securing the cash drawer. When we went on breaks, we were escorted by our supervisor and locked the drawer in a secured box. We would have our cash collected at least twice per shift, also we had none of our own personal funds on our body and our pants/shorts had NO pockets. Did this worker just walk off without being dismissed by his supervisor and recording his total sales vs cash on hand and balance out his till? Any way you look at it, he will never have any job prospects that require any sort of cash handling. That felony record will go with him through out his life.
