I have a family member that is a little bit slow. They were pulled into the office and terminated yesterday, this is their statement as to what happened.
"I was pulled into the managers office regarding internal theft. The loss prevention guy named Chris he asked me if I had committed fraud on shop your way rewards before and I sad no and asked him what he was talking about.
He went to tell me about the cameras positioned on the registers and how it showed that I put my phone number in to get the points.
Back on 11/13/2010 there was a new game release called Call of Duty Black Ops when it released if you had a shop your way rewards card you got a bonus of 25000 points added to your card. To my knowledge at the time, there was no store policy stating that customers could not give employees their bonus points if they did not have an account, and did not want to create one.
After we talked about what happened, and I told him I did not remember if I had intentionally input my rewards information or it was mistake. He had me write a statement, I wrote one statement explaining I did not remember, and it might have been a simple mistake on my part and he said that was not good enough. I had to write another statement and he said the same thing. He said if he had to that he could call the cops and have escorted out by them, implying I would be arrested. I wrote the 3rd statement admitting to doing it, I felt like I was being co-herst into admitting I was committing internal theft even though it did not involve store property."
This was working for Sears Holding Company. Is it illegal not to accept you statement as to what happened, and then threaten to call the police and have to taken out, if you don't sign what they want? They had teenagers that got several hundred thousand reward points from that sale. Her's was just a single entry, and it was only after about a month of employment, and they made her supervisor of the electronics department. Does it sound like she may have a case against them?
