Finding a thief a job

My husband and I frequently get food from the local deli. It's owned by a very nice Korean woman. She told my husband a story yesterday I thought I would share. She had a woman in her mid 30's working for her for a few years. She said over a period of a few months she noticed money missing. It's a very small Deli, and she really doesn't make that much money, and she said she carefully counts the money/goes over receipts each evening. She fired the thief. ( she only had 1 woman working for her). She felt sorry for the woman, so her sister offered to help the woman find a job with the government. Her sister pulled some strings, and the woman started taking classes. She finished all the classes and was ready to start her 45,000.00 a year job. That's good money for someone with hardly any education and is a thief. She failed to do one thing. The notice came for her to go back. then, it came again. She had lost the job, over one thing.

drug test.

The Deli owner said she knew the woman was on drugs. It's a shame too. But, I believe it's a good thing she fired her when she did....things could have been worse, she could have stolen more money instead of just skimming off the top.
