Back when I was younger man I would steal from my job.

Yes, it’s another one of these type confessions but I did and still do feel guilty for my actions. I used to be a shift manager at a fairly busy fast food restaurant. I would occasionally have to void transactions for one reason or another. At some point I realized I could hand out the food, void the transaction and pocket the money.

Because I was struggling to survive on barely minimum wage I used it as a way to help buy food, gas and sadly cigarettes. I knew it was wrong but felt it was my only option and I did it for close to a year.

How I was never caught is beyond me because you would think someone auditing would notice a large number of high dollar voided orders when I worked. Thankfully they didn’t as I don’t think I would have recovered from being arrested. Once I left that job I went to another job where I had access even larger amounts of cash. But because I was getting paid better and I knew I would absolutely be caught if I tried it there I never stole from them or any other employer or person, again.
