One mistake can end a career.
Walker Smith, 54, had worked for Waitrose, an upscale grocery store in Clapham, South London, for 17 years. Then a customer recently tried to steal an entire display of Lindt Gold Bunny Easter egg chocolates priced at $16 each.
Smith confronted the shoplifter. A scuffle ensued as he tried to stop the shoplifter from leaving, New York Post (NYP) reports. The thief got away but left the chocolates scattered on the floor.
Days later, the store’s management fired him for violating the policy of not confronting shoplifters for the employee’s safety. Fortunately, a rival grocery chain offered to hire Smith.
Meanwhile, workers of fastfood restaurant chain Chick-fil-A (CFA) recently posted a video of their dance moves on TikTok and it went viral.
More than 7.5-million TikTokers watched the March video showing eight CFA workers taking turns jiggling and shaking their chests to a mashup of “Wanna Mingle x Top of the Cars,” including a male staffer who turned around to twerk, NYP reports.
The Christian chicken chain’s bosses were not impressed with the cheeky dance moves, according to NYP.
All eight workers were fired on Sunday.
