Waffle House Robbed by Fake Employee

In the run up to the holidays at least one savvy shopper in Georgia came up with a unique way to fund her Christmas.  Two weeks ago today an obviously experienced waitress put on her uniform and reported to work at the local Waffle House near Riverdale, Georgia.  The only problem was that she was not an employee of that particular Waffle House.    The woman stepped into the busy establishment wearing the correct uniform and began slinging hash with the rest of the underpaid and overworked staff - and no one questioned her because everyone was busy.

The waitress worked for two hours without drawing any undue attention to herself before taking one hundred and thirty dollars from the register and leaving prior to the end of her shift.  She was caught on camera removing the cash, but the theft was not noticed by management until the next morning.

Police are searching for the desperado through Facebook.  They surmise that based on her uniform and the fact that she was skilled in the Waffle House serving routines, that she either is or has been an employee of Waffle House at some other location.

One hundred and thirty dollars plus tips certainly wouldn't buy much of a Christmas in today's world, but it probably helped.   The waitress put herself and possibly even family members at great risk for a paltry amount of money that might cover the cost of a decent Christmas meal.  How sad it is that she felt compelled to make that choice.

(Of course, since it was Riverdale, she might have been high on jingle-jangle!)

In America it is only the bosses of a company who may loot it with impunity.   All others are bound by the restraints of law - and accepted standards of ethical and moral behavior.
