Looks like member of staff was talking nonsense - opening times are the same tomorrow as any other weekday - 10-21.00.

Evening peeps.
Bloody fuming!!!
I hope someone can help.
My stepson has been working for co=op for 18 months and has worked his way up to assistant manager. He is a good worker, taking on any job needed when other people are off, he'll go in. He has sometimes worked 80 hr a week shifts. He's the most honest and reliable guy I know.
Last week he had to be in the store at 6am, after a night drinking!
Store opens at 7am and he felt thirsty, so grabbed a bottle of 45p water, but as thr till dosen't open until 7am, couldn't put it through.
As I said, He's an assistant manager, so he had do all the delivery things, staff changes and all the other stuff that come with running a store.
Fast forward 1 day,He's been dismissed, An SA apparently was looking through the CCTV and found that my stepson hadn't paid for the bottle of water.
He the most honest bloke I know, so this was an oversight as he was so busy.
1. Is an SA allowed to look at CCTV when on their break or at anytime?
2. They also went over the manager but instead went to head office.
3. He has been the most respected in store and his store is making the most profit in th SW.
He has lost his job over a 45p bottle of water!!
Do you think this is right??
He's been dismissed!!!0 -

Sorry to hear this scamps:o
I think it seems odd that a SA would look at CCTV and locate the exact time when your stepson took the water and then continue to watch it to check whether he paid or not. Are you sure there's nothing personal between them.....a grudge maybe?
Is there something more to this scamps that you are not aware of?

I think he should appeal as the store couldn't take payment but it was a health issue...he might have passed out without a drink.
He only took water so it would be a valid arguement.......
It smacks of a vendetta (which should be mentioned), keep us posted xxx.0
