checkin in

well i think i had one, anyways i got a job at arby's, been working there for the past week. doin damn good i'll say. my boss came up to me today and said his cash register was $44 dollars short. I know damn well that I didn't do any fucking thing to the money.
He know's my situation, that i'm in a homeless shelter, and knows i must need it or something. i've been broke as fuck all weekend, i have maybe $2 to my name, payday aint till friday.
been living fucking good off of my $200 foodstamps, buy all kinds of munchies n shit, been working and sofa surfing on a friends sofa for now. fucked up that work thinks i took the $. i was like "wtf i have no idea i know for sure i didn't mess up that bad", hell it was my first day on the cash register and not knowing to much shit, i may have fucked up and gave someone the wrong ammount of change back, i dunno. i know the shit didn't go into my pocket.
my boss told me that he wants to talk to me tommrow, i dunno what he's going to fucking say. he knows that people fucking like me at arby's, i talk to the customers, and whats fucked up is i know a few of em (there all in school n shit) and dunno weird not seeing someone for 8+ years. Don't know what my boss is going to do or say, hopefully he doesn't fire me, and just makes it clear or something to me.
Been playing my guitar down town 5points, making beer and weed money. got some clove cigarettes and vanilla dream cigar thi ngs. gonna hit up this store. so here i am at the library. waiting for this 5:30 pm meeting, getting kicked off the computer.
oh going to court sometime this week. gotta check when i go, for that loittering bullshit charge or whatever the shit is. maybe this friday ? 24th?
gonna save them payche checks, found a $93 bus ticket online for a bus trip out of here. going west, or something.
hopefully going to have over a hundred this time.
well will update later,

Good to hear from ya Drew! Keep on truckin man!

Heh, managers can be pretty paranoid with new people. Probably doubly so since he knows your homeless. Just keep your cool, and remind him that you didn't take anything. If it was your first time, it is definitely possible that you may have made enough small mistakes to be short that much.

I used to work at Starbucks, and was often short a good chunk. We had to 'drop' $20s or bigger, meaning that we put them in a separate, locked box. Well, sometimes I'd drop a 20 (or 2 or 3) in the wrong box over the course of a shift. Or it would get dropped behind the box rather than in. Or what have you. The thing is, a decent manager would tear the store apart before accusing an employee of stealing. A lazy manager wouldn't. Ya got to stick up for yourself, ya know?

Take care!
