Marissa Holcomb, a pregnant woman (with four other children at home), was fired for not paying back money that was taken from her register at Popeyes. In other words, she was fired for not paying back the company she works for when a complete stranger robbed her.
This from Huffington Post. Let's be clear...the title is click bait. It boils the blood and everyone reacts. That's what we've reduced ourselves to. And to be honest, I understand. You may not have read my blog had it not been for the title. BUT, I try my damndest to give you what the title says. I think they purposely did this to anger us up. That's not news. That's being a bunch of fucking assholes.
The real story is that she was never given the option to pay back the store. She was fired for too much in the cash register. An amount designated (for those who've ever worked fast food) as the set to make change, if need be. She let it get too high. Was it her fault? Nope. We can assume by the story (if you've read that far) that it was busy and she didn't have time to make deposit.
Now they twist the story to suit the public outrage. Single mother of four with one on the way, gets fired. OH NO...wait right there, not only did she get fired, they demanded she pay them back the money lost. Right, HuffPo. You fuckin'' dinks never fill in the gaps. Where the fuck is the accountability these days? Same with that asshole who tried to corner Robert Downey Jr. about his past. He was there to promote a movie, then it segued into diving into RDJ's history. Who fucking cares anymore? And what did it have to do with the new "Avengers" movie. Not relevant, but a dickhead trying to get heat to his nobody program. This idiot never thought for a second that he'll never tap another celebrity again.
Misleading Headlines are the thing. I really miss journalism.
