I am sure I don't have a job, its that kind of environment.
I was a cashier at a mini mart, two teenage boys work in the deli section and we don't usually have a manager on duty. I am no more in charge of what they do, then they are of what I do.
Two of their friends came in last night and one came up with a case of beer, clearly underage. I checked ID and said no...
he put the beer back and said his buds dared him to do it.
Me.. thinking of beer, purchased some for myself and set the bag down, shortly after the boys went out, and when we are about to stop selling beer.
One of the deli teens came up and asked if I wanted the trash taken out by where I work.
I said yes. We got busy and I got going onto what I had to do to get things done to close.. We have a ton of paperwork to do at the end of the shift.
Long story short I forgot about the beer, and didn't even notice it missing until I got a phone message this morning from the manager.
I am guessing the deli teen grabbed the beer and put it in the trash and proceeded to give it to his buddy.
I am there for guilty of providing beer for a minor. In a round about way, and I didn't actually hand it to them, but I had a customer I had to ring up.
I think he must have seen the deli teen grab the beer. I assume he told the management.
I didn't even think about it, and the only thing I stressed on when I woke up was the fact I had some chicken in the deli that I had paid for and forgot to grab.
I know if I go into the office, as my manager said she wanted to see me, asap this morning... I will get fired, possibly fined, or they will tell me I and the mini mart are going to be fined.
Should I go to our local small town police. I live in a village w/ about 1100 people in it. The mini mart is the only local store.
I just don't know what to do.. although now I am looking for another job.
yeah me.
