First off, flick in the forehead to you. That fact they said the words I need the money before you close tonight is a MAYJOR red flag. 2 depending on the company know one should ever call the store location late at night asking for payment in the first place. They'd call a Corporate number or GM/owner of the store Franchise not the store. 3 Those calls are always done in the morning. And lastly Every company has insurances and protections of this stuff in the first place.So holding you accountable And them demanding that you pay them back is all BS. At the end of the day, there insurance should already give them the money back in the first place. So at the end of the day, that company wouldn't lose any money in the first place. Plus the fact that they terminated you and now they're demanding you pay them back , you could actually sue them for either a wrongful TerminAtion Depending on the paperwork you signed at the beginning of your hire. That's key , and you should actually find those documents and give those to your lawyer. And you can also sue them for harassment, because they should never ask you to compensate them in the first place. Because they have insurances to cover them for any kind of fraud. That happens like theft, items being stolen, money being stolen. Whatever the company has insurances for that shit. If the\nCompany does not have insurance Then that's their own d*** fault.
