Stephanie, a cashier at the supermarket Auchan Tourcoing, was fired in early July for having missed a can of tomato sauce for 85 cents.
It is an error to 85 cents ... but very expensive. July 9, Stephanie, a cashier at the supermarket Auchan City in Tourcoing, watched his screen six self-checkout. She says that without his knowledge, a customer has added a product to its articles without the scanner.
A can of tomato sauce. This product is a tin of tomato sauce for 85 cents. And it did not escape the store security service. Two days later, the cashier, shocked, will learn his dismissal. "I came back on Monday to 14 hours to go to work. At the entrance I was arrested, a security officer told me 'rest there, you have to go in the office of Eric" the chief the safety of the store, she says. His colleague then reads his letter of layoff. "How we can blame me? It's not possible!" She repeated, bewildered. What shocks Stephanie is "mostly 85 cents a can of tomato sauce. I would have missed a trick to 100 euros, yes. But 85 cents ..."
Pasta packets. The direction of Auchan, she assumes entirely his decision and even speaks of "theft". In addition to tomato sauce, she accuses its former employee for giving deliberately undue promotion to the client leaving him four packets of pasta for the price of two. For its part, Stephanie is determined to challenge his dismissal and is willing to go to the Labour Court.
