she may have gotten away with it if she wasn’t so darn greedy!

*She didn't try to be discreet, put it up for a rainy day, pay for school or anything that would actually benefit her future. Throw the book at her for stupidity*

8 transactions totaling up to a half-a-million dollars on one credit card. Come on who would not catch that. They should investigate and find out how many other stores she worked at before this one.

Retail Managers and store owners live and die by the daily sales numbers. I do not understand why this was not caught immediately. She really did not think this through too well though.

Just do the right thing.

And she’ll still play victim and get off light.

Stamp it.

Her dad must be quite upset, wherever he is.

Why would you think you could get away with this? I am not saying it's right to steal but you got a lot of money for a few weeks, you bought stuff and then what?

[SteveSmith-ebze]

The most shocking part is that she had a job.

[ezragonzalez]

these stores sell 10 -$50 items she had 8 transactions totalling over $550K wtf and the last one $1 million both store management and her are total morons! who the f thinks for a second they can get away with stealing over $500k and be so brazzen about it!

[pytube]

She’ll be hired by another retail store as security consultant. 😂

[mopes]

What was going through her mind?? So when the store owner and manager finally caught on to what she was doing, what did she plan on doing next??

[JK-lpuw]

$1000.00 bond. LMAO what's wrong with this picture?

[SteveSmith-ebze]

She is sorry for what she did? Of course she is…she got caught.

[benjaminrodriguez]

$35 grand for a Tesla? I thought that they costed way more than that. Was it a used one?

[josephlieberman]

lack of swift and harsh justice welcomes or invites the crimes which quickly impoverish individuals and if not dealt with, entire communities.

[PrimePrime-gzhd]

She would have gotten away with it if she wasn't so fucking greedy 😂

[nallie]

I still don't understand how she was able to overcharge a customer to begin with. you can't run a credit card transaction for a million dollars. most limits are 5-10 grand.

[missy]

Sounds like she'd make a great mayor in Baltimore!

Just goes to show having a college education does not make you smart

[danieldixon]

Oh my she putting her College Education to work. Blessed Her. And her wonderful Family
