They don’t make an enquiry or spot checks unless it’s over £100. I have no idea how long the tills have been down. The last time I checked with my manager was 3 weeks ago when the tills were up. But thanks for your opinion.

Could you tell me where else this is posted? I wouldn’t want anyone to think that this is me and also a bit of a worry someone is impersonating me? Jesus. There’s a couple of ****ty managers but hoping they wouldn’t stoop that low? Could it just be coincidence? I’ve seen 3 other posts very similar to mine...

No not me! Where have you seen this???? If what is true?

Thank you. I think that sounds like the best plan myself. I think there’s a few ways they have breached their policies themselves in the way they have handled this situation so I do not think it’s best I attend. I feel as though my resignation email was received and they hand posted the letters as quickly as possible thereafter.

**update** I have just had 2 letter hand posted through my door dated yesterday. One states I have been suspended for suspicion of gross misconduct and one gives me the date of the meeting with a manager and a note taker which will take place tomorrow! It states I can have a colleague or Union Representative but then also states I am not allowed to set foot in store before the meeting or discuss this with any other colleagues. How am I supposed to contact the union rep then who works in bakery and who’s number I do not have? I have been given 24 hours to prepare with no representative. The letter also states that I moved cash between said till and and another till and that some was “concealed” on my person with the intention of stealing. Where do I stand with this??

Hi. I work for a well known supermarket chain (sainsburys) and yesterday was suspended on suspicion of theft. Basically we all break the rules a little in our store. I work on checkouts and often move change and monies about between tills when we aren’t really supposed to. I’m not the only one and the managers have observe this without saying anything. We also sometimes shortcut on refunds and if the screen freezes then I have to process the refund after the customer has gone. Th me issue is that there’s been till losses recently and earlier in the week there was a till loss of £100. When the managers then looked at the CCTV I was seen removing coins and notes from the till and placing some in my pocket as I normally do to carry money around the shop without the view of the customers. I did go straight to another till and put some in but as normally happens I had customers needing me and duties to fulfil and the money remained in my pocket until I put it in another till at some point. I can’t tenner where. During a shift we are constantly having to shuffle change about so it goes here there and everywhere but at the end of the week the tills usually balance and it’s no problem. But..apparently there was till loss last week and like I said during a spot check this one particular till was down and I was the only one seen going into it. So yesterday I was called into the office and questioned then told I was suspended with full pay pending an investigation into potential theft. I was told I’d receive a letter through the post with a date to come in for a meeting. There were two managers and I felt ambushed and very uncomfortable during this. I held my hands up to the fact I’d broken the rules moving money about but denied stealing/keeping any. Which I do deny. I have never taken any money home with me. I was escorted out of the store immediately and now I am sick with worry. Yes it looks bad. Yes I only have my word that it went into another till at some point. Yes the evidence is enough to reasonably suspect me of theft. But I didn’t do it. I was so upset I emailed my resignation straight away and sent it off in writing today along with my keys. Even if they were to let me keep my job, everyone in the store would know and I simply can’t continue to work there now. I cannot eat or sleep for worrying that the police will be knocking or I’ll end up with a criminal record, taken to court or go to prison. I am a single mum of 4 children with 2 still at home and feel I have lost everything! In my resignation letter I asked the store manager to please drop the matter as I am no longer in employment and suffer with anxiety and depression also. I apologised for my misconduct in working processes and denied again any theft. I just don’t know what to do and keep crying. I cannot afford a legal representative and am so scared the police are going to knock anytime. Has anyone else been through this or can advise me on what will happen. I imagine the amount is a few hundred quid at most over the past few weeks where the tills have been down. I wasn’t even aware they were until they told me!
