Marissa Holcomb was held at gunpoint late last month in an armed robbery at a Popeyes in Channelview, Texas.
Then, she was fired.
The shift manager -- who is five months pregnant -- says she was reprimanded because she refused to pay back $400 that the gunman got away with, according to KHOU.
"I told them I'm not paying nothing," Holcomb told the station. "I just had a gun to me. I'm not paying the money.
Thats is pretty standard. Thats the way all of these scum bucket chains work. They steal from employees, and if the employees don't give them the money, they fire them.
I have had lots of pizza delivery jobs that would fire drivers, if they don't repay any stollen money. Here is an example. As if getting robbed isn't bad enough, the employees get robbed again by the company.
Lawyers will be chomping at the bit to take on her case. It's a no brainier and a winner.
Texas like so many other states is an at hired at will state which means a company doesn't need a reason to fire an employee, as a result there are no bits for a lawyer to chomp at.
Popeyes attempting to rectify pregnant manager's firing
CHANNELVIEW, Texas – The pregnant Popeyes manager, who was fired less than 36 hours after a robbery, has been offered her job back.
Marissa Holcomb, who is a mother of three with a fourth child on the way, had a meeting with Z & H Foods owner Amin Dhanani on Wednesday, a day after our original story aired of her firing.
"He just apologized and pretty much offered me if I wanted to go back to his business and work there again," she said.

Holcomb is not only being offered her old position, but $2,000 in back pay. For the pregnant mother of three, the decision is tough.
"I do need a way to support my kids," she says. "I don't want to go back to a business where I'm treated the same and I just get pushed back out if something else happened."
I read this story earlier. How is she supposed to do a drop in the middle of a rush? And then after a robbery ask for her to pay that money back as if it was her fault they were robbed?
I would not take the job back and I would see what an attorney has to say. I think Popeyes will be paying her more than just back pay.

She lets the employees handle the rush for the less than 5 minutes it takes to make a drop.
I used to handle more than $1000,000.00 cash daily as one of the managers of a truck stop and no matter how busy we were those drops got made when they were supposed to be made.

Yeah ok but it's still not right. Unless she was masterminding the robbery why should she be stuck paying for some jerk loser robbing the joint. I can see if she was absentminded and lost the money.
It's part of doing business. If a bank gets robbed they aren't gonna take it out of the tellers check.
It would be like somene car jacking my work truck and my company expecting me to pay for it. You got insurance. And I bet Popeyes is insured for robbery.
