(NC, USA) Question about giving a customer back too much money
First Update: my son (who is 18) talked to the GM today, as well as the other kid. The GM told them that he hadnt heard of this and would look into it. I'll update again if I hear anything
My son started working at McDonald's two days ago. On his second day, he was training at the drive through window, alongside another employee. I guess the training employee handed my son too much money to give back to the customer, to a total of 24$ extra. My son didn't count what he was given, so he says it's his fault.
The manager told my son and the training employee that they had to cover it. They each zelled the manager 12$.
Is that legal, or something McDonald's does? Ive never worked at a corporate place, but at the restaurant I work at, we would just eat the cost. Reprimand the employee, talk about what happened.
