You don't know if he didn't pay for it.
I've been setupon by power hungry petty managers before. They can be very disrespectful and try their best to humiliate you in front of others. Because they think they have the power.
And all for about $2.50.
This is not a serious crime.
The guy probably spent a lot on pizza and drinks for his family and may not have been his only time at the place so in proper context even if he did forget to pay for salad one time so what. Give the customer the benefit of the doubt.
The manager had no proof the guy didn't pay. Not saving a reciept for salad is not a crime.
" Not saving a reciept for salad is not a crime."
It is to this bozo!!
I think stealing is a serious crime.

No one is saying it is. However everyone is responsible for the repercussions of their actions. And, if you can’t be bothered with a tiny slip of paper, them you may end up with a small problem. Which apparently, with a little effort, you can parlay into a big problem
