Your assessment of the situation sounds correct. JMHO - the bank didn’t have to fire her, but someone could’ve had a long talk with her.
When I was young, I worked in an office at a museum for a short time. One day, a lady walked in and said a lost kitten was in the parking lot. She asked for an empty box. I started to look around for a box, but a coworker jumped in and told her we couldn’t give her one. After the lady left, that employee had a little talk with me: “This is a museum filled with valuable artifacts. Were you going to give her a BOX?” lol
With that said, I do believe there was a lost kitten in the parking lot. I also came across a lost kitten in a parking lot around that time. I don’t know why people were abandoning kittens in parking lots, but it was actually pretty common. That didn’t matter, though, just like it doesn’t matter that the man in the story really was broke.
The man needs to get a credit or debit card....or both...
The cash was probably available if he had a debit card...they work all year around...
Who ever fired her should be fired..she right to not want to work for them..
I worked construction for forty years...the best thing if the superintendent was an ass...you could find another job and quit...
