text: Sounds like the regional manager is trying to cover her mistake in hiring the guy.  Report it and report the theft.  If he saw the kid take the money then that is all the proof he needs.  She must have told him that he would get fired.  Some companies expect loyalty from employees though and if thefts are occuring on a shift they DO fire everyone for not watching out for the thefts.  The company can hire and fire anyone they wish.  In this case he was watching out for thefts and caught the kid, what else would a company ask from a manager/employee?
