This week, the Quail wants to focus on truth and honesty and why it’s important.

The owners and managers hired you to do a specific job you agreed to and you should not take advantage of that. Your employer pays you an agreed-on wage and nothing else.

For example, if you work in a grocery store produce section, these items are mainly sold by weight. Did you realize, while you are wrapping up those items, let’s say grapes, and you eat a few while you are working, that is a form of theft?? If in stocking shelves, you come across a package that is damaged in shipping and you say to yourself, it’s damaged any way, I’ll sample what this tastes like. Yes, that can be considered theft.

If you run a cash register and, lets say, the total comes to $4.98. The shopper says keep the change and you do by putting it in your pocket. Yes, that’s theft.

This can get you fired and prosecuted, give you a record and poor reviews in looking for another job. And just for eating grapes, tasting something in a damaged box or pocketing a few pennies.

A SHORT UPDATE on Mark Wannamaker, the District 4 bus driver who was stabbed. He is out of a medically induced coma and I was told was talking with his doctors some. Please keep Mark in your prayers.

Till next week, fly safely, my friends.
