The next day when he came in, he was pulled into the office with the head chef and general manager and was promptly fired for theft, and naturally, the sous chef denied giving him permission. Coupled with witness statements that placed him walking out with three cheesecakes, he had absolutely no recourse. I’d had a serious wreck in bad weather during rush hour (completely my fault), but it took my insurance company a few weeks to decide but they were going to total out my car. I suspected that this would be coming, so I began an extensive comparison of different vehicles that I might like to buy. It came down to a choice between a Nissan Altima and a Chevy Malibu. I liked both of them, but I decided to go with the Altima because the sales manager for the dealership was a former student of mine. Given the choice, I always want to do right by my kids, no matter how long ago I taught them.
