to use and all that stuff so put yeah yeah just how did you guys find out that this been going on so we have like reports right that comes out every week um she started to flag on the reports okay so when someone FES high on we pretty much go in and start looking at her transactions to see why is she either too high or too low so watching video and seeing why she's fing that's when we noticed so it was her information was um was flagged in the weekly report and then they initiated an investigation and discovered that she's been um stealing from the conf correct so how did you find out about um on my office day we got a database and the database Flack people that are doing too many transaction voids okay so I look at her transaction void and for this area she was the highest one so too many voided transactions too many voided transactions on the the report okay the first one that I open just to verify I see what you saw and I W so I call a man and say am man sounds like we're going to have to do what did you see all the items being voided and the customer walking normally I mean we do voids hey I forgot my wallet and but the items are left behind so I see the boy and I see that the customer Che B is and the customer are like oh we got so you see the voice transaction and then the customer still work out with the merchandise she still bag it and still put it in the shopping cart and allow the customer to out that's what got the whole in St and approximately how many um transaction you think I will say cuz I know you guys going to provide to I will say and remember we have only research like two weeks she has been doing that since January okay and you got to remember you saw it three and four a day so it adds a big timeing you saw the amount of merchandise so me reviewing personal probably about 10 10 but so so you have with you at least 10 trans at least 10 trans and those are the ones that we're going to provide you that is on that list that Amanda has okay and she's going to provide it to the shareff office so basically um you um and one thing that you can put a note in there looking at the transaction void we noticed when we were looking at one transaction void we kept going watching the next customer and this is something that will never shop on a report and then we see a sale for 50 cents oh let's go watch that and then we see her scanning a lollipop and $150 going out so which she has nothing to do with what got me to her on the transaction voice so she was doing not only the transaction voice but she was what we call under the ringing
