Wells Fargo fires employee for 1972 shoplifting conviction! The banksters can kiss my ass!

7. Stupid teen/early twenties type youth action gets you fired 40 years later?

She's a totally different person than she was at 17-something to 20-something. And with a name like Quesada, she could have been charged with shoplifting for any reason at that time - Minority employees were regularly charged with theft or with shoplifting without an investigation if the cash register drawer or inventory came up short up through the 1980's - I had a black classmate who was fired from her student job at a local five and dime chain for theft/embezzlement when the drawer she and three other employees had been working came up short in 1979. Charges were filed, but later dropped very quickly when her parents hired a lawyer instead of letting her plead guilty or go through a public defender.

We heard through the grapevine through another friend who worked there that particular cash register still had a tendency to come up short $10 or $20 a week even after Pat was fired. Almost a year later, a nice white lady who had worked there forever suddenly decided it was time to retire early, and the loss at that register stopped.
