Sounds like he ate the evidence.

Yes, the delicious evidence

This is what cameras are for

Oh the joys of working in a restaurant.

Sorry, OP. some people can be dicks.

I'm imagining a sandwich all dressed up nice and fancy, when little did it know it was gonna be eaten that day...

Bow-tie & fame.

Oh the service industry and joy of catering to assholes! Good times.

I'm just wondering what type of person is actually cheap enough to avoid paying for a sandwich.

Mr. Krabs?

An idiot.

mean people who like to game the system

Apparently quite a few.
We had a man demand a refund for his sandwich cause apparently it had hair in it. He also apparently bought 3 but only brought 1 back so we only gave him the refund for the 1.
Later on, we realized he took it out of our cooler and then came to the till to complain so he never actually bought it (or the 2 others).

15 Nailed it

Do you work at Quiznos?

He's a thief op, don't worry tho, karma will come for him.

Are there no security cameras? And what did your manager have to say about this?

I don't know about your laws but in my country you don't have the right to use the cameras to prove your point, only the cops can. (I work in a clothes shop)
I don't think calling the cops for a sandwich is worth it...

That's the most ridiculous law I've heard of.

Yeah I agree, as much as the one that says you can't look in someone's bag if the person "rings" at the exit.

I hate people who do this
