The Geek Squad had better lose. I really hope they lose some business. That's bad for the customer to lose their laptops for them.

It's called employee theft. Happens all the time in businesses.

True. Stupidity in that they just didn't pay her what she wanted to begin with.

But, you can't watch all your employees all the time THEFT happens. I guess the punishment should be cutting a hand off, but, that is probably against the law
