What would you do if you found a designer bag worth thousands of dollars at a thrift store? A 19-year-old thrift store employee found herself in this exact situation and couldn't believe her luck. Despite the store's policy that employees cannot purchase items labeled with the current week's color, the employee decided to wait until the bag was no longer restricted and bought it for herself. However, when her boss found out, he asked her to return the bag so they could sell it at a much higher price. The employee refused, citing the store's policy, and now she's wondering if she's in the wrong. Her coworkers and managers are giving her a hard time, but was she acting inappropriately? Share your thoughts and let us know if you think she's the a**hole or not.
