Four saleswomen at a Tea supermarket in Djakovo in eastern Croatia have to pay for the 3,800 kunas (519 Euros) stolen by an armed robber on 12 January.

The daily 24 sata has reported that market owner Bozo Omazic told the employees they each needed to pay 950 kunas (139 Euros) and to provide written confirmation of having done so.

Omazic said the employees were responsible for the stolen money because they had ignored his repeated warnings to keep a minimum amount of money in the cash desk.

Hmm. Then maybe the CEO's of failing companies should be required to pay for their bad decisions as well. "Bye Bye Bonus...Hello Penalty".

Seems fair to me, dammit. A minimum wage worker has to pay when she's robbed by an ARMED robber?.

Either pay the insurance premiums or give me your address, Mr Store owner. I really don't have any contacts in Croatia, but with a lucrative thing like a greedy butthole address, I bet I can get a few hundred friends.

time to thank GOD for being in the United States (now the political correct thing to say-I do know lots of different people from different places ,do not cause others to suffer, for what they can not control)

    I bet they will leave him in the lurch and he will not be able to get employees when this story gets out. The employer should be happy no one got hurt or killed. Sounds like the modern day CEO's. Grabby,greedy, and would be a total failure if it wasn't for his devout employees which receive chickenfeed.

    Yep! For people who get robbed, they shouldn't have to pay anything. The clerks are the victims, twice. First,a crook robs them. Then the manager robs them by telling them they have to repay the money. Doesn't this store owner have insurance. Oh, yeah. He warned them to keep only minimal money in the till. The crook still would have taken the money. Would the clerks still have to repay it? This store owner must have gotten his idea of doing this from our government. The ceo's of companies here run the business into the ground, collect their wages of sin and then ask the Feds to bail them out. That means we get robbed twice as well. First, our money was in that firm that lost everything. Second, our money was used to bail them out. Third, we were taxed twice to pay for the money lost and used for bailout. Wouldn't that be great legislation? Any company that loses out because of ceo mismanagement, make the ceo pay back the money out of his pocket. That would be justice.
