not exactly chicken feed


I don't even know why I started calling it the dreaded Wings, except that if they didn't have the Sunday Ticket I'd never go there, not being a 25 year old guy and all; it's kinda like Hardee's in that way. But they do, so I've spent my share of Sunday afternoons in the local Buffalo Wild Wings, and thus this item caught my attention--and for someone that moniker might finally fit:

Former manager charged in theft
$19,764 stolen from Buffalo Wild Wings


A former manager for the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant on Troy Road was arrested Thursday in Missouri on charges that he stole $19,764 over a five-month period.

Jacob Hall, 24, of Florissant, Mo., has been charged by Madison County State's Attorney Bill Mudge with felony theft over $10,000.

Authorities issued a warrant for Hall's arrest on Tuesday. He was taken into custody without incident Thursday morning in Florissant by Edwardsville and Florissant police, according to a news release from Edwardsville Police Chief James Bedell.

Hall is being held pending extradition to the Madison County Jail.

The investigation began in April after store officials discovered irregularities in their computer records, said Stephanee Smith, a spokesman for Mudge's office.

The alleged thefts occurred between December 1, 2006 and April 30, 2007.

The investigation determined that Hall had been voiding transactions and pocketing the money, Smith said. Hall "stole various amounts of cash each day he worked from cash receipts of the restaurant," according to Edwardsville police.

The restaurant fired Hall soon after the discrepancies were discovered.

None of the money has been returned, Smith said.

Oh, dude. This was well before football season, so I have no idea who this guy is, but I wonder if his manager is still employed because I can't decide which is more stupid-- that he took what comes out to more than a hundred bucks every single day, or that it took somebody more than five months to figure it out!
