Indeed, another mark in the ‘why we need unions’ tally book. Sorry to hear about your sister, \*\* cuauhtemoc\*\*; my take on it is A) they’re assholes B) someone was shorting the till C) the economy is worse than normal and they’re looking to dump headcount and D) they had it in for her.

But mostly option A, from the sounds of it.

I too would really like to know what she had to gain by signing the paper? I can totally understand the intimidation thing, but they had to be offering something in return or else I would think she would have walked straight outta there.

Maybe you could ask her for some more specifics?

From the OP, Macy’s told her that if she signed they wouldn’t prosecute her. Prosecute for what? I assume for theft. One thing seems pretty clear to me, Macy’s thought that Sis stole $150. They don’t just fine people.

I am sure that the OP is telling the truth, by the way. I am not so sure that the OP’s sister is telling the whole truth to her family. If it wasn’t for the $150 fine thing I’d be right along with you all saying what a bunch of assholes the managers were. It’s the “fine” that signals to me that there is more to the story.

If I knew I was innocent of stealing $150, I’d be happy to have the police called in to investigate. I’d suffer that before admitting guilt falsely.

I’m wondering what the hell a "Registered User’ is. I thought it was Guest, Member, Charter Member or some custom title. This person **Spooky** hasn’t been around in a loooooong time.
