Yeah, he has also been on the Blue Collar Comedy tour with Jeff Foxworthy.

Nanticoke is a nice area, I've been around there a few times. Maybe the Womand is trying to frame her manager to drag her into what she was doing or to get a lighter punishment. The fact that $800 of tickets returned $400 should tell you something about who's really robbing who.

No that is stupid and if the shift manager told her that, then she needs to be fired, too.
