For one thing the managers of sandwich shops rarely run off with the nights earnings! Not that uncommon in bar operations. Unless they operate out of an open till, a sandwich shop has every transaction monitored by the register. A bar has lots of cash floating around.
Never heard of that happening at a bar....You realize people don't use much cash anymore...You need to get with times...But none of this is has anything to do with the thread which is someone stealing money that does not belong to him.... |

Cash, tips, overcharges, stolen credit numbers. I'm not too far off base. So many ways to steal. Cash is still the medium that talks. There is a reason that managers of bars change often.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Especially when the sandwich shop reports to a franchise owner that takes care of payroll, tax reporting both payroll and sales tax, and reports to a corporate office that makes sure that franchise owners are operating their stores properly and steps in quickly if things are not done right.
Blue Ox is the same type of operation as a franchise. |

We have 15 drivers drivers at one location riding around with money at lunch just like a bartender at night... |

Anyway, I'll remove myself from the thread. I think it's pitiful there isn't more accountability at city hall and people aren't outraged by this. Cross you T's and dot your I's if you want to hold public office.

Sounds like this is a bad case of absentee management. Focus, focus, focus.... |

Blake is way to smart to do anything like this purposefully. He has a management problem that he overlooked and now he has owned up to it and will rectify it.

I will be slow to pass judgement on this.
I don't view Blake as a businessman, even though I was a customer of his pizza long before most of you ever met him. I now see him as a councilor, fighting fights I generally agree with.
I wish him the best.

I see merit to both of these points of view. I can separate his position as a politician from his position as a business owner. Small businesses face these issues all the time, this one is only in the headlines because he's a City Councilor. I don't think running perfect businesses is a requirement to serve as City Council, so a recall is largely a proposal from people who already hated him. However, sales tax remittances are a big friggin deal and are different than other tax issues. It can lead to personal liability in some cases and sometimes are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. So it's not as minor a deal as a bookkeeping error that resulted in a slight underpayment of business tax. The reports say that he's reached an agreement with the OTC to make this right, so as long as he follows through, I don't see how it affects his position as a City Councilor. I worry, though, about the viability of his businesses which seem to be successful. I'd hate to lose those businesses and what they've done for downtown. |

The docket or document? If the suit was filed today, it won't be on the docket yet. Subscribe to the Frontier or buy the story for $5, the entire 50+ page suit is posted there. I've managed to read about 1/3 of it so far. The Frontier also does a pretty good summary of all the issues with the businesses but the suit lays out a lot of the financial transactions according to the plaintiffs accounting of it. Pretty damning stuff, if it's true. /edit, just noticed that KOTV published the complaint in it's entirety. |
