If you think of being a manager as an actual job (in this case it seems like it isn’t since they had the time to waste on this bullshit) then the money spent paying the manager’s wages vs the amount of money “stolen” by the employee must lead us to the conclusion that the manager position should be abolished and the worker should be allowed to steal product as they wish. Just from a penny pinching ghoul capitalist perspective. It’s literally cheaper.
Yes they can, making an example out of workers is much more important than a few hours of the manager’s wages. The more trivial the case, in some ways, the better. The reward is not the 17p bottle of water, it’s having your workers terrified for their livelihood at all times.

If you see the objective as efficiency, you will misunderstand it.
If you see the objective as labor discipline and reification of class divisions and other social hierarchies, you will have a more accurate model.
