Area manager Karina Moon, who was the disciplinary officer, told the hearing that he had been inconsistent in his explanation of whether he had intended to purchase the water or get it written off, and he had not explained why he had not gone to get tap water instead of drinking the multi-pack bottle.

Because if I can’t get it written off, then I’ll pay, you dolt!

The rest of the article is equally deliberate ignorance on management’s part. Now they will hire some new person at a lower wage who’s terrified of mistakes.
