Ford fired a $200,000-a-year employee over a $1.95 cookie he paid for.
Kurt Kromm, 11 years at the Kentucky Truck Plant, felt his blood sugar drop at 3:30 a.m. He's diabetic. The kiosk flashed red on his card, so he paid at the second machine, ate the cookie, went back to building trucks.
A week later security walked him out. Wouldn't even let him take his tools.
Then he pulled up his bank statement. The $1.95 charge was sitting right there. Ford checked with the kiosk company, confirmed he paid, cut him $28,000 in back pay, and begged him to come back.
He said no. Took a job closer to home with a raise.
So the final scorecard: Ford spent $28,000, lost an 11-year veteran, and took a national PR beating to recover a cookie that was never stolen. The cookie cost $1.95. Firing the guy who bought it cost 14,000 cookies.

D.C. will be hotter than 99 percent of the planet on Friday.
Only parts of Africa's Sahara Desert, the Middle East, China's Gobi Desert and a few spots in the Desert Southwest will be hotter.
@AmericanCrime01 I live in Katy, I think I'd file charges for Criminal Trespass, illegal search, and violating the guarantees provided under the U.S. Constitution against unlawful entry without a warrant depriving you the parent of your contstitutional rights. Good of them to provide evidence
Everybody looks good also because there’s one major factor: when you’re welcoming Black people to an event, you need to know how to light Black skin properly. The lighting, the brown backdrop, everything was designed to complement black skin.
This is so sad because whether or not we found it kinda goofy and performative, everything she did regarding what she was feeding her kids seemed like THE healthiest diet and lifestyle possible, just goes to show even if you avoid ALL the red 40 things like this can still happen
It WAS more affordable. Tickets didn’t expire so you could hoard them forever. Hotels got as low as $60 a night. The meal plan was a crazy deal. It was great and I mourn it
