Many know that I work at a bar. Well recently a close friend of mine had brought another friend down to the bar. Well my friends, friend is stealing money from people. Just blanetly stealing money off the bar from people. There have been several complaints, and I have seen it done once. I'm not real sure what I should do. I mean this girl has stolen tip money that was placed at the edge of the bar for me and my fellow bartender, has stolen money from patrons right in front of their face. Yet the bar has been able to catch anything on camera. I have warned my friend that her friend is being watched in this matter, but it still continues to happen. I don't want to be the bad person and throw her out of the bar, or tattle on her, but she is being a theif an that is just wrong. What would you do in this situation? I don't want to ruin my friendship with my friend, but I don't want the stealing to continue. What is your best solution to this problem? Sorry so confusing thanks for your repsonse!

Hi..
For me, what your friend had done is already wrong and you should be stopping her instead of allowing her to continue because even you had saw her doing it before. Let her know your stand and tell her that you will not hesitate to report to police if this continues. Even though you treasure the friendship, you must do this because it is for her own good and she need to stop doing it immediately.
This way, you will be helping her and it is for her to change, she might blame you now but in the future, she will be grateful to you.
However, if you let her continues and if one day she got caught by another person and that person wants to report her to the police, she might have a bad record or got sent to the prison and her future will be over.
Hence, my advice for you will be to warn her sternly and tell her to stop. If she does not take your advice, stop her from going to your bar as it is for her own good.
