2 Q. So in the last year you have not dismissed any

7 Q. In the last year at the store have you dismissed any
8 non-probationers?
9 A. Yes.
10
11 Q. You have?
12 A. Yes.
13
14 Q. Right. So there was half a dozen of them -- that is what
15 you said yesterday.
16 A. No. The figure goes up and down. There is about,
17 I should imagine there is about six or seven probation --
18 people that have failed their probation review. I should
19 also imagine, perhaps, there is more than that, may be six
20 or eight that have been dismissed for other reasons. We
21 dismissed four in one particular incident so .....
22
23 Q. Was that while Mr. Logan was still working at the store?
24 A. No, because Mr. Logan finished on 9th November 1994.

27 rather than just one at a time?
28 A. The four people that were dismissed were dismissed for

36 Q. All four of them?
37 A. Two of them forced his locker open and then went
38 downstairs and carried on working the shift. It was
39 discovered that they had forced his locker open. They
40 admitted forcing his locker open. They admitted to forcing
41 his locker open whilst they were being interviewed about
42 giving away food to two of their friends.
43
44 Q. So the other two were just done for giving away food?
45 A. No. The two that broke into the locker were dismissed
46 for -- they were actually dismissed for giving away food,
47 but whilst they were being interviewed for giving away food
48 to their two friends who were also dismissed for receiving
49 stolen food -----
50
51 Q. So they also worked for McDonald's, the friends they were
52 giving the food to?
53 A. That is right. Whilst they were being interviewed for
54 that, they admitted breaking into the locker of a crew
55 member earlier on in the day. That information was passed
56 to the Police who acted subsequently.
57
58 Q. The two who were receiving the stolen food, that was all
59 they were dismissed for?
60 A. They were dismissed for receiving stolen food, that is
