Speaker 1

It's gonna be a dunkey because right now you want some, It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a doctor man with the.

Speaker 2

Heat, did she doesn't, I had become Donkey of the Day the breakfast Club.

Speaker 1

Bitch it Yes, donkey today for Tuesday.

Speaker 2

August first goes to a Lancaster County, Pennsylvania woman named Linda Johnson. Linda Johnson is a former general manager at the greatest fast food restaurant in regards the providing comfort, and that is Wendy's. Okay, Wendy's is the greatest of all time when it comes to providing comfort. I'm not here to argue with you all about none of this McDonald's, Chick fil A, all those places are cool, But when it comes to providing fantastic comfort food, nothing is better than Wendy's.

Speaker 1

Okay, this is not a commercial. I'm not being paid to say this.

Speaker 2

I just have very fond memories of Wendy's because when I used to drive my grandma in the town back in the day in Monks Corner, South Carolina, that's what she used to like to do, stop at Wendy's and she wanted her fries, and she wanted them hot. Okay, and Wendy's to this day still provide me that sense of comfort. Now Linda is facing a felony charge of theft by deception. Oh, she is the number one scammer. Okay, I can't lie to y'all. I love hearing about a

creative scam. There's a reason they call people scam artists, because a scam artist knows how to paint a pretty picture. They have to be creative artists in order to get you to do what it is they want you to do. And Linda has painted a pretty picture. She actually did one of the most creative scams I've seen in a long time. Would you like to know what Linda has done? Let's go to ABC News for the report.

Speaker 3

Police former general manager out of Wendy's and like Sir County, was found stealing from the store. According to an audit, Linda Johnson allegedly checked in and out as a fake employee for over a year from July twenty twenty one to April twenty twenty two. Offici will say that the theft amounted almost twenty thousand dollars. Documents from the investigation say that Johnson admitted to creating the fake employee and that the paychecks went to her cash app.

Speaker 2

Linda Johnson created a fake and play clocked in and out as a ghost employee and had the paychecks go to her bank account. And that's why she's getting donkey here to day to day. Why would you have these checks go to your account. You don't have a cousin, a friend, You couldn't open up an LLC. I'm not encouraging you to do the crime at all, but if you're going to do the crime, I mean, damn, If you're going to scam, the key.

Speaker 1

To scamming is not getting caught. Okay. The key to scamming is.

Speaker 2

To not have a paper or digital trail that leads right to you. Now, let me tell you my favorite part of this story.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 2

I was reading this when other managers were questioned about the worker okay, the ghost worker. Police said some could not remember working with them, while one manager reported that they met him once. Can we stop right here and play a game of guess.

Speaker 1

What race it is? Now?

Speaker 2

We're not playing a game against what race it is? For Linda Johnson. Okay, I don't care what race he is. I don't even know what race she is, but I want to know what race do y'all think this person was who just lied about meeting an employee who never existed. He said he met him one time. Let me repeat the story. Linda Johnson, general manager and Wendy's, created a ghost employee, an employee that never existed. She got about

twenty grands into her bank account. When other managers were questioned about the fake worker, they said they could not remember working with them, while one manager just one volunteered a lie and reported that they met this person that didn't exist once.

Speaker 1

Willie d guess what race it is?

Speaker 4

Oh man, that's hard.

Speaker 1

That sounds like it could be anybody, But it could be any race.

Speaker 2

But just say it, Willie. I know it's on the tip of your top. I know you don't want to do it, but no, you know.

Speaker 4

I'm just gonna say white, just because I blame everything.

Speaker 1

I'm envy. Linda Johnson created a fake worker at.

Speaker 2

Wendy's and collected twenty grand When other manager just a question about the fake worker, they said they could not remember working with them, while one volunteerer line and reported that they met this person that didn't exist once.

Speaker 1

Envy, guess what race it is?

Speaker 2

I know you want to say what Willy wanted to say, but Willy didn't want to say it.

Speaker 1

We don't know the name of it. Say it Asian.

Speaker 4

It's the black man looking out for the black sister. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2

See see see I get why we we feel that way over when you think about all the times white people have made up mysterious black figures to pen crimes on Okay, and in light of Calie Russell lying about seeing that baby on the side of the highway, you know, I can understand why even we would even think it was black.

Speaker 1

I don't know what race this person is, but I feel like this was one of us.

Speaker 2

Okay, because we why do we like to lie for no damn reason at all?

Speaker 1

We tell each other we five minutes away, when we haven't.

Speaker 2

Even gotten in the shower yet, We pick up the phone and tell each other we're gonna call you right back, and going, damn well, you're not gonna call back into you.

Speaker 1

Remember.

Speaker 2

A week later, we tell each other, hey, man, we need to connect. Let's go do lunch or something.

Speaker 1

Knowing damn well, we have no plans to do none of that.

Speaker 2

Why do you know I do this for people on purpose? I do this in conversation sometime. I just be talking, right, I just want to see how full of cock out somebody is. Right, I'll be talking. I'd be like, you know.

Speaker 1

Ricky right, knowing damn well, Ricky don't exist, and we be quick to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know Ricky. I know Ricky. I was just with him last week.

Speaker 2

God damn Rooky, you know, damn well, you never met this person once, because this person doesn't exist. But for whatever reason, you just decided to tell the powers that be at Wendy's you met this person once. You putting yourself into a situation, making yourself a witness to something that Linda already admitted the police she did. She said during a video call in April that she created the employee and had to paycheck set up to go to

her cash AF account. If it was me, not only would I fire Linda, I would fire this co worker who decided to lie for no damn reason.

Speaker 1

You're not welcome here.

Speaker 2

You can't be trusted because I was always taught if you lie, you will steal, and the fine folks that Wendy's ain't got no time for no more thieves.
