A County Derry convenience store chain has been criticised after a copy of a store policy penalising shop staff in the event of 'drive-off' thefts from their forecourts was shared online.
Former employees of Kenny's Convenience Stores, who have stores in Garvagh, Kilrea, Magherafelt and Coleraine, have told the County Derry Post the policy has been in place as far back as 2012.
Photos from inside the company also revealed staff lists detailing how much each employee 'owes' as part of the policy are posted in communal staff areas each week.
