You have to be a freaking idiot to believe a phone call like that.

Don't hate idiots - they deserve 15per hour too - especially when out military sergeants make 11.

I wonder if the pranksters have seen the movie Hellfighters.

This could get interesting.

The manager should take it out of their wages until the damages are recovered.

Disagree. As much as I think the employees are idiots, things happen when you hire idiots. There's insurance to cover things like that. Employees are NOT subject to "you break it, you bought it."

I'd love to meet these employees and get a feel for their level of "common sense." I gotta admit I laughed like heck watching the video from the CA BK smashing the windows out.

I can't imagine any insurance company paying for damage deliberately done by employees.

It's under "idiot employee F-s up the works" clause.

Same as driving a fork lift off a dock or backing a truck thru a wall, etc.

Those are accidents;
Intentionally breaking windows is not.
I doubt it would be covered.
I once worked as an insurance agent.

ETA:
I just thought of something:
The insurance company could pay the damages, then pursue the idiot employees in court to recover the money under the principle of subrogation.

You may very well be correct. But I see the damage as not malicious on their part, just extremely ill-informed. I wonder if they wrote "gullible" on the ceiling before they fled.

With all that CO in there, that wouldn't have been very safe.

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

CO is heavier than air, so writing on the ceiling would probably be safer than seeing the writing on the wall.

You may be thinking of CO2, carbon dioxide. CO is actually slightly lighter than air, by 2-3%.

I like the initiative shown by the employee who rammed the building with his car. That's the go-getter attitude we want to see.
