Good deed gets Nova Scotia fast food worker fired

DARTMOUTH, N.S. -

Doing a good deed for neighbours in need seems to have cost a Dartmouth, Nova Scotia woman her job.
CTV reports it began last week with a fire in Heidi Heise's apartment building. Her unit escaped the flames, but some others weren't as lucky.
When Heidi learned two neighbours had been left homeless, and had no food or money, she let them stay at her place. And when they stopped by the Subway restaurant where she works to thank her for her generosity, Heise gave them two six inch subs to ease their hunger.
But when Heidi went to work Wednesday, she was told she was fired. The boss said it was because she'd been caught on camera giving away the two little subs.
Subway staff are entitled a free 12 inch sub, but they must record it as a staff lunch. Heidi says she forgot to write it down because she had so many other things on her mind.
So now a disillusioned Heidi is looking for a new job, the people she housed and fed are devastated and Heidi's landlord is outraged. Subway head office in Winnipeg wasn't returning the landlord's calls Wednesday.

    If she had paid for the sub it would be a good deed. If she gave them a sub that wasn't hers,
    it's theft.

    I would encourage everyone to email Subway advising them of your intention to boycott all Subway locations until this matter has been resolved. You may also wish to inform them that you've sent a broadcast email to family & friends advising them to do the same.

    I've just sent my email. C'mon people!

    You have got to be kidding me. 2 Subway six inchers cost about 15 bucks, not 6 as stated. Either way, compassion is not a crime, but stupidity and greed certainly should be. I urge everyone to send a message to these folks, you treat your employees like this for 2 sandwiches, you will lose a lot more than 2 sandwiches revenue when the general public finds out Hopefully Jared disowns you!!!

    really, people go out of there way to help someone in need and they get fired, come on people, WORST case the manager could have spoken to the employee and told her it was a nice jester but its not approperite to give away free food to people, but to fire her is outrageous

    I have the utmost respect for her and that she did it her way and not the SUBWAY .

    Subway should penalize the franchise owner for misconduct and unacceptable treatment of an employee.

    He may have a different approach next time.

    Judging from the outside looking in, huge applause for the young lady for helping her fellow man. Subway missed the boat on this event (although, I can see what they would have thought as caught on the instore camera) and should have done some investigation into the matter prior to the knee-jerk reaction of letting the working go.

    Good on the young lady and shame on Subway.

    Well now, and isn't the company called Subway going to get the Humanitarian Award of the Century........ NOT. If Subway is looking for publicity, i strongly suggest to the Head Office that THIS is NOT the way to go about making NATIONAL Headlines. Doesn't exactly give you a warm, fuzzy feeling about ever purchasing ANYTHING from Subway ever again, DOES it?

    Heidi, you are to be commended, for your actions, and acts of compassion. Subway, YOU have no fears of ever being commended. Condemned, perhaps, for your incredible show of BAD judgement, but NOT commended.

    I USED to buy subs at Subway....but never again, after reading the likes of that. What a truly disgusting thing for that store to have done, considering the circumstances. ABsolutely incredible.......

    Subway could have had a great PR story on their hands.

    Instead, a commy boss has turned Subway into a fear mongering, inform on your employees, cover your hides, sell your co-workers, anything else we'll burn you at the steak.

    I think I'll start looking elsewhere for lunches.

    I'm sure given the opportunity, Subway would have been generous but stealing is stealing. There was a better way!!

    You know you've hit rock bottom when you've been fired from Subway. I guess she can kiss that college degree goodbye. While policy may be policy, any store operator/manager/franchisee with any common sense would have perfectly understood the situation and okayed the free meal. My thoughts are this was a problem employee with a manager looking for a reason to fire her, and this was the break he needed. Still, it will be a PR nightmare for Subway and the employee in question is probably already working the cash at Wal-Mart.

    Well, if she did technically steal it, ie. gave it away and didn't record it, well, she should have been told about it....maybe not fired but at least reminded of the policy. There is probably alot more to this story I'm betting.

    I'm not surprised at all by Subway. I have been boycotting them for over 5 years now - not one bite have I had. My situation was all over 2 12 subs also - they way the treated me was unacceptable for a loyal customer that I WAS. I even went so far to bring my case to their head office who told me each store has there own policies, they are franchise and the head office has nothing to do with the individual stores way of doing business. Bull Crap I say - if that's the case then they need to haul down the Subway sign! No arguement from me to not eat there again. This day & age there are a tonne of options for healthier fast food. You don't need Subway!

    Each location is owned by an individual Franchisee (operator). Blaming the entire franchise and other franchisees is not going to help this situation.
    I feel Heidi should have asked first, however I don't know the entire story, neither do you. Her file could have been full of misconduct for all we know!
    Theft is theft. What if she took money from your wallet for them? Would you not say Why did you not just ask me first ?

    To wild Rose and Marty Langer:

    It is amazing how some people will take any situation and turn it in to a bad rap that all of canada should suffer. Well I was taught to help my neighbour so thanks to that employee for her good deed , yes she had a slip of mind, but we all do that, from time to time. Subway Manager was probabley a US transplant with no manners or thought for anything but the bottom line. I will never eat at subway again and I am sure that there are those out there that will fell the same way.

    Give me air! Subway should be honouring this lady. We are all human an d can forget things. Did you see her take a second 12 sub that day?! All you had to do was ask her about it and any human with a brain could figure it out and a compassionate being would have a heart. I get the whole employee theft thing and how it affects the bottom line so no need to preach about that but clearly this woman was acting under other direction than self-fulfilling greed. Get real. That is the problem with some people in this world. There are too many black and white thinkers! Find the gray area with your grey matter! Think outside the box. Subway should be doing far more for their community but instead they threw it into further chaos... Way to go! We buy 3 to 4 meals a week for 3 people at Subway. Well, that will not happen for some time now. Give this woman her job back and apologize publicly and perhaps I will reconsider!!!

    Really, Subway??

    It's common knowledge that Subway employees give away their subs, those intended for their own consumption during shifts, and this has never been an issue. Cleary, this employee was not stealing , she was doing as many other employees do (and to individuals that certainly needed it during an unfortunate time), but absent-mindly forgot to record it. Shouldn't THAT be the mistake that she is disciplined for?

    Certainly someone who forgets to record a temperature or log a cash deposit would not have gotten fired over such a mistake... why should this individual?? Wouldn't a verbal/written been more appropriate?

    Simply disgusting, Subway! Smarten up!!

    You would think that Subway would donate a few measly old subs, not that they're any good anyways, and use the free publicity. The manaer of that store should be the one getting canned. Heaven forbid the company lost $6, oh no!! Just for that I'm not eating there again.

Still, it will be a PR nightmare for Subway and the employee in question is probably already working the cash at Wal-Mart.

    Well, if she did technically steal it, ie. gave it away and didn't record it, well, she should have been told about it....maybe not fired but at least reminded of the policy. There is probably alot more to this story I'm betting.

    I'm not surprised at all by Subway. I have been boycotting them for over 5 years now - not one bite have I had. My situation was all over 2 12 subs also - they way the treated me was unacceptable for a loyal customer that I WAS. I even went so far to bring my case to their head office who told me each store has there own policies, they are franchise and the head office has nothing to do with the individual stores way of doing business. Bull Crap I say - if that's the case then they need to haul down the Subway sign! No arguement from me to not eat there again. This day & age there are a tonne of options for healthier fast food. You don't need Subway!

    Hire her back and get rid of the manager who fired her in the first place. Sounds like she would make a much better manager anyway. At least she has some compassion.

    Each location is owned by an individual Franchisee (operator). Blaming the entire franchise and other franchisees is not going to help this situation.
    I feel Heidi should have asked first, however I don't know the entire story, neither do you. Her file could have been full of misconduct for all we know!
    Theft is theft. What if she took money from your wallet for them? Would you not say Why did you not just ask me first ?

    I could not have said it better Calvin. I would not want to work with Wild Rose. Calling her a donkey is close I was thinking more like the donkey's #$$. Kindness begets kindness and in todays society we seem to have forgotten about helping thy neighbour and those in need.

    To wild Rose and Marty Langer:

    It is amazing how some people will take any situation and turn it in to a bad rap that all of canada should suffer. Well I was taught to help my neighbour so thanks to that employee for her good deed , yes she had a slip of mind, but we all do that, from time to time. Subway Manager was probabley a US transplant with no manners or thought for anything but the bottom line. I will never eat at subway again and I am sure that there are those out there that will fell the same way.

    Give me air! Subway should be honouring this lady. We are all human an d can forget things. Did you see her take a second 12 sub that day?! All you had to do was ask her about it and any human with a brain could figure it out and a compassionate being would have a heart. I get the whole employee theft thing and how it affects the bottom line so no need to preach about that but clearly this woman was acting under other direction than self-fulfilling greed. Get real. That is the problem with some people in this world. There are too many black and white thinkers! Find the gray area with your grey matter! Think outside the box. Subway should be doing far more for their community but instead they threw it into further chaos... Way to go! We buy 3 to 4 meals a week for 3 people at Subway. Well, that will not happen for some time now. Give this woman her job back and apologize publicly and perhaps I will reconsider!!!

    Nice country you people live in. You're probably all too polite to do anything about it as well. How pathetic the 'nice' Canadians look now.

    Really, Subway??

    It's common knowledge that Subway employees give away their subs, those intended for their own consumption during shifts, and this has never been an issue. Cleary, this employee was not stealing , she was doing as many other employees do (and to individuals that certainly needed it during an unfortunate time), but absent-mindly forgot to record it. Shouldn't THAT be the mistake that she is disciplined for?

    Certainly someone who forgets to record a temperature or log a cash deposit would not have gotten fired over such a mistake... why should this individual?? Wouldn't a verbal/written been more appropriate?

    Simply disgusting, Subway! Smarten up!!

    You would think that Subway would donate a few measly old subs, not that they're any good anyways, and use the free publicity. The manaer of that store should be the one getting canned. Heaven forbid the company lost $6, oh no!! Just for that I'm not eating there again.

    Good for Subway. Employee theft is a major probem in this country. This scum bag should be made an example of and locked up.
