How long ago was "way back when"?
Because Alberta employment standards prohibit employers from making up shortages from employee pay, with two exceptions that must be met at the same time.
To do so, you need written permission from the employee AND must show that the employee had exclusive access to the missing items/cash.

Chalk it up to people telling 6th hand rumors. None of the people claiming this have been able to provide proof.
