He basically has a panic attack and swears it wasn’t him but they look so similar there is still doubt in some people’s eyes. So he goes down to restaurant and asks to the speak to manager, has the manager call my MD and tell him that it wasn’t him.
Everything is a good now but the poor guy could have lost his job and had a mild heart attack so that this restaurant could try recover a couple hundred dollar bill from some hipster.

So you accused a guy of theft without any actual evidence sounds like a good lawsuit he can bring against the company

Wouldn't a photo of the thief that looks exactly like the employee be enough evidence to at least ask him if it was him?

Company is pretty stupid for getting involved. If you are wondering if it's him place a tip to the police and let them handle it.

WTF? If you were the employee would you rather the cops showed up to talk to you about it, or would you prefer your boss taking you aside and asking you? Honestly, WTH would you want to involve the police for at that point?

Im sure both the MD of CBRE and MD of Colliers are going to enjoy being called out here...lol.
The whole MD title is a hipster thing.

Although it's a pretty absurd stance regardless, chances are it's the waitress that is footing the bill with her tips and not the restaurant.

A) If it was me, and I was not the guy in the picture I would have no problem with the police asking me some questions. Unless you are blind you probably already know you look like the guy in the photo.
B) My boss should not be in a position of asking me about what I do on my own time. It sets the company up for a lawsuit.

Why would anybody think that this guy is employed?
If I was the employee, I'd be 'WTF is this place? Hardy Boys Realty?"

I still don't get what you're talking about. Who in their right mind is going to launch a lawsuit against their employer in this situation? It's completely reasonable for the employer to ask the guy if it is him. Why are you going on about police and lawyers?

No, it isn't reasonable for the employer to ask him if he is the dine and dasher, they are not in the profession of enforcing the law. If the boss has a meeting with the guy and accuses him of being the dine and dasher, and it gets to the point where the guy has to go to the restaurant to get the manager to verify he is not the criminal just so he can keep his job. You really don't think the guy could sue the company?
And I said if the boss had any reason to believe he was the dine and dasher he should call the police and give them a tip that this person looks like the dine and dasher. Not pull them aside and accuse them of being the guy.

Right, because having the cops show up at the office to talk to the new employee is so much better for everyone involved.
"Well yeah we thought you kinda looked like the dine & dasher on the news, but instead of handling this with any discretion we just called the cops, but glad to hear it's not you. So how you finding things thus far?"
