Tesco ordered to pay €4,000 to worker sacked for taking bottle of wine from store without paying

The Irish arm of retail giant Tesco sacked a worker after she admitted taking a bottle of wine valued at less than €20 out of a store and not paying for it.

The retail worker was dismissed by Tesco Ireland on March 29, 2016 arising from an incident on January 13, 2016 when she was intercepted by a security officer after she left the store at the end of her shift.
