K corporation headquarters firing the clerk who was robbed at 1:30 a.m. by someone covered from head to
toe with clothing and a mask, in all this hot weather.
The Monongah Circle K manager was against the firing of Randy Ramsey, but the corporate suits decided otherwise.

The Monongah Circle K manager was against the firing of Randy Ramsey, but the corporate suits decided otherwise.
The reason reported on Facebook was
that Randy had $20 too much in his cash register when Circle K was robbed.
“I am the fiancee of the man who got robbed. First, we would like to thank Jeff and everyone else for their kind words and support. It really means a lot. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
“The managers there loved my fiance and even told me he was a great employee. It was the corporate office and director that had the final decision and said he had to be terminated for it even though the manager fought to keep him.
“Also we are so upset people see us all the time, we are just starting our family out. He is a veteran and has already been through enough and seen awful things in the military. This is how a veteran with a pregnant fiancee and unborn child gets treated?
“Also, he got terminated from a job he was keeping to be close to his family and unborn child and because it was convenient for him because we don't have a vehicle. What a terrible way for a company to treat its employee!”
Amber later added:
“Randy doesn't really do the social media as much as I do. But I tell him everything everyone says and posts and inform him of everything."
She wrote: “My family means everything to me. Mess with them, mess with me!”

“Unfortunately, my fiance had been the person on midnight shift
the night Circle K was robbed! There was no tie-in with the robbery!
Unfortunately, he just had bad luck that night!
“He literally was a couple $ over in the register that they
allow on midnight shift even though he had customers right before that. On
midnight they only allow a total of a certain amount and, when he was robbed, he
was a few dollars over.

“Thank
you everyone for all everyone has done. Randy
Ramsey and I couldn't have asked to live in a
better town than Monongah. This town is a great town and we can't wait for our
baby boy to grow up here. We both really appreciate all the support and
everything everyone is doing.

Randy's mother, Christine Yost, a North Marion grad who
works at St. Barbara’s Nursing Home and lives in Monongah, wrote:
o
”I
am the mother of the of the guy who got robbed & fired. I really appreciate
all the kind words & everything else you have done for my son &
girlfriend. It was awful that my son got fired for a few dollars over in his
register.
o
“I
know he was a good & hard-working man for them. I know he was never late;
never, never missed & picked up days when they needed him.
o
“He
was well-liked by my employees at St. Barbara’s, too. I just hope he can get
his job back or find something close till he gets on his feet. They have been
struggling & trying to do what they can.
o
“Also,
thanks everybody for their donations as they are expecting their 1st child in 3
weeks."
The drive for money to help out the clerk and his girlfriend, who is 8 months pregnant, has been driven by North Marion grad and Monongah resident Jeff VanMeter, who wrote: “We as a community have got to find a way to help this young man.”
Krista Frederick writes that another employee got fired for a 50-cent
overage in the register.

“I called for a boycott for KT (Circle K). For some of you I know this is impossible; for others like myself, a mere inconvenience.
“I
do hope you'll think of the money we put into the hands of this company. I'll
gladly put their extra $20 back in their pocket if they will allow the Fairmont
Times to take a picture of it being returned by a town official.
“Think
if this was your son, a young man who was willing to lay down his life for you,
expecting his own child soon. Losing his lifeline for a paltry $20. I felt that
we were so fortunate to have KT in our midst. Now, however, I hope I'm not the
only customer they lose.
