Absolutly, they get mad.

However, if they are told upfront upon hiring that they are responsible for it, and they will get docked or will have to replace missing or broken items "other than normal wear and tear, mind you", they know what to expect.

If you don't make this perfectly clear and just dock someone without notice, that employee will probably steal from you to make it up, sit down on you when they are at another job. Or worse.


Let them know upfront your policy.

Dnk.......
