A Tesco deputy manager who said he was “singled out” and sacked for drinking three cans of Red Bull worth €9.45 without paying has lost his claim for unfair dismissal.
John Herd said he “forgot to pay” for the energy drinks on three occasions in October 2021, when he was accused of stealing them, because he was “on the verge of being made homeless” and was losing sleep over it.
