For 128 shifts, Johnson managed to build up $19,898 between June 2021 and May of 2022.

The restaurant initially busted Johnson after finding what they described as a “discrepancy” in an audit and contacted the police.

Johnson admitted her crime to law enforcement, sharing that she did indeed make the fake employee and was depositing the money in her cash app account.

The restaurant’s insurer paid off $16k from the incident’s debt.
