I’m all for the average retiree spending freely and enjoying what they earned. They spent a lifetime working; it’s their money. Inheritance issues create way too many family disputes.

The victim was a billionaire, and apparently there were no serious injuries. This is a comedy.
It can be frustrating to see, but remember, parents almost never get any actual time off. Go home at the end of the day? Kids to deal with, and perhaps shuttle around. Weekend? Kids. Holidays? Kids. Parents have enormous, constant responsibility, so cutting them some slack is just basic compassion.
Besides, any decent parent would choose their kids over their job anyway, so being accommodating only makes good business sense.
I’d “forgive” them after using their apology against them in court, and pressing both civil and criminal charges. (I know I’m dreaming here, but were they stupid enough to give you a written note?) Even then, I’d only “forgive” them for my own benefit - holding on to anger can do psychological damage, and revenge is often impractical.
Also, I’d remember that “forgiving” and “forgetting” are two very different things.
Lastly, I’d copy the tone, wording, and overall style of their “apology” as closely as possible when “forgiving” them. Basically, I’d say FUCK YOU in the most diplomatic way possible.
Curious to know what their rationale is. You shouldn’t even need a high school diploma to serve overpriced coffee.
Fuck it. This scam was clever enough that I appreciate and sorta admire it.
At that point, Donner had been a director for over twenty years. He knew how the game was played. Hats off!
