Hubbys job at risk because of family

DH trusted his brother with his Clubcard employee card. He gave it to his partner to use as she was doing the food shops. She’s been caught twice stealing with a trolley full and hubby is now being investigated at work. Apparently BIL knew she had a habit with stealing as he already pre warned her not to use the card if she is going to be stealing. I should add that they are very comfortable and don’t need to be stealing. She is the other woman and I have never been able to gel with her. Now i can’t bare the thought of being around her even more. DH is in a management role so i can imagine they are going to take this very seriously.

I feel like DH is downplaying it all because he doesn’t want to rock the boat but I am fuming!!!

Am I over reacting? Hubby says he didn’t want to tell me because he knew I’d over react. She’s potentially put my husband at risk of losing his job.

Is he allowed to let family members use the discount? If he is, then I don't really see how he can be held responsible if they steal stuff.

Why did he let his brother use the card?

Doing a big shop paying for a few items then scanning DH’s card to get even more discount! I think he’s going to lose his job.

It sounds as though he's put his own job at risk by letting his brother have his card.

I don't understand. How was she both shoplifting and using the card?
