Pregnant fast food worker robbed at gunpoint, told to repay stolen cash or be fired

What I mean is her tale that she could have kept her job if she paid them back doesn't fly.

Popeyes is a national chain, they'll have a whole set of procedures to fire someone and minimize unemployment and lawsuits.

I think it's pretty crappy of them to use this as "last straw" to fire this woman, but we also don't know the story. Some people really take advantage of employers, if she was one, they were probably just glad to get the final warning and be able to axe her without fear of repercussions.

Several articles on this state that many Companies have the employee pay for the stolen money:

Z&H Foods isn't the only company with this type of policy, according to KHOU-TV research. Other companies also have rules about the amount of money allowed to accumulate in a cash register and how much an employee is liable for when a shortage occurs.
