From the synopsis, the CM was still "on the clock" attempting to make a private purchase instead of being at his location, in costume and working.

I can't say anything nice here about that...
Sorry, I can't bring myself to type the words Cast Member.
And this is roughly part of what caused me to voluntarily leave the company, except in my case since I manually clocked in and out it was a typo.

The cast member was still officially on the clock and therefore was supposed to be in his work location working, not making private purchases. He should have waited until he was off the clock before buying the tickets.

I would imagine in this case, since they pulled him up on CDS to look, that it wasn't an innocent mistake. And I would like to assume your situation is fairly rare.

Is it possible that the CM got an ER that didn't make it into CDS?

Absolutely anything is possible with CDS.

Anytime I was ERd, I still clocked out on CDS.

I doubt that as normally if you work in an area that uses CDS you clock in and out on it as well.

And if the cast member works in an area that doesn't use CDS?
