At my place of employment a memo was recently posted that any employee that let's a customer walk out of the office with an unpaid balance that employee would be responsible for that balance. In the past a billing would be sent out to the customer but it seems it would save the employer time and a stamp to just take it out of my check. I thought that if that agreement was not arranged and signed at the time of employment that could not be the case. If possible I would like a legal point of view.

If you are not working under commission then your employer cannot back charge you for a non-paying customer. I suggest calling your State Labor commission or go to the U.S. Department of Labor

it's completely illegal. all businesses are required to have liability insurance. Report them to the business association or speak with an attorney about it. First consultation is usually free nd they can tell ya what to do.
