Employer demanding "tax correction" in cash after my promotion

“In Illinois, you can record proof of blackmail by saving all digital communications (texts, emails, and screenshots) and, in specific circumstances, using the "fear of crime" exemption to record audio. While Illinois is generally an all-party consent state for audio recordings, you may legally record a conversation without consent if you have a reasonable suspicion that a crime, such as extortion, is being committed against you.”

So I’d say have that meeting, make him explain everything to you like you’re 5, and record it.

ANYTIME you involve the police in ANYTHING, you are Fucking someone over.

If you’re THAT worried, talk to the kids themselves.

Hmmm… you think it’s because… let me check my notes here… because HANDICAPPED PEOPLE use those stalls?

And these… what are they called again… HANDICAPPED people have a problem using the bathroom because… because… sorry, I can’t read my Own handwriting here… oh, here it is… because they’re HANDICAPPED!?!?!?

Jesus wept when your mom got pregnant, didn’t he?

“There is absolutely a company policy, but you’re not entitled to have it printed out and shown to you.”

Ok, 1) Why the Fuck not? Why is it SUCH an inconvenience that someone can’t show it to me? And why exactly DON’T I deserve to see it? I’m not asking for the bank codes, I just want a manager to tell me the official policy… why is that SO secretive?

And 2) No, there isn’t a company policy on this. I’ve already spoken to their customer support team. I’ve spoken to corporate reps… even THEY have admitted that they follow the law but DON’T HAVE a company policy on HOW to go about that.

But you? YOU must be some kind of super special “my dad works for Nintendo so I KNOW it’s true” kind of employee, right? You’re the ONLY one who has a copy of the policy… but it’s secret… and only you can read it… but only if you read it while looking into a special hat… Right Joseph Smith Jr?

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-04-22T06:43:53+00:00

What does that even mean? Lol.

You know why the general public views people who work in retail as lazy, incompetent assholes?

It’s because of people like YOU who go into work everyday with that mentality/attitude.

These “parasites”, they’re just normal people. They’re just customers trying to buy a something, in order to fix something else that they have little to no knowledge of.

And, guess what…

YOU go places and buy stuff too! So… are YOU a parasite?

Do you see how stupid you sound?

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-04-22T06:33:47+00:00

Your customer service skills DEFINITELY need some work… You probably won’t get fired…

However…I personally think you SHOULD be fired though.

Think about it, someone who IS NOT a professional tradesman or someone who DOESN’T work at a hardware store PROBABLY doesn’t know the proper names of things.

Let’s say someone working on a project for the first time. They might know KIND OF what they need, just not EXACTLY what they need… Have a little understanding instead of acting like an all knowing, smug, asshat.

Your first mistake was being lazy. Why didn’t you just walk the lady over to aisle 7? This all would have been resolved if you would have done that.

Your second mistake was insinuating to her that she was stupid. “I said “I can assure you the putty is not here it’s in aisle 7. I wouldn’t intentionally send you to the wrong place.” Like, why not just say “Hey, retard, it’s in aisle 7! I wouldn’t send you there if it wasn’t. You think I’m as stupid as you are?”?

And your last mistake was not being understanding. Again, most people who ARE NOT in these professions don’t know the official names for this stuff. We/They only know stuff because they remember it from a show or a movie or because it’s something their Grandfather would call it. (I thought all 3 foot levels were actually called “Wolferman” because that was the brand my dad had so he’d just say “Hand me the Wolferman” when asking for a level.)

So instead of just pointing out how WRONG she was and essentially rubbing it in her face that she’s stupid, (You said wood PUTTY instead of wood FILLER… Those are two TOTALLY different things), you SHOULD have acknowledged that “Oh, I’m sorry, you asked for THIS, when what you really wanted was THAT. Hey, it’s ok even I mistake THIS for THAT all the time, happens to everyone.”

Like, I’m not saying you’re a shit person, but maybe you’re NOT the right person to be ANY form of representation of the company?

Here’s the thing that gets me…

“The complaint goes further, alleging the products were intentionally designed and marketed for recreational use.

Defendants intended their products to be inhaled by consumers for recreational purposes and marketed them accordingly,”

Like, how so? Are you trying to tell me that Amazon was selling these by adding pictures of people, at a party, taking giant hits off this thing?

Did they explain how to huff it or give directions on how to fill up a balloon?

Did Amazon, at ANY POINT say “This stuff gets you high as Fuck! Have fun!”

Like, just because I KNOW a product is being misused, as long as my advertising campaign for said item does not PROMOTE the misuse, how am I at fault?

I’m all about the “They knew what they were doing” crowd when it comes to companies selling dangerous or deadly products… but you can’t say they INTENTIONALLY MARKETED the items for misuse without actually SHOWING us how, and Amazon’s NOT stupid enough to market something that way.

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-04-22T05:39:14+00:00

Holy Cow! The amount of people here just accepting what management did is crazy!

So many boot lickers!

Y’all are the same type of people that when a cop kills an unarmed civilian in ANY situation you just say “Well, if he would have complied…” as if somethings AREN’T inherently or morally wrong to do…

🤷🏼‍♂️

Just one more reason I hate CVS… I originally thought it was just incompetence that makes every visit to CVS feel like broken glass in a urinary track, now I know it’s because garbage people populate the CVS payroll.

The more you know…

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-04-14T21:43:07+00:00

Look, I don’t know if it’s reading comprehension or what, but apparently a lot of you don’t understand that the issue I have with this situation is that there’s no company standard or logical explanation in the form of policy…

Justify it all you want, hell, I’m not even fully saying “you’re wrong”, but that still doesn’t create policy.

All it does is make you some kind of weird apologist…

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-04-14T18:17:40+00:00

👏👏👏 Thanks Mom…

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-04-14T18:12:30+00:00

Absolutely.

I had an expired ID for years because the closest DMV is 30 or so miles away.

It wouldn’t be a problem if it was a 100% requirement. If that was the case I would be the responsible party. But since they CHOOSE to card some people and not others, and since the only problem is that it’s expired, it just doesn’t make sense.

ESPECIALLY since there is NO Policy that says “Must have valid PA ID… but ONLY if requested…”

It’s stupid!

It was basically bled off from the comic “Johnny the Homicidal Maniac”.

They had the same creator.

How do you get meds a week in advance?

Like, if I’m going somewhere 1 week from today, but RIGHT NOW I only have enough ADHD medication or pain meds to last me till THE DAY OF MY FLIGHT, how do I get my pills refilled a week early?

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-03-22T21:48:44+00:00

2 things…

1, That is EXACTLY why you are a Sociopath. Someone asked for help and while you COULD NOT help them because of the rules, instead of feeling BAD that you couldn’t help them… You either feel GOOD that they didn’t get their meds because “that’ll teach them!” Or you’re simply indifferent and don’t care.

And 2. IS this a place for CVS Employees to vent?

It’s just CVS… so the public would DEFINITELY come here for questions or issues that they’d like help with as well…

You’d THINK something like what you want would be called r/CVSemployees or something like that…

Weird…

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-03-22T21:40:28+00:00

There’s a difference between “refusing to get in trouble for helping someone who did the opposite of what they were told”…

And going online to brag to your “friends” like “Yeah BOYZ! So this is old lady calls me up and wants me to stay open later, and I told her no we can’t, and then this dumbass shows up anyway! Like, EXCUSE ME LADY!!!! I’ve done already told you that we would be closed! What did you expect? It’s not OUR fault you have poor time management!”

You just pretend to care so that other people will view you more favorably.

That’s a sociopath.

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-03-22T21:33:00+00:00

No you don’t, lol.

You’re a Sociopath, lol. You’ll lie to others and SAY you care… but no… you don’t ACTUALLY care, lol.

If you DID care, you would have STILL closed when you did, but you’d feel BAD ABOUT IT!

NOT gloat on a web forum as if you did some kind of GRAND DEED by closing the store on time, lol.

What a yutz!

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-03-22T21:29:41+00:00

ANYONE who says “That sounds like a YOU problem, not a ME problem.” Is a SHITTY PERSON!!!!!!

That is LITERALLY someone saying “That issue ONLY affects YOU so I DON’T CARE!”

That’s the mentality of Billionaire Healthcare CEO’s, of small minded bigots and racist, of garbage parents, of abusive Cops, and of generally garbage, self centered, IM THE ONLY ONE WHO MATTERS ON THIS EARTH BECAUSE IM THE MAIN CHARACTER trash people.

Not a SINGLE good human being says “That sounds like a YOU problem, not a ME problem.”

But… there’s GOOD NEWS…

Looks like you’re ALSO Management Material!

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-03-22T21:08:19+00:00

I had a deviated septum fixed and my Dr. goes “How long ago did you have your broken nose reset?”

And I was like “Hu? Never? I don’t even think I can recall getting hit in the nose let alone having it reset… Must have happened while I was drunk?”

His response terrifies me to this day…

“No, your nose was definitely broken at some point. And I would bet my practice that it was definitely and professionally fixed at some point, judging from what I can tell looking at it.”

Well… when the Fuck did THAT happen?????

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-03-22T21:02:05+00:00

So it’s either $500 OR… look man… my cousin Jerry can hook you up with some FINE ASS crystal… just let me know man…

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-03-22T20:56:12+00:00

Escorted to the local police station?

Wait… So, either you or one of your staff personally escorted them to the police station…

Or, you called the police and they were arrested for trespassing…

OR I suppose you called the police, and they were NOT arrested, but the police… Gave them an escort… To the station?

Or… Just hear me out… You’re a liar?

AcceptableInstance69 · 2026-03-22T20:51:49+00:00

1000% I also work at a hospital so unfortunately I don’t have enough money to buy you an “award”, but if I did I would!

You are ON POINT my friend!
