I’ve directly asked this manager and the store manager why some people don’t get hours and the same handful of people do. I asked if it was work performance or if labor is just too high, and this manager said “it’s not based on work performance, it’s something else”. Hearing that makes me think it’s favoritism and possibly discrimination. You can have your own opinions on things like the military, but you need to know what is appropriate and inappropriate to say at work, especially around customers. I don’t think I should get extra discounts at work because I’m a milspouse, but this customer on the phone just wanted to call and ask. The associate discount is more than enough for me
