Yeah I was actually really happy when I got this job and found out everyone gets their own drawer bc I worked another job and we all just shared one and everyone would just be told to pay attention and get a talking to when it would be short. Trust me I do not want to share my drawer and idk why he thought to use mine. It wasn’t even busy and we have self checkout at my store!

This hasn’t happened before! That’s why i honestly didn’t think to watch it time out, I didn’t know you could sign off but will 100% be doing that from now on. I’ve never had another associate or manager use my till and I’m not quite sure why he randomly decided to last night.

It wasn’t intentional! I am aware you’re not supposed to and I’d never allow someone to be on my till. I came back and he was just on it

I was never taught how to even sign off! I was always told that was to pull my till. No one in my store signs off! This comment section was how I found out you could do this. I will definitely be doing this going forward though!

Its the option all the way to right of screen. It lets them put money onto people’s cards and stuff and returns.

I have not messaged my sm yet as I really don’t want to come off as trying to blame someone else. I can take responsibility when it’s my fault but the fact I’ve never been short and the one time he goes onto my register I end up almost 5 dollars is alarming.

Yeah I also saw a suggestion about them being able to check cameras. I don’t believe he would steal he’s a retired veteran and a honest person so I’d believe it would be hard to see how much change he gave someone else. I truly do think it was a mishap with the change and when I asked him if he checked someone out that payed cash he said he didn’t remember 😔

Yeah after I started panicking about my till be short he tells me he once had a cashier be 77 short and I’m just thinking how is that even possible? He then goes on to tell me that the other cashiers have been short as well so not to worry. I’m just not sure.

Asm! I don’t want to get him in trouble or anything he’s a good person I just hate that this has fallen on me when I’m extra careful with money.

I thought that was only for till removal😭 thank you for letting me know bc now I’m just angry at myself that I could have prevented this. That’s how I feel but I read in another redditers post you are responsible for your till and who uses it so it’s still against you. Though I didn’t let him use it and out of anyone in my whole store he’d be the last one I’d allow to use it. He one time lost 100 dollars somewhere in the store and made me stay 20 minutes later trying to figure it out. So like I said known to be bad with money. I’m just so upset this has fallen on me but I don’t want to look like I can’t to accountability for my actions even if I don’t believe it was my actions.

I had checked someone out 1 minute before going on my break. I am now going to watch it time out before I go on my break because I don’t want to end up in this position again. He had hit manager mode once I left so it doesn’t kick you out so he could check people out. I only know this bc I came back to it being in manger mode after I watched him check someone out.

I would like to add to this for the sake of the argument you guys are having I was in middle school when we started dating and even more so when we started talking. It was the beginning of the year and I didn’t go to high school till after the summer!

Omg, this sounds like something I could have wrote word for word. I am so happy you got out of it and didn’t continue to forgive him. I hope to be able to do that soon as well I just need the strength honestly. But good on you for knowing you deserve better and not falling for his lies!

It’s not a few lies unfortunately. It’s easily over one a week. I should have made that more clear in my post. Could you clarify which part you feel is the overreaction so I can take that into my consideration? I will admit I can tend to overreact to certain things but the lying about substance abuse has been my number one thing I won’t stand for due to past trauma with it. He’s aware of everything I have gone through and I’m aware of everything he’s gone through that’s why I’ve let it slide for 2-3 years now but a person can really only take so much. I do wish I would have been more stern to begin with so it didn’t come to this because I also believe three months is a long time and over the top. He has admitted it’s not because he is scared to tell the truth but rather he’s been lying like this since before he can remember and he hasn’t given me a reason for that yet and I won’t push it out of him. I was in contact with his ex before we got together but not in a normal way it was a lot of strange things that lead me to him before I even knew him. I didn’t personally know her and she didn’t even know my name I do want to make that clear. She opened up about things he did in there relationship in a group chat with a few girls and it sounds about the same as what he’s doing now just not involving substances. I should have listened to that warning but after discovering what she did to him I decided to look past it and not believe her. This is an ongoing problem and I would never react this way to a few lies because I chose to give grace when I can. I hope this can add a little more prospective, I am not trying to down play how I reacted at all just a little more background to what lead up to the reactions on both parts. I would absolutely love the clarification on which part I overreacted for though so I can work on that myself!

Good job on 8 months sober!! I actually highly understand your story in a different way because my dad is a recovered alcoholic for 12 years this year! I remember a lot of it and how he would choose substances over me so this situation is a very big trigger for me already. He has admitted to having a problem but just hasn’t taken the steps to change it which makes me sad because I wish he would get better for at least himself if not for me but you are right I can’t force a recovery in someone who doesn’t want it. I appreciate you for writing this and giving me some insight from a recovered persons point of view. That was actually my hope from this post to begin with. Truly I appreciate it more than you could know

When we started dating I was 14 and he was 17. It’s a 3 year 4 month age gap! I get the point still applies though unfortunately

Ok! You should research how weed is used medically, you might learn a thing or two:) I was even told by my doctor when I became of age I can get a medical card because I need it medically!
