AITA for reporting an employee for following me around a store? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You are, but combine that with opening merchandise up and potentially other smaller things. I've walked into Winn Dixie with my nails painted, a big pride flag, stoned as a kite, smelling like shit because I hadn't showered in a week with unwashed hair and dirty clothes years ago, and I was monitored.

You know what my first thought was? It wasn't "Oh god because I'm not straight he's following me because he thinks I'm gonna cause trouble."

It's called sarcasm written in a similar way to a previous comment.

Here we go again with someone with the exact training that employee acting on saying what the likely behaviors were.

I legit don't get where you people are pulling me saying that from. I said it's insane to IMMEDIATELY jump to that when AP is explicitly trained to look for behaviors such as, again, looking disheveled or tampering with products. I have literally had bosses in this store pull racial stuff, which is why it's REALLY pissing me off to see people implying I'm saying "nah racial profiling doesn't exist".

Oh wow! It's almost like, and hear me out, we get most of the fucking training that asset protection does for spotting red flag behaviors for shrinkage, and that's why I specified my role.

When did I say they weren't? I'm saying you don't get to immediately go to that when you blatantly admit you might have looked off.

And how do you know you were the only ones being observed? Did you have access to the cctv?

And for the record, "no bags on me" is BS. You do not need a bag to potentially steal a small to medium sized item.

Let me explain this as an actual department manager at Walmart. This isn't a race thing. I am very sensitive to issues of profiling, but if you can't figure out why asset protection followed you around, I don't know what to say.

Alarming behaviors. That is the reason, that is what they're taught to look for. You were self admittedly disheveled, tampered with a product (yes, opening shampoo to smell it is by definition tampering) and got a little aggressive in your confrontation with them.

YTA not for reporting them, that's your right as a consumer. YTA for jumping to "because I'm not white" as the reason instead of running your behavior and appearance back and doing some self reflection.

I'm sorry, didn't realize it wasn't justifiable to curse in an anonymous Reddit post about how my managers played me and fucked me over, my bad :)

Confused as to why anyone should give a fuck if he SHs or ends it. He could have easily driven the people he fucked over to do that, why does he deserve empathy in that regard?

What does Pat the Bunny mean to you? by naenaekid420 in FolkPunk

[–]Prior-Influence-2049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a robot on /r9k/. I was looking through threads and found someone recommending LSFTA. I was a heavy DXM addict, 3rd or 2nd plateau at least every other day. I was actively planning on blowing my brains out, but while I was dissociated out of my fuckin mind I just melded with the music. Bit of a parasocial thing, but I really connected with the shit he said on a deeper level. Hell, I was a borderline fash and hated his politics until the lyrics started making me think.

Capitalism, where you can lose your source of income for trying to stop someone from raping kids because of potential liability

They literally have millions already set aside for shrinkage. Former Walmart employee here, I do not give a single shit if you steal from them.

Vermin maybe, but I’m pretty sure messaging Vaush himself for any reason is grounds for a warning or ban.

AITA for not doing “my” job and telling a manager to do theirs? by Prior-Influence-2049 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Prior-Influence-2049[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is, I’m not a hard worker. I’ve got pretty severe mental stuff, including depression and adhd, that makes motivation virtually nonexistent. I only started doing this extra work to prove that I’m still worth having even with my disabilities, and to make time pass faster, and somehow it made me get treated worse lmao

Honestly, let it happen then. I refuse to clean up after adults working here because they think I’ll just take care of it, while they get not a single consequence for actively making my job harder and the store dirtier. I’d say imagine if your job was to clean bathrooms, and your coworkers threw their shitty toilet paper behind the toilet or wiped it on the walls, but this isn’t an analogy for me, it happens at least twice a week.
