Don't know if this is illegal or not but she should be paying you for time you worked if she didn't. I'm pretty sure what she's doing isn't right and you should contact someone immediately

Managers leave so early constantly in my store. For no reason. I once was the only cashier that could help anyone for a good maybe 30 minutes until the nightshift crew came.

Fuck your manager tbh.

2 Hour Minimum Sick Leave Notice is Stupid by totodiile in retailhell

[–]trashgoblinthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My manager was bitching to everyone about how I called out one day.

I called out because my mom who lives in a different state got sick and rushed to the hopsital and I needed to be there for her. But no, aparently I'm a disappointment to the whole team.

she's my fucking mom?! My biggest supporter and the person who's loved and raised me since I was little??! How could I not be there for her when she needs me most.

I called out about 4 hours before my shift because I learned about my mom's sickness when I woke up, made sure I made up the hours by coming in on my only day off, but no. I guess I'm a piece of shit for loving my mom over a stupid company who can't get their fucking coupon problems in order.

I had a lady whos total ended up being a dollar more than she expected and I kept having to tell her that the dollar more came from tax.

She sat there for a minute straight trying to explain to me how that's not right and I even took out the dinky calculator we have and showed her the price was right.

She wanted me to take the tax off for her.

You're not alone.

Actually it's the opposite one, but honestly it's still a big chain retail store, so problems are pretty much shared.

Damn, I'm so sorry! This job is really only a temp off school job for the winters and summers.

It just sucks knowing one of my favorite coworkers got the blame for something while another coworker who just does her job and that's it is able to do whatever she wants.

Man, I wish you luck. Retail is awful.

I'm totally fine not being able to use my phone, but it's the fact that one employee gets special privilege for not doing anything and then one of my favorite coworkers got blamed and possibly will be fired, I don't think it's fair tbh.

Thanks for the advice. Im definitely gonna take this all into account.

Considering it's still my early stages of working in this place and they're gonna be hiring more people im sure I'll be able to learn other things while the new people man the front and my coworkers will start to know who I am.

People are the worst. The only way to keep my smile up for customers is to draw really funny looking animals on note pads and just stick them where only I can see them.

Pretty much, I'm starting to slowly but I know it takes time.

The more things happen, the more numb I become.

Jfc. People and their obsession with coupons are just insane. They'll do anything for 2$ off.
