Ever been fired? Possibly. I was, sort of, kind of, once.
When you woArk in retail, there is oftentimes a discount given to employees… a generous amount, involving a lot of hassle to find a specific manager to ring out your purchase and several hours of digging for the right bargain after a large amount of stock has marked down.
well, back in December I bought Christmas presents with said discount.
It came back to bite me in the ass.
Apparently, one is not allowed to use their employee discount to buy presents. At least, at Fashion Bug, home of bloated prices and crappy clothing it isnt.
So in February when our store was audited and failed several times because past managers had stolen a ton of merchandise, pion employees myself were targeted for part of this failure.
They sat me down, went through all my old transactions and said, you bought some items in December that had a different “size index code” than the ones you’ve bought before. These weren’t for you, were they?
Needless to say, lying in the face of authority probably would’ve saved my ass and left me with that crappy job.
A few days ago I got a bill in the mail for the “losses” my company suffered. A measly 20 bucks has turned into 90 due to processing and the grievances I’ve caused the state of Ohio.
Grievances? Please. Stop throwing parties and getting your friends wasted, heads of state.
