[QUOTE="Star*, post: 524978, member: 4964"] See that's just it - EVEN the evil manager said out loud to the Manager and it WAS overheard - AND the manager told me ---she said "I didn't mean for her to get fired, I just wanted to get her in trouble." I've never been in trouble, never been written up. NADA. I follwed the rules the way my store manager, and sr. manager (evil one) had TOLD ME, and set an example of for months. One other guy has his wife come in there on occasion. When I've observed her buying things, he calls for a manger. The manager stands there next to him while HE rings up HIS wife, and takes the payment. The manager didn't RING the wife up. So to me for all these months THIS is how this rule is interpreted. The store manager told me she was written up after I got fired because even though she WROTE the rule, she interpreted it wrong, set a bad example, and as a result of her example on this rule I got fired. Didn't get me my job back. Then anytime someone wanted to buy an item in the store we were told as long as it went out the day before......and wasn't bought that day? We were allowed to buy it. (shrug) They didn't ever specify if it went out at 4:00 or 6:00 or you came in the next day at 3:00 - Both evil manager and an associate told me this was a loophole. I'd seen the sr. mgr. one - and the associate she was in kahoots with - find something that another employee wanted. They put it out late /closing. The next day the employees wife came in to BUY it first thing in the morning. Now I didn't know this was wrong, never thought anything about it.
