At 16, Your Life is OVER
Today was an absolutely HORRIBLE day at work. I wanted to quit!
I was supposed to help unload the freight truck today, but since Miss "I Sign People Up for Cards Without Telling Them" got fired, and one girl who was supposed to be there when we opened was over an hour late, I had to be a cashier. When the girl, "Cathy," got there, she whined about being the one who had to work in tools? So guess who had to work there? Me. It was a MADHOUSE. We had a two day 50% off Craftsman sale. We ran out of the sale items in about two or three hours. So then we offered the customers the choice to buy a similar item, which we would give to them half off. That stuff ran out in another hour or so. The customers were mad, and yelling at me for the stuff being out, even though we were giving out rain checks. They didn't want it Saturday, they wanted it NOW.
Then Cathy went to lunch. Two hours later, she hadn't returned. Remember now, Cathy was supposed to give out breaks and lunches. One of the other cashiers saw Cathy walking out of the store...in handcuffs. She had stolen several hundred dollars from the store's registers, one or two hundred dollars at a time. She had been using money to buy shoes, purses, etc., that she HAD TO HAVE. And not cheap stuff either. How stupid is that? If she had a brain, she would know that when the register was counted, the missing $200 or so would be noted.
That same day, her loser boyfriend had been thrown out of the store. He bought a pot and pan set for $150. He wrote a check for it, and instead of making it out to our store, he wrote it to himself. Of course, the cashier noticed and called security.
So early in the afternoon, the morning shift people had not had lunches or breaks, and it was almost time for us to leave. One of the other cashiers, "Amanda," asked one of the managers what to do, and she said that she could fill in while Amanda went to lunch and I could go ahead and go since the tool department was slowing down. Amanda clocks out and goes down the stairs. That bitch of a manager that I've made a topic about before sees Amanda leaving and asks what she's doing, and Amanda tells her. The bitch says, "No, you're not going anywhere. Go back to your register. I don't care what that other manager said. She is no one. She has no authority to make decisions here. You just won't get a lunch." Amanda rolls her eyes and says that she's going to do what she was told and went to lunch anyway.
So that was my day.
Cathy has ruined her life, and she's only 16. No one is going to hire someone who stole hundreds of dollars from her own employer.

That is really too bad. I worked with a girl who was about 22, and had just gotten out of jail. She had stuff on her record (stealing for drug money, etc.), but we really needed a daytime counter person so the owner of the pizza place decided to give her another chance. She really looked as though she wanted to start over.
