well, we\'ve been having problems with people stealing stuff and
such, dvd\'s, tapes and games. Well the other night the assistant
manager basically drilled me and other two people, and said that
it was the people who run the floor(run tapes in common terms).
And of course me and him disagreed and told her the store was
too big for just one person to find people stealing. I mean people
that wanna steal, will and we can\'t do anything about it, without
cameras throughout the store. So she was basically saying it was
the regular employees fault for stuff getting stolen, well tonight a
game ended up missing, and guess who was running the floor
tonight, her. So when the girl brought the missing game to her
attention, I was like who was running tapes tonight??? And she
went off in this bullshit excuse frenzy, like I wasn\'t running tapes
half the night, I was running till, most the night. Then like five
minutes later she walks past me and is like yeah if you wanna be
so smart about it, it may of well been stolen last night. Well I
finished my closing shit, and ran some tapes, and it was 11 and
she was like you can go now, and I was like I don\'t get off till 12,
and was like don\'t I get an explanation, and she was like we
don\'t need you anymore, when there was 2 other people that
were getting off at 11, and we were still quite busy, so I was like
is the Jackie gonna be here tomorrow(store manager), and she
was like at 1 yeah, so I\'m gonna go in and talk to either her, or
the senior assistant store manager, and see if what she did was
handled correctly. The manager is only 18, don\'t u think they
should put someone in charge that is more responsible??? Well in
any case the pole is was she right or did I get $hitted on.
Now I have all intentions, on going to speak to my store manager or the senior assistant, by the way this is Blockbuster.
-
You proved her wrong and she couldn\'t handle it. That\'s definately someone that should not be the one managing.
-
since you wrote too much for me to read, I\'m going to side with your manager.
but judging by vivi\'s short responce, it sounds like you\'re in the right

I work in a department store too. It starts with a \'K\' and ends in \'art\'...
We have the same problem, our demo PS2 got stolen just last week!
-
It\'s really easy to steal from Kmart.. :nerd:
-
I always pictured you working at GayMart.. hmmm...
Well what business is that MJ? Couldn\'t figure it out. Privately owned gaming shop?
Personally I think you stole the stuff and are trying to frame this chick and get her job. Yeah, that\'s the ticket.
-
Sorry, thought I posted it, Blockbuster.
-
Sorry vid I don\'t steal, I was pointing out its ok for her to sit there and drill us on people stealing, and it being our fault, but when something comes up missing, and it was on her clock, she gets all pissy about it???

You blind its fairly easy, it would of taken u 2-3 minutes to read it i swear some of u people round here are so lazy.

Its hard to read when you make everything a nice big paragraph. It took me like 5 times to read it through before I actually understood what you were saying.

Depends. In the true sence of the word, so she didn\'t do the right thing. She should have listened to her employees and taken their advice. In a managerial sence of the word, she did do the right thing. She passed the blame and wouldn\'t admit she was wrong.
Jus take it as it comes, and try not to let it get to you. This won\'t be the last time. If it gets too bad, either try to get her in trouble with the owner or jus quit and find something better. Heh, I got fired from at least two jobs over BS reasons. One for a no-show for three days (My father was passing away and I had to be there to help him - FMLA wouldn\'t have processed fast enough) I tried to call in to tell them I would be absent.. but their Answering machine was broken (Seemed to work fine to me). Even after I brought in an obituary and doctors slip, they still fired me.
Then another time I was supposed to work overtime at Noble Romans to supply the Tippy dance hall kids with pizza. It was one of our busiest nights, and one where most stuff had to be done in a very specific manner in order to get things. Well, Heather was feeling sorry for me and she gave me most of the night off since I\'d been working Tippy nights for 6 weeks streight. When I finally got into work to start getting prepared, this D*ckwad who worked before me had the place trashed.. and I mean TRASHED. Heh, I was cussing out a 40 year old man like he was a 5 year old.. telling him to clean up his area and get it ready for me before leaving. (Generally, I think that\'s pretty bad when the floor is so filthy you can write your name on it) Well he snuck off while I was chatting with the counter people and I ended up having to do all his work.. which made the rest of the tippy night a disaster and pissed off a lot of customers. So I called up the bosses, but none of them were home. Finally, I called his ass up and chewed him out on the phone in front of customers for like an hour.
Yet, I\'M the one who got fired (and banned from the store) because of that. I guess it was my fault, I should have known better than to not kiss the ass of the guy who was the bosses bf\'s drinking buddy/best friend.
*Shrugs*

Thing is sonyfan, for her to sit there and pass blame, but when it happens to her its not her fault, the other 2 managers arent like that, this manager was supposedly cool, before, everyone says her heads ballooned to astronomical proportions, like I\'m 18 and assistant manager of blockbuster, woopidifukindoo, that happens in a lot of places, but she thinks her $hit don\'t stank cuz she\'s the assistant manager??? Bull$hit.
-
Exactly, but managers know all and are never wrong.. or else they wouldn\'t be managers. :rolleyes: It happens to alot of people at a lot of places. Jus one of those things you kinda have to live with.
Hell, look at Dajo. :p
-
The company I work for gets things stolen, usually it\'s the managers that get the blame from head office, never are the shop floor staff singled out and blamed. If you spent all your time watching peolpe like a hawk, you would never get any work done.
Your manager sounds like a right bitch btw!
-
The moral of the story...the video rental industry is a bitch. I had a friend who worked at a local video store, and he had to deal with all the same sort of bullshit. At this one, he was working there for maybe a year. In that time, there were 5 managers, and maybe 20 employees that had come and gone. Eventually, he just got so fed up that he quit on the spot, and walked out on the store.
-
People are made managers for a reason, right? Because they have shown they can handle responsibility. I think she was wrong for chewing you out about stolen items when she couldn\'t handle it herself. But I think that you should have went to the store manager in the first place to talk about the theft problem before she started ranting about it.
-
I think you should kill her. Then, well... You know...........
-
rape her...

I had a similar thing happen to me like that. I work at burger king in a mall. I was cashier for the longest time and I was always fast and accurate with my money. Well anyways. At that store or whatever we have more than one person be a a particular register and I was sharing mine with like 4 people a one point. To make a long story short. There was always money missin from my drawer like $20 at a time. Well when welty and I went on vacation in the middle of August there was a total of $497 stolen from there in one day from the safe. Well when I came back I heard rumors that she was blaming me and she knew I was gone but she was still accusing me. So because she doesn\'t believe me I am permanently off of register :( I had no reason to steal money from there. My checks were more than enough for me and if I needed anymore money I have friends to get it from or my own mother. I wouldn\'t be so stupid as to take it out of my OWN register.. But that\'s life :(
-
Haha... you work at Burger King.... in a mall...
-
Burger King, haha, what a looser!
I collect cans on the side of the road, now that\'s a job! :D
-
I\'ve figured that the way I came about confronting her was wrong, but at the same time she was wrong for how she handled the way I came out about it, I\'m not sorry for voicing my opinion about something, but maybe I shoulda been the better person and handled it differently myself, I\'ve also had a day to cool down, I am gonna hopefully talk to her and situate all this tomorrow with her, maybe try to set her straight, and make her a better manager, but if that doesn\'t happen I don\'t know what then??? I like the job just she needs to pull the responsibility, and the weight of being a manager, and not act so immature about situations.

Since it\'s hard to detect text as being sarcastic over the Internet, I am hoping that your statement was sarcastic, and if it was not, then I pity you greatly and have far less respect for you than I ever did.
Let me put it this way; when you go to sleep at night, there are people cleaining offices, people cleaning streets, people at sh*tty restaurants taking orders from drunks, people at restaurants taking your orders day in and day out, people cleaning said restaurants, cooking your meals, and cleaning up your crap and you have the nerve to laugh at them?
If these said people suddenly dissapeared, would you do it? Would you clean up other people\'s crap, cook their meals, or do anything else that you seem to be too far above to even recognize as a position with respect and dignity? Yah, it\'s a sh*tty job, but these people do it without complaining to earn the mighty dollar. Don\'t patronize them all becuase your standards are too high.
By the way, Vapor, where do you work? Last I heard, you were mooching off your family... Care to update the rest of us on that situation?
Then again... you could have been being sarcastic, in which case, I withdraw all that I said...
-
Yeah Vapor Snake, this reply is directed at you if you weren\'t being sarcastic or just joking.
Whats wrong with working at Burger King. Its a good honest job. At least shes making money and doesn\'t have to hit up her parents for money all the time. Don\'t make fun of her just because she want\'s to have some independence and money of her own. Are you working? If not, then shut your pie hole and leave sara along.
Oh and if you were just joking or what not, then ignore what I just said. Even then I think you owe sara an apology. :wedge:

Sounds like a couple other former fast food workers took offense to your comment VS...
You are the devil.
-
Wow who knew so many people had worked in fast food! ^_^ I\'m glad I am not alone! It is alot of work and I do my share of complaining about it or at least I did but now I just let it go.
Also the money is not that bad for a first job. I mean I make a lil above minimum wage and I make like $1 less than my brother and he has been working for a year at his place. I put in almost twice the hours he does.
I also like working there because all of my coworkers (EXCEPT my boss) are easy to get along with. It is nice to work in a place where you get along with everyone. yea so there ^_^ :bounce:
-
no what your manager isnt right, and to be honest if she cant handle that then she shouldnt be manager. how big is the store etc??? yeah stuff get stolen, there is nothing you can do about it sometimes..... well talk to the manager
-

Actually, I never worked in fast food. My first job was an office job at the Gap fixing their PC\'s for that whole Y2K thing. At the time, \'99, I made $10/hour, not too bad for a first job.
I just respect the people who do work at restaurants, delivery places, janitors, all of those professions that most people think are "lower end" particularly since when i was a little youngling, my mom busted her ass working 2 jobs at a fast food mexican place and delivering pizzas for a local pizza parlor. You can\'t possibly imagine how shi*ty it must be to drive a fairly big distance, possibly even get lost, deliver the pizza, and then have the ass give you exact change. Let alone the fact that she worked the late shift for the mexican food place and have to deal with all the drunks who came in.
Ever since then, I have made an effort to ALWAYS tip EVERYONE who waits on me in any capacity. Even if I drive in for take out, I still tip. It\'s my way of showing thanks and respect for the work these people do.
-
Have I happened to let anyone know that this manager is now my wife?
-
pffffffffHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA :rofl: :laughing: :lmao:
thats some funny shit!!
-
If she\'s hot, get a blow job.
-
Haha thats classic. Did you show her this thread?
-
She is actually the one that posted that shit, fucking shit, when she told me that I was pretty pissed off!!!!!!
-
Talk to mm. He used to work for Blockbuster, and has a magicall timecard that can get her fired if she punches it.
It\'s just a matter of bait and switch!
-
I guess you got the blow job from your former manger.
-
Yes I have, haha... And we don\'t work at Blockbuster anymore that was like 5 years ago...
-
She is actually the one that posted that shit, fucking shit, when she told me that I was pretty pissed off!!!!!!
i uhhhhh what!?!
Your now-wife posed as you and posted the messages in this thread back in 2002? Somehow I don\'t think that\'s what you meant...
Cool story though :D
-
what a twist how that turn out.

Damn this thread is old. I started reading it thinking it was new, then I saw my posts and didn\'t remember posting. Then I realized it was a 5 year old thread. Congrats on getting hitched with your manager. I wish my managers were hot...and female. I had a manager at one job who was so slamming. She used to wear high heels and these nice pants that showed off her ass. Mind you this was CVS. I wanted to bone her so bad :D
