Just got wrongly accused and terminated today for “stealing” I told the LP guy straight up I didn't steal anything and It's a fucking dollar store. There's nothing here worth stealing and risking your job over. He say's “I'm not accusing you of stealing, there's just some behaviors going on in the store that need to stop”. He said I “saw” my co-worker steal milk and didn't say anything. UM hello? I was in the back changing the trash when she came in and put two gallons of milk from upfront and put them in the back freezer telling me she would buy them later. later in the night I go back there with her and we walk up to the register and I CHECK HER OUT AND HANDED HER THE RECIPT all under camera. The lp guy went over a few other things and asked me to sign a statement (which I probably shouldn't have but I just wanted to get rid of him). about an hour later he comes in with the district manager and they fire me stating “not protecting company assets”. I was pissed. I did no wrong. my co-worker did no wrong. This was all out of the blue I had no idea this was being set up. The milk was fucking paid for!
I busted my ass for 3 years for this company. Never called off once. Always came in early. I went above and beyond and this is the thanks I'm Given?
on a side note, Please join r/unionizedollargeneral if you haven't already we are 200+ members strong and growing. Let's stick it to this awful company together!
edit: Oh yeah, And there was a former employee that came in drunk almost every shift and stole about 2K in money, and it took them a MONTH to fire her and it was just the SM that fired her not LP!
