Work as a cashier/customer service (mostly to get away from cashiering). Recently they stopped putting someone on the clock to be the leader. This means from 8-9am (sometimes 10am) we have no one to tell us what to do. Pretty nice overall. However, I found out yesterday this was because my boss thought I would “step up”. I had to laugh and tell her she doesn't pay me to be the leader. It may have been a bit too harsh to laugh in her face, but it honestly reminded me soo much with what this reddit talks about. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it as well. Overall not upset, it's just funny how she thought I would just do it without even asking or telling me about it.

I've met too many people who feel genuinely guilty, over mistakes that left the register short. I've been told too many times, at too many different companies, that the right thing to do is to replace the money out of your own pocket. A year and a half ago, I had coworkers pressuring me to put in my own money. They kept saying it was only a nickel. They told me other employees had replaced it out of ther own pockets. Told me one employee even had to put in $10 once. Everyone had to do it, when I happened. So I hung up. I called our immediate superior, who was the DM. I asked him if their was a contingency for missing money from the register. Obviously, he said yes. The next day, the money was magically found when the person pushing me the most, was at that location.…

So, long story short: It's me and 4 other guys working here. I do the afternoon-evening shift and them others do the morning-afternoon shift. One of them tells our boss he can't come to work because he'll have to go to the hospital or whatever. My boss says “no problemo” and calls me. He says: “Since he can't come to work tomorrow, I'll need you to replace him”, to what I say “but he starts working at 8 am and I start working at 1 pm. I will have to work from 8 am to 9 pm tomorrow?” and he says: “That's it” :/ Now, out of morbid curiosity I asked him “will I at least get some extra money for the extra work?” to what he replays, and I kid you not, he says: “We were expecting you do this for the company.” Like, what? Well, I say the…

Started developing cold symptoms yesterday and although I was feeling fine during the day, it took a turn for the worse in the middle of the night. My shift starts at 6am so ended up texting my boss at that time telling him I was not gonna be able to make it. He replied right away saying that calling in sick right at the beginning of the shift will not be tolerated in the future. Am I in the wrong here? How much of an advance notice can I give next time when my shift start this early in the morning? Seems irrational and inconsiderate to me to text someone at 2am to tell them you won’t be going in the morning just for the sake of giving reasonable advance notice. Anyhow, I’d like to keep this incident recorded if I’m ever reprimanded or terminated for calling in at last…
