I worked at a grocery store with AP a while back, I asked her if it would be cool if I bought an air fryer to work. I was only going to use it before the store opens and at lunch time, I was even willing to share it with my cilents, she said okay.
I buy a cheap one, get it two days later and I bring it to work and start using it. She gets in 10 – 20 mins after me, she sees me using it and freaks out.
Next day her manager comes in and bursts my “balls” over the air fryer. That means AP told her manager I was using an air fryer, I didn't even eat anything since she freaked out. Her manager wouldn't have checked the cameras before the store opened unless she mentioned it. Anyway, I apologized sincerely and thought it was over, nope.
AP at that grocery store also told her other AP buddies about it, wherever I went I was belittle. Her manager would even belittle me still after weeks. Their managers ended up telling my managers and I got my first ever write up.
I will always own up to my mistakes, but my problem is…..if I wasn't allowed to bring an air fryer why did she say yes? I bought this up to them and they did give me another chance, it's crazy. I never called in, always early. I was the guard that went above and beyond, customers loved me and the clients. Yet no one had my back, they complain about bad guards – say I'm a good guard yet will treat me the same as the bad guards. Wtf?
This isn't the first time she would say yes to something then go and report me to make me look bad. If she would of just said “No” I would never have purchased the 2nd air fryer to begin with much less bring it to work.
I apologized so many times over a one time thing and they just wouldn't let it go. Was working there for a year with zero issues, I make a mistake once and they just can't get over it.
I'm so glad I'm done with that place, it was by a homeless shelter – I was calling the cops everyday. AP was ghetto would threaten me and other cilents about how if we don't help her in a fight her boyfriend will come shoot up the store.
